Microsoft is tightening as a restructuring three dragon head
The software giant is a substantial restructuring, Microsoft now seven division will be reduced to three. That way, the Microsoft after will be more power is more a few hands in control. Through the restructuring, Microsoft can improve decision-making process, improve the market reaction speed. Microsoft's chief executive Steven a. Ballmer said the more representative of the Microsoft's goal.
【 eNet silicon valley power news 】 the United States eastern standard time on 21 September (Beijing time on September 22), according to the latest news from overseas, local time on September 14, Microsoft chief executive Steven a. Ballmer in Las Vegas Venice hotel conference room in the empty if wild with foreign well-known magazine on A tireless talk, he said that Microsoft will not be their bureaucracy encumbered with. At that time, Ballmer said: "we are the world's most healthy enterprise." Of course, Microsoft the existing system limit the division managers cooperation. But Ballmer still insist on, it will not affect to produce great software Microsoft.
Six days after (yesterday), Ballmer announced to the outside world since 2002 Microsoft biggest a restructuring plan, its purpose is to help software giant get faster action time and higher efficiency. Microsoft now seven division will be reduced to three division. One is the Platform Products and Services (Platform Products & Services) division, its Products include Windows and MSN; Second is the Server and Tools (Server and Tools) division that business group, its products include Office and Microsoft business solutions; A third is Entertainment and equipment (Entertainment and Devices) division, including Xbox game console and mobile equipment group.
Sent to Microsoft employees about the restructuring plan E-mail Ballmer said: "we made the aim is to make Microsoft can in the management of incredible enterprise growth and carry out the service strategy based on software to make faster agility."
Over the next 18 months, Microsoft will launch a variety of facing a medium-sized enterprise market products and host system solutions.
The more rapid delivery
In addition, Microsoft announced to several technology industry of great people not decided to retire processing. Jim Allchin with Microsoft as 15 years, since Windows 98 has been responsible for all versions of Microsoft have patents operating system development, the plan in his last work in Windows Vista retire after the end of next year listed.
Allchin said: "I absolutely love the company, and has been in creating great products, I to Microsoft enthusiasm has not changed. By the end of next year, is also released Windows Vista after I left, I believe that the days of this one I was fortunate to work with world-class team will continue to complete our long-term mission."
Microsoft also announced, the company's chief technology officer, Lotus Notes author Ray Ozzie will concurrently as a leading Microsoft extended Internet services business. Ray Ozzie will assume a big responsibility, development across three departments of the service project based on software, in order to better service and software company against Google and yahoo.
Make major restructuring plan seemed to solve the trouble is recently Microsoft trouble, including more and more heavy bureaucracy, innovation barriers and falling customer loyalty. Its rivals, such as Google company and Salesforce. Com web site, where the sometimes action faster quickly, it let Microsoft in a very bad situation.
Improve sexual enterprise structure
Microsoft spokesman Larry Cohen said: "about Microsoft make reorganization goal is just to solve those (the above already make a list of the problem of view is incorrect." In addition, Microsoft plans to continue to streamline decision-making process, in order to reduce the time spent products before shipment. "
The new enterprise reorganization structure will be more responsibility more minority leaders into the hands of. Ballmer in 2002 for Microsoft established seven group enterprise structure, and the structure be him for six years on the characteristics of the term of office of the chief executive. Ballmer was the purpose is to give Microsoft each division leaders more freedom and rights to promote product development. But sometimes such structure but will in one or two places cause a blockage, because some leaders will implement the plan is only for the division of their products more not fully take care of other divisions of the products. Forrester Research company vice President, analysts Ted Schadler says: "Microsoft new structure of the enterprise urge the executive is responsible for, and the old structure of the enterprise but can't do this."
The new group restructuring of the leadership is still by Microsoft "old" personnel as. Business division will be before the platform is responsible for Microsoft global sales of Kevin Johnson lead, but Allchin will be in after his retirement he accept the division. Business group will from 1981 in to join Microsoft is currently leading worth us $11 billion Information workers business division (Information Worker business) Jeff Raikes leadership. In the 16 years Microsoft Xbox is currently leading the division of Robbie Bach will lead the Entertainment and equipment (Entertainment and Devices) division.
Robbie Bach Xbox is the soul of business character levels, the Microsoft's restructuring in Microsoft to further improve the status, also from some extent reflects the Microsoft for the attention of the Xbox360. Robbie Bach and the entertainment and equipment department responsible for the Xbox is equivalent to the department of career before Microsoft family and entertainment department and equipment department integration, the large scale. Xbox360 is Microsoft "living room strategy" to realize the important link, still in strategic investment stage, so every year in losses, but the loss in a year are reduced.
"Difficult lesson"
Restructuring of the three division after Microsoft will still must be one of the other two segment remain consistent strategy, the purpose of which is to clear the enterprise process. Cohen said: "our hope is in common areas for each division of work together." In the past, Microsoft's website and the personal computer search engine is different divisions working content covers it. Now, Microsoft wants the new enterprise architecture can let each division to cooperate more closely to the behavior of more efficient and to deal with Google company and other rivals.
