ixed reality, which allows users
to interact with virtual objects in
the real world, offers possibilities
for new uses to support companies’ digital
transformation. To support them, Econocom,
a distributor of Microsoft’s HoloLens
self-contained holographic computer, is
launching a ‘Mixed-Reality-as-a-Service’
offering. The only one of its kind on the
European market, this turnkey offering
combines the state-of-the-art HoloLens
technology, related services, dedicated apps
and financing.
Microsoft HoloLens
in healthcare
After announcing its partnership with
Microsoft to distribute HoloLens in Europe,
Econocom now offers a fee-based model,
which matches its clients’ economic
expectations and offers them the flexibility
they need to implement their digital
transformation projects successfully.
With ‘Mixed-Reality-as-a-Service’, Econocom
offers, for an all-inclusive subscription,
hardware, dedicated apps and services
designed especially for this cutting-edge
technology. Companies are thus prepared
for any unexpected incidents, thanks to
the next-day swap warranty for example
and can also address the issue of digital
hardware obsolescence thanks to the
technology upgrade service.
“The aim of this partnership between
Microsoft and Econocom is to help our
clients speed up their digital transformation,”
explained Paul Corriveau, Microsoft’s Global
Head of Network Marketing & Partners
for HoloLens. “By offering mixed reality
‘as-a-service’, Econocom is establishing
itself as a market leader and confirming its
commitment to making mixed reality and
3D technologies accessible to any company
looking to improve its productivity and ways
of working.”

Microsoft HoloLens
in education
Econocom now offers the widest portfolio
of applications on the market thanks to its
alliance with 13 state-of-the-art European

integrators, startups, etc.). These companies
(Assoria, Conseil 3D, Diota, Holoforge

Pearson, Plain concepts, Synergiz, Taqtile,
Theoris, VISR), specialise in fields such as
computer-assisted maintenance, research
and education, modelling via holograms
and revolutionising the in-store customer
experience. As such, they are all actively
contributing to deploying mixed reality
in organisations in manufacturing, retail,
healthcare and education.
“With the HoloLens partnership, we’ve
brought together a community of
companies, all of whom are leaders in their
markets and are committed to facilitating
companies’ access to mixed reality. This
technology and solutions are now becoming
accessible to all companies,” added
