"The growth opportunity for what is Office 365 is a lot bigger than anything we’ve achieved, even with our high penetration in the client-server world,” Nadella said.
But Nadella also talked up the company’s potential in the Azure public cloud infrastructure business, where it competes with Google as well as Amazon Web Services.
“We had a good business in our server business, but this business is orders of magnitude bigger than what used to be a successful server business,” he said.
At the same time, Microsoft has also found rising revenue in the sale of cloud-based business intelligence software for charting and analyzing corporate data, with the Power BI product, which competes with Salesforce’s Analytics Cloud and Tableau.