For Microsoft employees about their decision to retire the electronic mail, Allchin slightly talked about he faces a series of challenges, and now Microsoft's restructuring plan will begin to gradually points out specific details. Allchin says, his dream is to one day Microsoft can in engineering organization encounter fewer and fewer inferior stumbling block "rely on". He also talked about a strategic try to integrate a Microsoft product to speed up the development.
Current and former Microsoft employees are already said, Allchin said these "challenge" is why Windows XP listed after five years, under which a version of Windows Vista to the cause of the event, this is Microsoft unprecedented product update interval. Allchin believe Microsoft in the past 18 months has made some in this progress, but it's not enough. He said: "the result will be more Microsoft restructuring to innovation, more rapid response consumers."
Ballmer said: "to make the changes are in order to make our business department to improve decision making and improve the execution speed, and is to help our clients want to continue to provide the products and services. Through the will of software and service experience mutual confluence, we can better satisfy the customers on the digital lifestyle and the needs of the new working environment."
"Stop the debate, improve Microsoft"
Microsoft's major restructuring plan is announced, immediately attracted the domestic critics public indictment. The blog race also joined the ranks of opposition, such as anonymous for Mini-Microsoft blog for Microsoft's family have sorrow chatterbox. To this, Allchin suggest Microsoft employees of the company to stop all sin against another, and should be addressed these exist in the problem of Microsoft. Allchin advice Microsoft employees: "if you want to want to see different Microsoft, you should dig out will improve place, then stop the arguing and improve Microsoft."
For all to more agile Microsoft about the conversation, the major restructuring plan's influence did not like Microsoft imagine to that success. Special study of Microsoft research firm Directions on Microsoft Matt Rosoff of the analysts said: "Microsoft's restructuring plan for the company has certainly made many change. But there are more places need restructuring. Microsoft" Especially for Microsoft this great company, agility and can be formed overnight.

Forbes magazine publisher of richie Karl, one of high (Rich Karlgaard) days prior to writing about think, now Microsoft has no longer is eager to innovation of the genius of the heaven.
According to Forbes article quoted by website Ritchie said, now for the Microsoft software workers, it has become a piece of pure land of fortune. Most people hold the following attitude to software empire: work 80 hours a week, strive hard 5 years, after get part of the company stock, after fame likeliest long-term outcome. But for once by intelligence war in Microsoft software developers not content to be mostly useless employees, only maintenance Windows and Office this've done "BaYe". They are more willing to invest to a new enterprise such as the search engine Google's door, this year July by the middle of Microsoft China research institute President li kaifu move into the act of Google are examples.
The article says, in 12 years ago with Microsoft's empire soul with Bill Gates travel, richie once asked gates: "what is your company as Microsoft's competitors?" "The investment bank Goldman Sachs," gates answer that all the people in the least surprised, for the investment bank's business and Microsoft it is irrelevant. Gates explained, because the most intelligent people choose a software field of employers will gather to Microsoft corp. 's. So instead of investment banking is high IQ, enterprise, such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley a threat to Microsoft.
The article says, in the next five years, gates had hundreds of times to mention the concept of IQ. Microsoft for high IQ talent pursuit has come to the point of crazy, this is also the final achievement of the software empire BaYe. According to statistics, Microsoft corp. 's employees for about 60000, and sales have reached $40 billion, on average each employee sales of $650000, and the number of IBM, which is twice as much.
However, search engine giant Google's d-will let gates began to feel the unprecedented pressure.

Microsoft future growth rely on what MSN business can hold up half the sky
When examine the profit potential Microsoft and find that many business all have good potential.
On one hand, Microsoft will soon introduce a widely anticipated's best-selling game, it is still in development a lot of operating system and application software of new products; On the other hand, Microsoft is the growth potential of MSN.
Microsoft released most of the researchers report in the soft rib is one of its Internet business department, MSN department's sales income is $564 million, compared with the same period last year, up only 1%. MSN department contains the order based on Internet access service, online content portal, search engines, in the access services and content, it faces AOL competition, in search and advertising business, is faced with Google and yahoo's competition.
MSN: growth engine?
Although accounts for only of overall sales income of Microsoft is very small part, MSN's future is very important, because it has become Google and yahoo in the search field successful competitors, MSN can give Microsoft bring some very need growth.
In three years, Microsoft's stock has been no real impression, analysts and investors have to Microsoft's growth performance up any hope, especially because its software and operation systems business is saturated, won't appear any significant growth.
Think MSN will drive the Microsoft earnings growth optimists mentioned its server software business department of success. Fulcrum Global Partners LLC analysts Milton friedman says that, despite its server software business early start slowly, it has developed into a highly profitable business, has driven this quarter sales income growth.
Accounting for 75% of the advertising business income MSN year-on-year growth of 20%. MSN AD revenue from MSN. Com site on the display advertising, and the search engine advertising. But, MSN AD revenue is quarter dropped 4% of Microsoft's chief financial officer Chris admits, MSN search AD revenue did not come up to the expectations. In addition, more like AOL MSN in architecture, not yahoo or Google. As more and more consumer to broadband connection, dial-up service income fell in the stable.
