Let's try to understand together why Microsoft acquired LinkedIn Yesterday there was an unexpected turning point in the High-Tech world, with the acquisition of LinkedIn by Microsoft for a whopping $26.2 billion: $196 per share, in cash! CEO Satya Nadella strongly wanted the purchase of the Social Network giant, after having acquired (and then resold) Nokia and Skype, without however managing to obtain appreciable results both in the field of smartphones and video calls. But now why did we want to focus on the world of social media? The company based in Redmond, Washington state has decided to focus firmly on the professional world, as it has realized the potential inherent in the world of social media, especially in the professional field.
The watchword therefore becomes sharing of skills, remote collaboration, online Find Your Phone Number meetings, the professional world in a single extra-physical place. The world of work is becoming increasingly dispersed in different parts of the planet, so it is necessary to provide a solution to all those companies, especially medium-large level ones, which have multiple production sites, multiple physical locations, and departments located in different parts of the globe . Starting from Skype and the technical skills acquired, to the purchase of LinkedIn, to the ownership of Office 365 and Dynamics, Microsoft could really give a hard time to another player in the sector that has been trying to take this market share for some time: Facebook and Zuckerberg, who recently started Facebook at work.
And it can do so by also counting on Slide Share, which at the time was acquired by LinkedIn itself. In the following screen you can understand the scope of this union which promises to be interesting: linkedin-microsoft-graphs-100665888-orig The combination between the two companies will create a new experience for the user, since the entire professional world will be completed by the union of these two giants , says Nadella . Through this new platform that we are about to create, it will be possible to experience the world of work at 360 degrees: it will be possible to access job offers and apply, hold job interviews directly from the platform through video calls, have online meetings with colleagues, share articles and have access to different skills through e-learning, work on complex projects using Office, create new monetization opportunities through advertising.
