Industry and the restructuring of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is causing some headaches for large software corporations of America. Commentators are giving an unavoidable conclusion, that Lumia smartphone is dead, or, at least, are seriously injured.
The departure of two remarkable characters of Nokia seems increasingly confirms the conclusion “death” of the Lumia smartphone business. These days, the international media constantly reporting on the departure of former CEO Stephen Elop Nokia, and one of his trusted lieutenants, Jo Harlow.
Additionally, Nokia again has confirmed Finnish firm intends to restore production segment, business smartphones.
Here are reviews of some bloggers, the famous critic, Computer World synthetic air:
Kelly Fiveash write on The Register that the former CEO Stephen Elop of Nokia officially gone. Vice President Terry Myerson will assume Microsoft’s new mission is called Windows and Devices Group, together with the Operating System Group and MS group Devices Group. This change came just before the end of Microsoft’s fiscal year.
Nadella CEO said: “Stephen and I agreed that it was time for him to integrate (Stephen Elop) retired. I wish to know where the next head of his troops. ”
Paul Thurrott in the article on page Nadella Petri.com said repeatedly to the changes that he hopes will bear fruit …. This week, Nadella to “sweep” Microsoft headquarters again, consolidating business units and fired some senior personnel. The business units are being merged forces under a single leader.
But that means that Stephen Elop, who supervised the array Microsoft Devices Group will leave. This situation raises a number of questions, but the most obvious concerns relates to … Windows Phone. Elop leaving, people would probably spontaneously speculation about Microsoft’s commitment to … Lumia and perhaps … Windows 10 Mobile.
And Alex Wilhelm noted in a loss other than Lumia on Techcrunch: Elop leaving, along with Jo Harlow, who joined Microsoft with Elop. The both of them ran away for a while very noteworthy, not only in how Microsoft will phone operator how arrays, but also on the financial balance sheet of Microsoft.
In April, Microsoft has made quite forthright comments on the situation of the array device. Phone businesses of Microsoft’s main purpose related to the acquisition of software maker Nokia. With the current situation, the strategy of Microsoft phone can fall into disbelief and push developers to switch to rival platforms.
Maybe there will not be anything wrong, but the current situation is exuding something negative. Internal reforms strongly with the departure of senior personnel seems to see something change will happen with Microsoft.
Meanwhile, some critics calling for CEO Satya Nadella should choose our words more carefully. Mr. Nadella once said: “In order to better promote our ability, and the ultimate goal is to offer products and better service that consumers love with a faster speed, I decided to hold back activities into 3 groups …. And as a result, some members of the Senior Leadership Team will be gone “.
Critics Richi Jennings, who was an editor, famous analysts, have decoded two main ideas in his message Nadella as follows. Firstly, according to him, this is not saying, using different language what he Nadella, but in this context it shows a clear message: the Lumia is not a “cash cow” to bring money back to Microsoft.
Second, the implication behind his words was recently Microsoft has taken the things that consumers do not enjoy, and even giving too slow. And one analyst Richi Jennings another third are “part of Elop’s fault.”
Georgina Prodhan, another critic, said Nokia planned information design and licensing smartphone back in 2016, “very meaningful”. “Nokia has sold phone business to Microsoft in 2014 after years of declining sales. But many analysts believe Microsoft will lost all or part of the $ 7.2 billion deal.
