[Posted Monday, June 3] In Satya Nadella’s post from earlier today , he describes Microsoft’s transformation to a “cloud-first” business:
Two years ago we bet our future on the cloud and quietly refocused our 19 billion-dollar software business by completely transforming our products, culture and practices to be cloud-first. We knew the journey would be long and challenging with plenty of doubters. But we forged ahead knowing that the cloud transition would change the face of enterprise computing. […]
To enable this transformation we had to make deep changes to our organizational culture, overhauling how we build and deliver products. Every one of our division’s nearly 10,000 people now think and build for the cloud – first.
The fruits of this labor will be announced during my keynote today. Technology leaders love talking about the promise of technologies that are just over the horizon, but Microsoft is now in the unique position of doing much better than that. We are now delivering on our vision with a wave of enterprise products built with this cloud-first approach: Windows Server & System Center 2012 R2 and the update to Windows Intune bring cloud-inspired innovation to the enterprise, and enable hybrid scenarios that cannot be duplicated anywhere in the industry. With this new wave, our partners and customers can do four key things:
- Build a world-class datacenter without barriers, boundaries, or limitations.
- Use a Cloud OS to innovate faster and better than ever before.
- Embrace and control the countless ways users circumvent IT, but still enable productivity.
- Get serious about the cloud with a partner who takes the cloud seriously.
This is an exciting and transformational time, and I am looking forward to charging into a bigger and better IT future with you.
