Microsoft, Oracle Jump Into Blockchain On Same Day -- And Microsoft Is Clear Leader

#CLOUDWARS -- Enterprise-tech heavyweights #Oracle and #Microsoft each jumped into the red-hot market for #blockchain digital technology on the very same day, and one of them looks fully prepared (that would be Microsoft) while the other looks like it's desperately trying to play catchup (that would be Oracle). One of the reasons Microsoft is #1 on my Cloud Wars Top 10 rankings and Oracle is #6 is that Microsoft, under CEO @SatyaNadella, has mastered the ability to articulate its deep technology in the context of business problems and opportunities its customers and prospects are facing. Nadella has become almost unmatched at this ability—only SAP CEO Bill McDermott and Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff can match him—and it's clearly been a huge factor in driving Microsoft's booming cloud business, which Nadella says will reach $20 billion for the 12 months ending June 30, 2018.
