Indeed, UST powers all of Microsoft’s key businesses - Azure, Office 365, XBOX, Bing Ads, Windows Phone, a Windows App Store, to name just a few. Whatever the business Microsoft is in, monetization will be a critical part.

UST is in continuous agile evolution, through a services-oriented engineering model, in which the overall solution consists of well integrated but loosely coupled and independent services.
