Microsoft continues to demonstrate success in modern business and workforce transformation through its cloud and AI offerings, Microsoft 365 and mixed reality. Last quarter, Azure cloud had 93% growth, Office 365 with 42% commercial seat growth, and Dynamics 365 with 65% growth. IoT developmentsSome of the first announcements that caught my eye pertained to Microsoft’s Azure IoT Edge technology, where, amongst other things, Microsoft announced a new partnership with DJI, developing drones, and Qualcomm, on a machine learning vision developer kit. Another huge announcement here was that Microsoft is open sourcing Azure IoT Edge Runtime. I won’t go into much detail here, but I published a separate, in-depth blog on Microsoft’s IoT news here which I would encourage you to read if interested.
