Microsoft to raise prices by up to 22pc after slump in pound

Microsoft is increasing its prices by up to 22pc in the UK due to the recent decline of the pound, an increase that is likely to affect thousands of businesses and could cost tens of government of millions of pounds.

The software giant is the latest big name company to force a place prices after the referendum, saying the move would "harmonize" their prices across Europe.

The value of sterling against the dollar, which books revenue Microsoft, declined by about 18pc from the EU referendum June 23

Microsoft's decision comes after giant Unilever Consumer Goods tried to convey a price increase 10pc to British supermarkets, a move that has led to a standstill with Tesco, giving rise to what has been called "Marmitegate" a period of 24 hours during which many Unilever products have disappeared from the online store retailer.
Nestle CEO Paul Bulcke said last week it was considering a number of options to mitigate the fall of the pound, as the rising prices of their products, including KitKat and Nescafé, and reduce costs.

Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England, said food prices were likely to be affected by rising inflation after the fall of the pound sterling.

Costs for enterprise customers Microsoft will increase by 13pc to 22pc of software and cloud services in the so-called line, where the company hosts the customer data in a virtual repository.

Microsoft is one of the largest providers of business software in the UK, led by its set of Office programs such as Word, PowerPoint and Outlook. His service in the cloud, Azure, sells access to computing power and is used by customers, including the Department of Defense.

The price increase will take effect early next year, could cost tens of millions of government pounds a year.

While the Cabinet Office has not commented on how it goes in the Microsoft contract, which is supposed to be at least £ 100 million a year.


The expected price increase comes at a bad time for the government as a major effort to Whitehall to reduce IT costs through a wider lens on the cost of public service.

The price increase will apply to new purchases, instead of current contracts, and Microsoft said it would not increase prices for consumers.

However, the increase is likely a blow to companies that may have to increase IT budgets or sacrifice other projects to pay the higher rates.

In their accounts, Microsoft does not eliminate the income from the UK, but is believed to amount to billions of pounds each year.

Last week, the technology giant based in Seattle reported quarterly sales of $ 20.5 billion (£ 16.8 billion).

Softcat, the British team retailer, said last week it had seen several foreign suppliers to raise prices, was forced to pass on to consumers.

Microsoft has said what he calls "uniformity adjustments" were similar to those made to prices in Norway and Switzerland, following the movements of the crown and the Swiss franc earlier this year.

A spokesman for the Cabinet Office said. "We are constantly monitoring the market and the prices of suppliers to ensure the best value for our customers and the taxpayer When we are aware of the changes proposed price, we will work closely together with the supplier to identify ways to mitigate increases prices ".

Famous programmer who sold his company to Microsoft for about $400 million

Famous programmer who sold his company to Microsoft for about $400 million: 'Microsoft is a different company':

 

In February, Miguel de Icaza and Nat Friedman finally sold their company, Xamarin, to Microsoft for a reported $400 million to $500 million, a sale that many thought was almost destined to happen.

The two founders are legends in the open source developer community with a long, close but sometimes rocky relationship with Microsoft.

Xamarin was founded in 2011 after the two lost their last jobs, where they were building open source tools that helped Windows developers write internet apps. (They had worked for Novell, and were laid off when Novell was sold to a company called Attachmate.) This was during the years when Microsoft was at war with the open source concept and open source developers disliked Microsoft in return.

But Microsoft "a different organization,” these days than it was back in those days under former CEO Steve Ballmer, de Icaza just told The Register, saying (emphasis ours):

"Microsoft by being so opposed to open source ended up rebuilding things that the community was building, and meanwhile Google, Apple, Facebook, they were able to have their engineers solve different problems and just reuse solutions that existed. So yes, 15 years ago they were not very open source friendly, but the people that are now there are a different crowd."


As to why Microsoft bought Xamarin: it allows programmers to easily write mobile apps that work on any popular operating system: iOS, Android, Windows and then host them on their cloud of choice, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, others.

Rumors had been circulating forever that Microsoft wanted to buy Xamarin, or at least invest in it. In the meantime, Oracle tried to swoop in, striking a deal with Xamarin to put Oracle's enormous salesforce behind Xamarin. In exchange, Xamarin encouraged programmers to try Oracle's cloud to host their apps.

Some months later, Microsoft announced the deal to buy the startup for a healthy multiple over its revenues, which Friedman reported as in the "tens of millions of dollars."

de Icaza says there's been almost no other change to the company since Microsoft bought it because Scott Guthrie, the VP in charge of developer tools and the cloud, is taking a hands-off approach.

The one thing that is changing: Xamarin's new mission is to encourage developers to use Microsoft's cloud instead of competitors, but not insist on it. Like all big software makers, Microsoft's future rests on growing its cloud business. The more apps its cloud hosts, the more money it makes.

“Our goal is to help developers go mobile, and hopefully with Azure. What Scott told me was, your mandate is to give developers what they want and your space is mobile, so go make it happen," de Icaza told The Register.

Microsoft Azure IoT Hub Reaches General Availability

Microsoft has recently announced its offer Azure Iot Axis reached general availability (GA). This is a statement tracking public preview from Microsoft in October last year. InfoQ previously covered the public announcement preview under the cover of Azure event.

Azure IO Hub is one of the basic services that make the IO Suite Azure. IO Hub Azure service provides two-way communication between devices and the cloud.

The devices are connected via a gateway local field when Internet connectivity is not available on the device or when a device communicates only unsupported such as ZigBee or Modbus protocols. The gateway on the ground, in turn, will contact the IO Hub Cloud Gateway.

On the other hand, if a device supports HTTP (S) 1.1, 3.1.1 or 1.0 MQTT AMQP can communicate natively with the IO Hub Cloud Gateway. SDK for the device are available for C / C #, Java and JavaScript / Node.js

As part of the General Assembly of the service, Microsoft increased the number of areas where the service is available by adding Southeast Asia, Western Europe and the western United States. Previously, preview, only East Asia, the eastern United States and northern Europe were available.

From the point of view of safety, Azure Hub supports IO device identity and can support customer scenarios involving millions of devices. Since the device is compatible with the identity, administrators can list blacklists and white devices.

Since communication is bidirectional between the device and the cloud, command and control messages can be sent from the cloud that allows operators to change the status of a remote device.

Once a device is connected to the IO Hub Azure messaging and other services that are part of the IO Suite Azure can be used in the treatment of these events.

This enables organizations to perform complex event processing and provide a predictive analysis. The other services that make up the suite of backend Azure IO include: 1 event Azure concentrators (upscale, publish-subscribe engine ingestion) 2 Azure Analytics (analysis and real-time engine flows of complex event processing) 3 Machine Learning Azure (predictive analysis) 4 Azure storage (cloud storage)

The following figure shows an example of how the devices can communicate with the following IO Azure through a gateway on the ground or in a local gateway services and cloud position when these back-end architecture.

Because of the variety and vintage devices involved in the modern architecture of the IO, which allows interoperability between devices and the cloud has been a priority for Microsoft.

Following the need to provide an open solution for IO, Microsoft has developed a certification program and partner in order to encourage adoption. Sam George, managing partner of the IO Azure, some of its recent success in incorporating couple are analyzed. "In the last three months or more, close to 30 industry leaders have joined the program

Today, even announced their participation, including Advantech, Dell, HPE, and Libelium. Each of these partners brings its own proposal in perspective and unique value for the landscape of the IO, and we are delighted to announce this extended industry participation in Azure Certificate IO. "in addition to the partners mentioned above, Microsoft already has agreements with Arduino, BeagleBoard, Freescale, Intel, Raspberry Pi, Samsung and Texas Instruments, among others.
