微軟CEO薩提亞·納德拉致員工內部郵件：擁抱未來——智能雲和智能邊緣

北京時間3月29日晚消息，微軟宣布了CEO薩提亞·納德拉（Satya Nadella）2014年上任以來最重大的公司重組計劃，將Windows操作系統分拆後併入兩個新成立的部門「體驗與設備」和「雲與AI」，Windows產品線負責人也將離職。

納德拉也向員工發出題為「擁抱我們的未來：智能雲與智能邊緣」的電子郵件。

以下是納德拉致員工的郵件內容：

諸位，

今天，我宣布成立兩個新的工程技術團隊，以加快我們的創新速度以及更好地服務於我們的客戶和合作夥伴的需求。

在過去的一年裡，我們分享了我們的願景，即智能雲和智能邊緣將如何塑造下一階段的創新。首先，從雲到邊緣，計算正變得更加強大和無處不在。第二，人工智慧的能力正在迅速超越感知和認知，這是由數據和世界知識推動的。第三，物理世界和虛擬世界將融合在一起，創造更豐富的體驗；人們可以更好地了解周圍的人，他們使用的東西，他們去過的地方，他們的各種活動和關係。

這些技術變革為我們的客戶和合作夥伴帶來了巨大的機遇。隨著這些創新技術和機遇的到來，我們有責任確保技術的好處惠及整個社會中更多的人。這還要求我們創建的技術必須被使用他們的個人和組織所信任。

今天宣布的消息讓我們能夠加強這個機遇和我們所有的解決方案領域中的責任。

隨著變革的到來，我們一直在計劃的其中一個過渡措施是讓特里-梅爾森（Terry Myerson）在微軟之外繼續他的下一項工作。特里在幫助我構建這個全新的組織結構方面起到了重要作用，我非常欣賞他的領導能力和洞察力，我們將一起努力，去追逐前方的機遇。在過去的幾年中，特里和WDG團隊改變了Windows，創建了一種安全的、始終保持最新的、現代的操作系統。他為微軟效力了21年之久，從領導Exchange團隊到領導Windows 10，他為我們留下了寶貴的遺產。我想感謝特里對我的團隊和整個微軟的領導。在接下來的幾個月里，他將和我一起工作。

接下來，拉傑什-賈哈（Rajesh Jha）將擴大他現有的職責範圍，帶領一個專註於「體驗與設備」的新團隊。這個團隊的目標是在我們的最終用戶體驗和設備中灌輸統一的產品理念。計算體驗正在進化，它將包括各種感覺，不再局限於某一個設備，而是當我們從家庭走到辦公室以及在出行途中時跨越更多的設備。我們客戶的這些現代化的需求、習慣和期望激勵著我們將Windows、Office和第三方應用程序和設備帶入到一種更有凝聚力的微軟365體驗之中。為了進一步實現這一願景，我們作出了下列領導層調整：

• 設備：帕諾斯-帕奈（Panos Panay）現在將擔任我們的首席產品官，他將引領我們的設備願景，並在我們的第一方設備的硬體和軟體邊界上進一步提升我們的產品理念，同時為整個生態系統創造新的類別和機會。他將是確保端到端設備業務完美執行的關鍵領導。

• Windows：喬-貝爾菲奧利（Joe Belfiore）將繼續引領我們的Windows體驗，並與PC和設備生態系統一起推動Windows創新。Windows的未來是光明的，因為我們將在各種新場景和各種設備上繼續創新，更深入地連接到我們的微軟365產品。他將在Build大會上分享更多有關Windows路線圖的信息。

• 新體驗和技術：庫多-茲諾達（Kudo Tsunoda）將繼續帶領這個團隊來定義我們如何為用戶提供高價值體驗，幫助他們取得更大的成功。
• 企業移動性和管理：布萊德-安德森（Brad Anderson）將繼續領導我們的Windows企業部署和管理工作，與微軟365更緊密地配合，並將與EMS團隊在「雲+人工智慧平台」內緊密合作。

其次，斯科特-格斯里（Scott Guthrie）將擴大其現有的職責範圍，領導一個專註於雲計算與人工智慧平台的新團隊。該團隊專註於從分散式計算結構到AI（基礎設施、框架、工具和更高層次服務）。為了促進新業務的發展，我們對領導團隊進行如下調整：

Azure：傑森-贊德爾（Jason Zander）提升為執行副總裁，領導整個Azure團隊，原Windows平台部門加入Azure團隊。Windows平台已經是Azure的核心組成部分，跨越了雲和網路連接，這一轉變能幫助我們加快構建統一的分散式計算基礎設施和應用程序模型的建立。羅阿訥-索恩斯（Roanne Sones）將繼續領導自己的團隊，與OEM、ODM以及晶元供應商進行技術合作，同時她的團隊也將併入傑森-贊德爾的部門。

