What's behind Microsoft's pending reorg?
It's no secret at this point that Microsoft is poised to unveil a sweeping cross-company reorg.
The elements that are unknown about the reorg are still numerous, however. There are conflicting rumors as to when it will be announced and which execs will move into which new roles. Unsurprisingly, Microsoft officials are not commenting at all on what's coming down the pike. I've held off on blogging about the reorg, hoping for more concrete and substantial tips. In their absence, I'll share a few things I have heard.
I'm hearing details of the reorg likely will be public before Microsoft announces its Q4 FY 2013 earnings, which is July 18. Microsoft's annual sales conference, Microsoft Global Exchange (MGX), is July 16-19 this year, so perhaps the Softies will go public with details during that time. I'm hearing Microsoft is unlikely to announce the reorg details next week during its Worldwide Partner Conference in Houston.
