Rep Power: 4 | There is no doubt in the fact that Google is the world’s leader when it comes to searching solutions on the internet. However, Microsoft does not want the same to happen in the enterprise space. Microsoft Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner spoke during a speech targeting their prime competitors including Google, IBM and others: “We’re not going to let Google win in the enterprise space. That’s our house, our market space.” He further said: “Then we’ve got Novell, Linux, Red Hat and other competitors. We’re going after IBM and Google. We’re going to win because we have a better solution, better total cost of ownership. We’re going to get at the competition.” He was speaking in front of hundreds of Microsoft partners gathered for the closing keynote at Microsoft’s partner conference Thursday in Boston. He added: “This is a very revenue focused company and our revenue focus is elevated.” The company is planning to target the “premier” versions of its forthcoming Windows Vista and Office 2007 updates to the enterprise sector and would be offering simpler licenses and better commitments to the end clients. |
