Business in a post-Covid19 world
Strategic
I just read this article about the Microsoft Q3 2020 Earnings Call which I wanted to share with you. It is all about how Satya Nadella is thinking about the future of business in a post-covid19 world.
It has some interesting insights and let me share my top 5:
1. “A world of remote everything.”
“As COVID-19 impacts every aspect of our work and life, we have seen two years’ worth of digital transformation in two months. 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. There is both immediate surge demand, and systemic, structural changes across all of our solution areas that will define the way we live and work going forward.”
2. The need for speed, agility, acceleration.
“It’s actually very important to have the ability in a very agile way as a business to be able to move on your business-process needs. So for example if you are a retailer and you now need to do contactless shopping, that is something that, for example, Dynamics is going to support for you to be able to use even commodity cameras with AI modules with all of it helping with our data model that supports our shopping inside of physical stores or curbside pickup or even remote assistance…
“So as long as business applications like ours with Dynamics 365 address the immediate pressing needs, these are project starts that will happen because in some sense that’s the way for economic activity to return. But at the same time I think business applications that perhaps have longer lead in terms of implementation, people are probably going to take some more time to decide on it, but whereas we think we are well positioned to capture the new scenarios.”
3. Remote meetings become the norm—permanently.
Teams now has more than 75 million daily active users… the number of organizations integrating their third-party and line of business apps with Teams has tripled in the past two months…
4. The surging power and significance of developers.
“From Twilio, to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, to more than 10,000 engineers at Daimler, GitHub is where developers go from idea to code and code to cloud. We are bringing GitHub to even more developers, making core features free for the first time for teams of any size.”
5. In a remote world, the edge becomes essential.
“There is no question that moving to the public cloud, even at a time like this, is just capital efficient.“But at the same time, the architecture of the cloud itself is going to be both the cloud and the edge. So it’s not just about migrating off-premise, but it’s also about being able to have an architecture that supports the needs where edge-compute is increasingly going to be very important.”