• 商業人工智慧：原來由迪普-辛格（Gurdeep Singh）領導的客戶服務、市場營銷和銷售分析團隊都併入詹姆斯-菲利普（James Phillips）的商業應用部門。我很感謝迪普在構建人工智慧解決方案方面的領導能力，這些解決方案將幫助微軟在該領域脫穎而出。未來利用這些研究可以開發基於客戶需求的新產品，並將其主流化。
• 通用商店和商業平台：埃里克-洛克哈德（Eric Lockard）和他的團隊加入雲計算與人工智慧平台團隊，幫助公司進行數字轉換，為業務應用程序不斷添加新功能。
• 人工智慧感知與混合現實：這個新團隊由埃里克斯-凱普曼（Alex Kipman）領導，並且整合所有的願景、混合現實與人工智慧感知業務。該團隊將繼續在Azure基礎上為第三方構建產品與核心雲服務。黃學東（XD Huang）、郭宇亭（音譯）的團隊將加入該部門。埃里克斯負責所有與人工智慧有關領域的指導，並且參與AI+R相關項目中。

• 人工智慧認知服務與平台：埃里克-博伊得（Eric Boyd）將負責這個新團隊，推動我們的人工智慧平台、人工智慧基礎、Azure ML、人工智慧工具和認知服務。約瑟-西洛什（Joseph Sirosh）和他的團隊將併入該部門，埃里克和他的團隊對所有AI+R項目進行指導。

沈向洋（Harry Shum）將繼續領導我們的第三個工程團隊，也就是人工智慧與研究（AI+R），他對我們所有產品團隊所需要的關鍵技術起到至關重要的作用。當我們在兩年前建立了「AI+R」項目時，目標就是加速人工智慧創新從研究向產品的轉化過程。我們今天所做的改變就是一種巨大的進步。

在我們取得技術進步的同時，我們需要確保我們是抱著負責任的態度做到這一點的。為此，哈里和布萊德-史密斯（Brad Smith）建立了微軟的「工程技術與研究中的人工智慧與倫理」（AETHER）委員會，將公司的高層領導集合到一起，專註於積極制定內部政策以及如何以負責任的方式對具體問題作出回應。AETHER將確保我們的人工智慧平台和體驗努力深深紮根在微軟的核心價值觀和原則中，造福於更廣泛的社會。除了其他舉措，我們還將投資各種策略和工具，以檢測和解決人工智慧系統中的偏差和實現GDPR建立的新要求。雖然這裡有很大的機遇，但是確保我們始終為我們的客戶和合作夥伴負責將繼續是我們工作的重要原則。

為了真正從我們的努力中獲得最佳的影響，我們必須推動自身戰勝康威定律（Conways law）。

我們對客戶未得到滿足和未明確的需求有著深刻的認識，這將推動我們的創新。我們不能讓任何組織的界限阻礙我們為客戶作出的創新。這就是為什麼增長型思維文化很重要的原因。我們每個人都需要推動科技能為人類和世界做出的貢獻。不斷學習和成長是需要勇氣的，鼓勵彼此的個人成就，讓我們的團隊更具多樣性和包容性，秉承「一個微軟」的合作精神。我們團結一心時能夠取得令人驚嘆的成就，但我仍然認為，我們才剛剛起步，對於未來可能創造的成就來說，我們還處於早期階段。

我們下周將在問答活動（Q&A）中討論這些變化和未來的重要工作。

Satya Nadella email to employees: Embracing our future: Intelligent Cloud and Intelligent Edge

March 29, 2018 | Microsoft News Center

From: Satya Nadella Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2018 7:29 AM To: Microsoft – All Employees; All MS Store Employees FTE Subject: Embracing our future: Intelligent Cloud and Intelligent Edge

Team,

Today, I』m announcing the formation of two new engineering teams to accelerate our innovation and better serve the needs of our customers and partners long into the future.

Over the past year, we have shared our vision for how the intelligent cloud and intelligent edge will shape the next phase of innovation. First, computing is more powerful and ubiquitous from the cloud to the edge. Second, AI capabilities are rapidly advancing across perception and cognition fueled by data and knowledge of the world. Third, physical and virtual worlds are coming together to create richer experiences that understand the context surrounding people, the things they use, the places they go, and their activities and relationships.

These technological changes represent a tremendous opportunity for our customers, our partners — everyone. With all this new technology and opportunity comes a responsibility to ensure technology』s benefits reach people more broadly across society. It also requires that the technologies we create are trusted by the individuals and organizations that use them.

Today』s announcement enables us to step up to this opportunity and responsibility across all our Solution Areas.

With change comes transition, and one transition we have been planning for is for Terry Myerson to pursue his next chapter outside Microsoft. Terry has been instrumental in helping me arrive at this new organizational structure, and I deeply appreciate his leadership and insight as we』ve worked through the opportunity that lies ahead. Over the past several years, Terry and the WDG team transformed Windows to create a secure, always up-to-date, modern OS. His strong contributions to Microsoft over 21 years from leading Exchange to leading Windows 10 leave a real legacy. I want to thank Terry for his leadership on my team and across Microsoft. He will work with me on the transition over the coming months.

