– All communication from Microsoft about the cloud. But the cloud does not seem in the accounts. Now is the time to transform the company.

It says Nils Molin. He works in Radar and is one of Scandinavia’s leading IT analysts. And he believes the chief-shift suggests that Microsoft will not throw out the old.

– It seems obvious that you are quite right track. You have not had the need for a turnaround, said Molin.

For Satya Nadella has worked 22 years at Microsoft. He was educated in both science and business, and the last his job was just as head of cloud and enterprise among giant in Redmond.

Disruptive Technology

Technology Expert Gisle Hannemyr agree that it’s all about the cloud. He believes Microsoft is exposed to two interfering

technologies (or disruptive technologies, as Americans tend to call it), mobile and cloud, and do everything they can to reinvent itself in the two areas.

– It is by no means a given that they will be equally dominant player in these new areas. Thus, it is very understandable that it is Nadella who gets the job, given that he has been skygeneralen Microsoft says Hannemyr.

– I think this makes strategic sense of them, he said.

Fight Challenges

– Microsoft has great challenges. They have probably seen that they are a company that is in danger of succumbing to disruptive technology.

Hannemyr think Microsoft has tended to be adept at using its dominance on the desktop and office support as leverage to also be great in other areas, especially in business systems.

He believes the company has made a brave attempt to gain acceptance in mobile, Windows 8

– How long do you Nadella sitting?

– Not as long as Ballmer. But that’s just speculation, he said.

– We are of course very happy about this and has every confidence that this will be very good, pronounces a taciturn communications manager Christine Chorus for Computerworld.
