Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella: "We saw two years of digital transformation in two months"
By MYBRANDBOOK
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella states that due to Coronavirus, Microsoft has seen two years' worth of digital transformation in just two months of its third-quarter (January-March). He also mentioned how remote teamwork, learning, sales and customer service and cloud infrastructure evolved during the time. He also said that Microsoft 365, GitHub, Windows 10 and LinkedIn have all witnessed a surge in users.
'From remote teamwork and learning to sales and customer service to critical cloud infrastructure and security, we are working alongside customers every day to help them stay open for business in a world of remote everything,' he added during an earnings.
As new work norms evolve, organisations are realizing they need a comprehensive solution that brings together communications, collaboration and business process, built on a foundation of security and privacy.
'More broadly, we continue to see momentum with organizations across Microsoft 365. Office 365 now has 258 million paid seats. Usage of Windows virtual desktop tripled this quarter as organizations deploy virtual desktops and apps on Azure to enable secure remote work,' informed Nadella.
Amid the changing jobs market, LinkedIn's role in creating economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce has never been more acute, according to Microsoft.
'LinkedIn is where more than 690 million professionals go to connect, learn new skills and find new opportunities, contributing to record levels of engagement across the platform in Q3,' said Nadella.
Professionals watched nearly four million hours of content on LinkedIn Learning in March, a nearly 50 per cent increase month-over-month.
'With LinkedIn Live, people and organizations can broadcast video content to their networks in real time. Streams are up 158 per cent since February,' he informed.
Microsoft saw all-time record gaming engagement in its third quarter, with nearly 19 million active users of Xbox Live, led by the strength on and off-console.
'Xbox Game Pass has more than 10 million subscribers, and we are seeing increased monetization of in-game content and services. And our Project xCloud gaming service now has hundreds of thousands of users in preview across 7 countries, with 8 more launching in the coming weeks,' Nadella added.
