Software King of the World Microsoft has written a cheque for the cloudy start-up Movere in a bid to boost its cloud migration capabilities.
For those who came in late, Movere is a software-as-a-service platform vendor that was founded in 2008. It is supposed to provide discovery and assessment services to make cloud migrations easier.
Writing in his bog , Microsoft’s Azure Management partner director, Jeremy Winter, said that the deal highlighted the firm’s commitment to Azure.
“We’re committed to providing our customers with a comprehensive experience for migrating existing applications and infrastructure to Azure, which include the right tools, processes, and programmes. As part of that ongoing investment, we’re excited to welcome the leadership, talent, technology, and deep expertise Movere has built-in enabling customers’ journey to the cloud over the last 11 years,” he said.
The deal marks Microsoft’s 11th acquisition of 2019 so far, with its last M&A move coming last month for jClarity – a Java performance tuning tool.