Microsoft hope through the launch "advertising center" to increase sales. Microsoft has been in France and Singapore launched the product, is the United States test. Microsoft hope it helps strengthen the MSN and yahoo and Google than competitiveness.
Put all your eggs in one basket?
SG Cowen analyst cloth los and Europe said, though he feels media to Microsoft and Google, yahoo competition of the report was "exaggerated", but no suspense, bring in advertising revenue, as Google, yahoo Microsoft really well done. MSN does for Microsoft is very important, it sees the create a and Google, yahoo similar enterprise of business opportunities, will give Microsoft add momentum of growth.
Caris analyst mark said, paid search market competition is not fierce, because it also is not close to the saturated, Microsoft, yahoo, Google and other manufacturers are still have enough development space.
Milton friedman says, because of the growth potential has a, Microsoft need to make future with MSN relevant decision. Milton friedman says that for Microsoft is concerned, a reliable strategy is to search ability sold to AOL. But, no matter adopt what kind of measures, Microsoft should be more decisive some. He said Microsoft need to put all your eggs in one basket, or quit, or quickly solve the problems now.
Atlantic Equities analyst Christopher also have the same feeling, he said, unless take steps to solve the problem now, or Microsoft will become the third, four big search engine provider, and this is Microsoft do not want to do.
The Internet weekly: Microsoft’s new arithmetic
When software to a surprising way surge from the Internet, Microsoft finally to sit still
Microsoft's strategy transformation by many people as late to happen, but they didn't expect to come so suddenly, even seem to be some hasty. The United States time on November 1, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates with his chief technical officer Ray Ozzie appeared together in the San Francisco, in "almost no any marketing", announced a special significance for Microsoft in the strategy. The commercial weekly of the evaluation of the given that, it will be ten years ago on the Microsoft browser since the war started Netscape and Microsoft's most important Internet strategy.
"The plan reflect our attitude of the software of a revolutionary change," gates said, "on the ecological system of every part, is a change." According to the gates of the plan, Microsoft will soon launch two new forms of Web services, including mainly for the individual user "Windows Live", which covers the instant messaging service, called Kahuna new Web mail service and innovation of the blog service after Microsoft Spaces; For small business users "Office Live" is basically is Office application package online edition, can help users convenient online update and upgrade. The two new service all can pass a special offer new web site provides.
The Wall Street journal also immediately to Microsoft moves the evaluation: "the move is in for Microsoft and software related order or advertising business opportunity to create new." Obviously, not long ago the restructuring of the original Microsoft has just seven sector, the MSN and Windows department together after, gates's true purpose is now is revealed undoubted, "this means that online (Live) software, the arrival of the era of this era is taking a new look at the way software, in a wonderful way to create chances."
Network services change
Although gates finally positive to admit that the "network has changed the software" is a reality, and the hand of the large cash Microsoft still can be in accordance with the it good at moves easily to try new methods, but after all, or slow half step. "And competitors, Microsoft in the development and launch of new service speed behind the obvious," to provide network CRM hosting service famous Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff made it clear that "Google, yahoo and Salesforce has to Microsoft launched a fierce attack, Microsoft have to remake himself, or have no other choice."
Marc's views are very typical. Microsoft's Windows Vista has let people wait for five years, but until today, and you just see the outline; Although gates and ballmer total in different occasions reiterated Microsoft's innovation ability and technology soul, but users can always seemed to be really understand. And IT is in this period, in numerous IT giant also for Web services in all kinds of standard and interface protocols "pushing" each other when, with Google as a representative of emerging Internet forces used a subversive type attitude swept through the world.
People increasingly find, originally a hunger sophisticated Web services could be so kind in the side appears. Although the monopoly of Microsoft still entrenched status, but the new forces behind the business model and brand new thinking onslaught, not only let Microsoft live business model threatened, and almost the network service concept of traditional completely rewritten. Analysts at Goldman sachs Rick Sherlund so said: "these will to Microsoft business model to produce huge impact."
In fact is not only Microsoft, the IT industry in many giant speaking, people use application at any time and place software and service needs gradually intense, once the Web service even grid computing vision as soon as you start to quietly into reality, change and transformation is also become a stream of irreversible trend. This also is IBM over the past decade's try our best to service and hit "with the need to strain" banner; Intel earlier this year reorganization business group, focusing on chasing "application mode" rather than chip speed; Sun low in the change in attitude survival, embracing Microsoft and Google; EMC vigorously develop software and services; HP repeated adjustment strategic centre of gravity, make Allies; Microsoft constantly mild and begins its company history the strategic adjustment of the third major reasons.
In this context, the future for a very long time, in the whole process of the Data calculated position will be unprecedented highlight and amplifier, a Data as the core of the calculation (Data-Centric Computing) times is barreling in and come, open, standard, virtualization, storage, security and so on vocabulary, have become one of the most popular in the age of the concept, and was almost every one of the IT company has repeatedly mentioned.
