Research and Markets: Microsoft 4Q14 Report - Successfully Managing Cloud MigrationResearch and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nbhh9h/microsoft_4q14) has announced the addition of the "Microsoft 4Q14 Report - Successfully managing cloud migration" company profile to their offering. Microsoft (News - Alert) will retain customers by using on-premises strengths and a growing cloud portfolio to offer deployment flexibility. According to '4Q14 Microsoft' report, Microsoft, like many of its traditional software peers, has relied on license and maintenance streams to sustain long-term revenue. Triple-digit year-to-year growth in commercial cloud, contrasted with total licensing declines of nearly 10%, suggests Microsoft has reached a tipping point where subscription growth will erode traditional software. We believe Mirosoft is ahead of its peers in this license-to-subscription transition as it capitalizes on the stickiness of Office, through monetization flexibility and solutions bundling. Creating cross-selling opportunities and offering deployment flexibility through improved integration between on-premises and cloud-based assets will be critical as hybrid IT becomes the end game for many enterprises. It is expected these hybrid IT use cases will help Microsoft buoy its traditional license revenue. The 4Q14 Microsoft report features unique analysis and insight into Microsoft's strategy from financial, go-to-market, product, alliance, acquisition and resource management standpoints. This report provides Microsoft with a total average score that benchmarks it against peers based on financial, go-to-market and resource management metrics. The report appendix includes models covering Microsoft's revenue by business, regional revenues, headcount figures and operating expenses, along with projections for Microsoft's performance in the upcoming quarter.
