We believe that it is emerging not only as a platform, but also as a platform that can facilitate a new wave of innovation. Technology improves and penetration increases.
Under Nadella, Microsoft has successfully deployed a layer-cake strategy of building platforms on top of platforms, an AI platform powered by OpenAI that powers the group’s Azure cloud business, Microsoft 365 business and productivity platform, search and It should be strengthened in tandem with advertising. A platform and, over time, its consumer platform.
Microsoft will report its December quarter earnings on Tuesday night, kicking off the US tech reporting season with a sharp drop in profits. The software giant announced last week layoffs of 10,000 employees. It’s part of a wave of layoffs across tech companies.
