Unpacking the future impact of Microsoft technologies

Overview

Microsoft used to be extremely rigid in their development process. Every six months, they’d release a big, new update. People would complain that things didn’t work and then they’d have to wait another few months before the issue was solved. An approach that is well documented.

Today, Microsoft’s rhythm has evolved as the business embraces a more Agile way of doing things. This approach has changed the whole company. Now, we get updates more frequently, which means that issues are resolved in no time at all.

And we see this in the breadth of innovation in so many aspects of the work Microsoft is currently doing.

The findings of our recent survey revealed that it is these innovations that are having the greatest impact. It’s less about the paradigm-shifting, leading edge solutions and more about upping efficiency. Modern businesses aren’t concerned with reinventing the wheel. In fact, they’re looking for ways to make it better and more useful, which in turn makes businesses more productive, and ultimately, more profitable.
