Idag skickade Steve Ballmer, via Microsoft News Center, ut ett mail där han presenterar den omorganisation han enligt ämnesraden kallar “One Microsoft“. Likt den omorganisation Tim Cook genomförde i samband med att Scott Forstall lämnade företaget så ska samarbetet mellan företagets olika delar ökas och inte som tidigare vara indelade i exempelvis separata divisioner för Windows, Office, Zune, Xbox med mera.
We are rallying behind a single strategy as one company — not a collection of divisional strategies. Although we will deliver multiple devices and services to execute and monetize the strategy, the single core strategy will drive us to set shared goals for everything we do. We will see our product line holistically, not as a set of islands. We will allocate resources and build devices and services that provide compelling, integrated experiences across the many screens in our lives, with maximum return to shareholders. All parts of the company will share and contribute to the success of core offerings, like Windows, Windows Phone, Xbox, Surface, Office 365 and our EA offer, Bing, Skype, Dynamics, Azure and our servers.
This means we will organize the company by function: Engineering (including supply chain and datacenters), Marketing, Business Development and Evangelism, Advanced Strategy and Research, Finance, HR, Legal, and COO (including field, support, commercial operations and IT). Each discipline will help drive our overall strategy. Each discipline will also be charged with improving our core capabilities in its area. We must improve in all aspects of the business.
