Microsoft has teamed up with traffic, navigation and mapping products company TomTom to bring enterprise-grade location-based services to Microsofts Azure Cloud platform.

TomTom will integrate its services into Azure to make it even easier and more flexible for developers to build and manage enterprise, mobile, web and internet of things (IoT) applications that are location aware.

"Teaming up with Microsoft will bring our technology to a much broader developer community on a platform they are already familiar with," added Harold Goddijn, CEO, TomTom.
