Microsoft plans to focus on winning over industries that it believes have fallen behind in cloud modernization.
Even in our increasingly digital world, not all businesses have turned to the cloud which is why Microsoft is preparing to ramp up its efforts to build products designed for specific industries. At a recent virtual event put on by Bloomberg, EVP of business development at Microsoft, Christopher Young said that “we’ll see industries that were traditionally slow movers, slow adopters of technology do more”. The software giant plans to focus its attention on industries such as architecture and engineering which it believes have fallen behind when it comes to cloud modernization. Microsoft isn’t the only cloud computing provider pursuing this strategy as Google Cloud has released new industry-specific applications and Oracle has a wide range of programs for professionals across several industries ranging from healthcare to human resources.
