Without surprise, the explosion and adoption of cloud computing in 2021 will continue to be the biggest tech driver for 2022. Therefore, the Microsoft Cloud continues to differentiate itself from the rest.
As Microsoft Gold Partners, we want you to stay ahead of the trends and learn more about how the cloud is impacting industries of all kinds, globally. Here’s a look at some of the things you can expect to see from Microsoft and each of their digital tools and cloud services this year and beyond.
One of the most notable Microsoft trends to watch for this year is its focus on vertical clouds. Industry-specific clouds for healthcare, finance, manufacturing, oil, and gas, just to name a few, will bundle templates and applications of Microsoft 365, Azure, Dynamics 365, and others interfaces to help industries transform and scale for further innovation.
Designed to connect people and solve business challenges, the Microsoft Azure platform continues to grow. With more than 200 products and cloud services, its revenue grew 51% during Q4 of 2021. Microsoft will continue to make investments in Azure apps including Azure Arc, Azure Synapse, and Azure Stack HCI—all of which are key tools that support hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge infrastructures.
It has been proven during the past years that data security and compliance are at the heart of every business’ IT strategy. This trend will continue in 2022. With cloud migration and remote workforces creating cybersecurity issues, companies are looking for deeper risk insights and ways to protect their organization and employees. Microsoft’s Azure puts security front and center in 2022 with enhanced risk management, security, end-to-end traceability, and cost-savings benefits.
Microsoft is the number one vendor for data management offerings and will continue to make data management a key focus into 2022. With both cloud a don-premise solutions, managing data services will become easier for businesses that often handle an overwhelming number of services. New features for the Azure Synapse Analytics Platform will help with integration, analysis, and governance.
With more than 50 million subscribers, Microsoft 365 is still the go-to SaaS platform for mid-market and SMB companies. Some of the new features added will include more embedded AI details, Teams will see more development and support, a push for more applications in the automation for business workflows, and more to enable better remote work.
Dynamics 365’s business-empowering applications that bring ERP and CRM capabilities together will continue to evolve to meet new demands in 2022. Expect new features and capabilities for mobile CRM, AI for personalized marketing, and unified communication channels.
Microsoft’s SharePoint platform will continue to be one of the most widely used tool sets for project management, particularly as business leaders look for solutions to support and empower their remote and hybrid workforces. To help transform the digital experience, Microsoft recently unveiled their SharePoint Server Subscription Edition to make sharing forms, workflows, and custom apps easier with the goal of bringing everyone closer together.
