Microsoft today posted impressive results, once again underpinned by Azure, its golden goose.

When it comes to the earnings of big tech, cloud is becoming increasingly central to success. Despite the work-from-home guidance being lifted, the hybrid model of work is here to stay and cloud providers are expected to continue their impressive revenue growth in the UK.

Microsoft’s Teams and Azure offerings are expected to remain central to how many businesses now operate. Teams can support calls, emails, video conferencing, document sharing/collaboration and chat all in one place. Very few apps provide a similar one-stop-shop approach, which is a key reason for its success.
