Satya Nadella as Microsoft CEO is Great News for Microsoft Dynamics

Some in the market today are coming out and claiming doom and gloom with the announcement this week of Satya Nadella as the new CEO of Microsoft. Some have even gone so far as to say that it’s great for Microsoft’s ERP and CRM competitors.

Here’s another thought, especially for potential and current Microsoft Dynamics customers: This is fantastic and amazing news! Many people are unaware of the fact that Mr. Nadella actually ran the Dynamics Business group within Microsoft. He grew it from a $1.5B business line to a $5B business line within Microsoft in 5 years! Now imagine where we can go with the Dynamics products today, given how deeply integrated they are with the entire Microsoft stack of solutions (Office/Office365, SQL Server, Windows Server) enabled for mobile devices (Windows Phone, Surface Tablet) and are beginning to be enabled for gesture-based user interfaces (Xbox One/Kinect).

Here’s a great article that talks about how Mr. Nadella can transform Microsoft: http://venturebeat.com/2014/02/04/the-new-microsoft-how-satya-nadella-will-transform-the-company/
