Microsofts new sales chief talks about working with Boeing, competing with Amazon, and. Now, hes the Executive VP of Microsofts Worldwide Commercial Business, making him the companys top salesperson. And hes kicking off his reign with a bang Microsoft and Boeing today announced a partnership that will see the airliner company bring its number crunching analytics products for the aviation industry to the Microsoft Azure cloud. Thats a good sign, given that Microsoft is banking big on the continued growth of its cloud business to anchor the company in the stormy waters of a shrinking PC market and a quickly changing enterprise IT industry. Althoff sat down with Business Insiders Matt Weinberger to talk about Microsofts opportunity, competing with Amazon and Google in the cloud computing market, and what the company still needs to do to win the modern enterprise. An edited transcript is below, but here are some highlights The world will have three computers. The world will have an Azure computer, an AWS computer and probably one from Google. Althoff believes that Microsoft has to win developers over to Azure today, because the major cloud platforms will eventually be the spokes of future technology. I think the number one thing that we need to work through is velocity. Althoff says that in a market changing this fast, customers are looking for Microsoft products to help them manage. He says Microsofts big challenge is delivering those products to customers faster. Today more than two thirds of the assets in Azure are actually non Microsoft workloads. Under Nadella, Microsoft has opened Azures doors to one time competitors like SAP and the free Linux operating system. Data is the new black. Althoff thinks that with competition mounting from Amazon and Google, the thing that makes all the difference is the data that your applications can tap into. Thats why Microsoft is investing so much into tools that help analyze data  even, or especially, from industrial scale internet connected devices like tractors, like Land O Lakes is doing. A lightly edited transcript of our conversation with Althoff is below. Matt Weinberger I understand that Microsoft announced a partnership with Boeing today. Can you tell me a little bit about that Judson Althoff One of the big trends were seeing, and this was a huge theme this past week at WPC Microsofts Worldwide Partner Conference, is that every company that were dealing with is becoming a digital company. Theres really four pillars of digital transformations that we see occurring across these companies. They are, first, really thinking and reimagining how they do their own customer engagement and moving away from transactional moments and customers to more lifetime customer value and customer engagement. Second, leveraging technology to accomplish the same. There is a renewed interest in true employee empowerment, not just providing tools but actually providing them an environment where productivity can be at an all time high and employees can actually feel empowered to get their work done. The third area thats actually a bit of a renaissance is this notion of operationalizing and optimizing rather operations, which you could argue its sort of like the birthplace of IT anyway. Although with connected devices, machine learning and predictive analytics, were taking it to a whole new level. And the fourth area is what we call product transformation. Where people are actually using digital technology to transform the products they bring to market. But the really sort of genesis of it all is actually transforming commercial aviation. And so theyre using our intelligent cloud platform and in Azure, the Cortana intelligence suite and Io. T capability to build out connected aircraft, airline systems, predictive maintenance, fuel optimization scenarios, to really transform the products they bring to market.

This chapter describes the process of installing some or all Oracle Business Intelligence components, including Oracle BI. And prove better value for their customers and think of delivering their product more as a service moving forward. So its a great testament to the direction were moving in and were proud  to consider Boeing a partner in this regard. Weinberger Tell me a little bit more about how Microsoft Azure and the intelligent cloud platform fits into this philosophy. Althoff Really the platform itself is the foundation for so much of this work and it cuts across a number of different scenarios. First is the infrastructure itself, being really the only hyperscale cloud platform that enables hybrid scenarios, so if you think about support for global systems that truly operate on a global basis. Given all of the data privacy, security, and sovereignty constraints, you have to have a hybrid scenario. So the foundation for being able to offer any type of cloud, whether it be your own data center and our public cloud or any permutation in between is a huge differentiator. The second piece of it is really the heavy investment weve made in heterogeneous support for application development over the last couple of years. You maybe sort of rewound back maybe three years ago, Microsoft was thought of really as a fairly closed system to developers.

Microsoft Corporation m a k r s f t, abbreviated as MS is an American multinational technology company with headquarters in Redmond, Washington. Internally, Microsoft runs every aspect of the company using data. We refer to this as our Data Culture. As the leader of business intelligence and. Bring Microsoft SQL Server 2017 to the platform of your choice. Use SQL Server 2017 on Windows, Linux, and Docker containers. But today more than two thirds of the assets in Azure are actually non Microsoft workloads. Today more than two thirds of the assets in Azure are actually non Microsoft workloads. Theyre open source workloads, theyre third party IP running Azure, and this open nature is really sort of attracting the modern developer from every paradigm. So thats been a huge leap forward and I think theres a big attractor for Boeing as well. And then the final piece is the heavy and rich investment we have in data. One of the comments sort of off hand at WPC this week was that data is the new black. Which was thought of this geeky data center paradigm of Well, hey you know, we could have a data strategy, is now a board room discussion because data fuels intelligence. Whether its the system or an application, the system can only be as intelligent as the data over which it reasons. And the fabric that we have built into Azure that allows you to have really every kind of data construct, from traditional, relational constructs all the way to non structured machine learning constructs. Weinberger Tell me the importance of selling to developers in the current market landscape. Althoff You have to meet them where they want to be, so things like our Xamarin acquisition that allows a developer to take a single line of code and target thousands of different mobile devices and testing and regressively get their ideas to market faster. Xamarin co founder and CEO Nat Friedman. Xamarin. Supporting any kind of backend construct in the Azure platform itself, hugely beneficial to attracting the hearts and minds of the folks that will invent our future in this digital world. Developers think of Microsoft as a partner, and if I even just think through some of the competitive scenarios weve been through over the last quarter where either ISV andor commercial customers have moved away from some of the competitive cloud platforms. Theyve done so because they think of Microsoft and see Microsoft acting and working together as a partner. And whether thats a technology foundation that Ive spoken of before, and being much more open in our approach, or the fact that weve actually structured our go to market teams to work with partners out in the field so that any kind of partner wins, and weve now sort of basically coupled tens of thousands of Microsoft sales people around the world to partner success.
