Good marks Microsoft thanks to home workers

For the time being, the corona crisis does not bring financial benefits to the American software giant Microsoft. In the past quarter, the company made a profit of nearly $ 11 billion, or 22 percent more than a year earlier.

Microsoft is mainly benefiting from the increased number of home workers. For example, there was a much greater demand for products such as Teams and Skype, with which people can communicate.

Cloud services were also purchased more. “In a two-month period, there has been a digital transformation that normally takes two years,” said CEO Nadella in an explanation of the figures.

Facebook

Another tech company, Facebook, also seems to take advantage of the fact that many people are at home. The number of active users of the social network has risen to 2.6 billion. That is 10 percent more than last year.

Facebook’s sales and profits have also increased, but due to the uncertain times, CEO Zuckerberg is not venturing to forecast for the coming period. For example, the demand for advertisements has recently declined.