Moving forward, Rajesh Jha will expand his existing responsibilities to lead a new team focused on Experiences & Devices. The purpose of this team is to instill a unifying product ethos across our end-user experiences and devices. Computing experiences are evolving to include multiple senses and are no longer bound to one device at a time but increasingly spanning many as we move from home to work and on the go. These modern needs, habits and expectations of our customers are motivating us to bring Windows, Office, and third-party applications and devices into a more cohesive Microsoft 365 experience. To further this vision, we are making the following leadership changes:

• Devices: Panos Panay will now serve as our Chief Product Officer and will lead our devices vision and further our product ethos across hardware and software boundaries for our first-party devices, while creating new categories and opportunities for the entire ecosystem. He will be the key leader ensuring end-to-end devices business execution excellence.
• Windows: Joe Belfiore will continue leading our Windows experiences and will drive Windows innovation in partnership with the PC and device ecosystem. The future of Windows is bright as we continue to innovate across new scenarios and device form factors, and more deeply connect to our Microsoft 365 offerings. Joe will share more about the Windows roadmap at Build.
• New Experiences and Technology: Kudo Tsunoda will continue to lead this team to define how we engage users with high-value experiences to help them achieve more. Enterprise Mobility and Management: Brad Anderson will continue to lead our Windows
• Enterprise deployment and management efforts with even tighter alignment across Microsoft 365 and will partner closely with the EMS teams within Cloud + AI Platform.

Second, Scott Guthrie will expand his existing responsibilities to lead a new team focused on Cloud + AI Platform. The purpose of this team is to drive platform coherence and compelling value across all layers of the tech stack starting with the distributed computing fabric (cloud and edge) to AI (infrastructure, runtimes, frameworks, tools and higher-level services around perception, knowledge and cognition). To facilitate these new capabilities, we are making the following leadership changes: Azure: Jason Zander is being promoted to executive vice president,

Azure, and will lead this team. The Windows platform team led by Harv Bhela, Henry Sanders and Michael Fortin will join Jason』s team. Windows platform is already a core part of Azure across both the cloud and edge, and this shift will enable us to accelerate our efforts to build a unified distributed computing infrastructure and application model. Roanne Sones will continue to lead our technical engagement with OEMs, ODMs and silicon vendors, and her team will also join Jason』s team.

• Business AI: The Customer Service, Marketing and Sales Insights teams, previously led by Gurdeep Singh Pall, will join James Phillips』 Business Applications Group. I am thankful for Gurdeep』s leadership in building these new AI solutions that are going to help differentiate Microsoft in this area. This is a notable example of taking research breakthroughs to start new product efforts grounded in customer needs and then mainstreaming them.
• Universal Store and Commerce Platform: Eric Lockard and his team will also join the Cloud + AI Platform team to both help with our own digital transformation and add new capabilities to our business application efforts.
• AI Perception & Mixed Reality (MR): Alex Kipman will lead this new team, which brings together all our speech, vision, MR and additional perception capabilities into one team. This team will continue to build first-party products and the core building block cloud services for third parties on Azure. XD Huang, Yu-Ting Kuo and their teams will join this group, as well as Gurdeep』s Ambient Intelligence team. Alex and team will take guidance on all AI-related areas from Harry Shum and work very closely with AI + Research (AI+R).
• AI Cognitive Services & Platform: Eric Boyd will lead this new team and drive our AI Platform, AI Fundamentals, Azure ML, AI Tools and Cognitive Services. Joseph Sirosh and team will join this new group. Eric and team will take guidance on all AI-related areas from Harry Shum and work very closely with AI+R.

Harry Shum will continue to lead our third engineering team, AI + Research, which is instrumental in the key technology advances required across all our product teams. When we established AI+R nearly two years ago, our primary goal was to accelerate the adoption of AI innovations from research into product, and the changes we are making today reflect our strong progress. In fact, just yesterday I spent time at TechFest and came away inspired by all the innovations and most importantly how quickly they were making their way into our products. We will continue to drive investments in AI+R across research and AI breakthroughs that are key to our long-term success.

As we make technological progress we need to ensure that we are doing so responsibly. To this end, Harry and Brad Smith have established Microsoft』s AI and Ethics in Engineering and Research (AETHER) Committee, bringing together senior leaders from across the company to focus on proactive formulation of internal policies and how to respond to specific issues in a responsible way. AETHER will ensure our AI platform and experience efforts are deeply grounded within Microsoft』s core values and principles and benefit the broader society. Among other steps, we are investing in strategies and tools for detecting and addressing bias in AI systems and implementing new requirements established by the GDPR. While there is great opportunity, ensuring we always act responsibly for our customers and partners will continue to be a hallmark of our work.

To truly get the best impact from our efforts, we will have to push ourselves to transcend Conway』s law. Having a deep sense of customers』 unmet and unarticulated needs must drive our innovation. We can』t let any organizational boundaries get in the way of innovation for our customers. This is why a growth mindset culture matters. Each one of us needs to push on what technology can do for people and for our world. It will take courage to keep learning and growing together — encouraging one another』s individual strengths, building more diversity and inclusion across our teams, and collaborating as One Microsoft. It』s amazing what we have been able to accomplish together, and yet I still believe we are in the very early days of what is possible.

We』ll talk more about these changes at the Q&A next week and the important work ahead.
