Cloud, AI Power Microsoft’s Monster Quarter

Tech giant’s impressive growth showcases sustained momentum, with partners poised to benefit from its integrated cloud strategy. 

Microsoft’s impressive first-quarter (July-September) performance shows the tech giant firing on all cylinders. Cloud services continue to drive Microsoft’s growth and create new partner opportunities.

With Azure revenue growth accelerating to 29% and Dynamics 365 up to 28%, Microsoft’s commercial cloud business is growing rapidly. This quarter’s strong cloud metrics weren’t a fluke. They reflect Microsoft’s sustained innovation and execution in cloud computing services and co-selling with independent software vendors (ISVs) through its cloud marketplace.
