Microsoft Corporation acquired Mobile Data Labs, a transaction announced in November 2015.
Mobile Data Labs operates in Office Product Group. Mobile Data Labs makes MileIQ, an app that uses a phone's sensors to automatically capture and calculate business mileage for tax deductions and reimbursements. Microsoft acquired it to expand intelligent productivity solutions for the tens of millions of mobile professionals in a mobile-first, cloud-first world.
Microsoft wanted to reduce the time mobile professionals spend on administrative tasks like mileage, expenses and reimbursements, reinventing productivity and business process.
The average MileIQ subscriber is able to deduct $547 per month in business miles, putting money back in their pockets.Rajesh Jha, Executive Vice President, Office Product Group, Microsoft
