Microsoft has acquired Acompli, provider of innovative mobile email apps for iOS and Android. This acquisition is part of the company-wide effort to help people accomplish more with their mobile devices.
Microsoft has even introduced the Office to the iPad and the iPhone, and we recently announced that we’re bringing Office to Android devices. These are significant steps in our work to deliver the best productivity experiences across mobile platforms, and we’re continuing to push forward.
In a world where more than half of email messages are first read on a mobile device, it’s essential to give people fantastic email experiences wherever they go. The Acompli team is passionate about this quest. Their app provides innovative ways to focus on what’s important in your inbox, to schedule meetings, and work with attachments and files.
Users love how it connects to all email services and provides a single place to manage email with a focus on getting things done. It consistently receives enthusiastic feedback from users and strong app store ratings. Reviews have called it 'your new best friend', “brilliant” and “must have for BYOD.”
It will expedite our work to deliver the full power of Office to mobile devices.
