Microsoft Corp. has announced that Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance Company is deploying approximately 30,000 Windows 8 tablets as new sales devices for its sales personnel under close cooperation between Fujitsu Limited and Microsoft Japan Co.

According to the Company, Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance will start to conduct sales activities using the new tablets nationwide starting in Sept. 2013.

As part of an effort to enhance its customer service experience, Microsoft noted that Meiji Yasuda reviewed its procedures and services from the ground up, based on customer feedback, and developed face-to-face services that provide useful information in understandable terms.

Leveraging the advantages offered by tablets, Meiji Yasuda will enhance communication with its customers by using videos and other content to explain its products. The Company said that Meiji Yasuda will also aim to focus more resources on improving service and boosting its competitiveness by streamlining contract processing and helping eliminate the need for printed documentation while providing enhanced security.

Microsoft reported that Fujitsu, the partner focusing on the implementation of this deployment, selected the Company's Windows 8 Pro enterprise operating system to develop a specialized Windows 8 tablet to enhance customer service by digitizing procedures and providing beneficial information in an understandable format. With this development, Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance will be the first Japanese life insurance company to adopt Windows 8 Pro.

Microsoft is a company focusing on software, services and solutions.
