For one, the Microsoft Cloud is poised to get a new infusion from Nuance. Microsoft announced intentions to buy Nuance back in April 2021 for .7 billion. Nuance's business is currently largely healthcare-focused; its speech-recognition technology helps streamline the doctor-patient interaction process. Microsoft officials have said that Nuance's tech would make a good fit for many vertical industries beyond healthcare if and when the deal clears antitrust regulation hurdles (expected in calendar Q1 2022). Maybe that new Dynamics Contact Center bundle would dovetail nicely with Nuance, as well....

首先，微軟云準備從Nuance獲得新注入。微軟早在2021年4月就宣布打算以197億美元收購Nuance。Nuance的業(yè)務目前主要集中在醫(yī)療保健領域，Nuance語音識別技術有助于簡化醫(yī)生和病人的互動過程。微軟官員曾表示，如果交易通過了反壟斷法規(guī)的障礙（預計2022年第一季度有結果），Nuance的技術也將很適合醫(yī)療保健以外的許多垂直行業(yè)。也許新的DynamicsContact Center可以與Nuance很好地對接，以及諸如此類。

Speaking of verticals, I'm expecting Microsoft to turn up the sales pitches for its vertical/industry clouds. These industry clouds are bundles of Microsoft 365/Office 365, Azure, Dynamics 365 and various templates and application programming interfaces tailor-made for vertical markets like healthcare, retail, finance, manufacturing, nonprofits and more.

說到垂直行業(yè)，筆者期待微軟會加大對旗下垂直行業(yè)云的銷售宣傳。這些行業(yè)云是Microsoft 365 Office 365、Azure、Dynamics 365和各種模板以及為醫(yī)療、零售、金融、制造、非營利組織等垂直市場定制的應用編程接口的綁定。

Microsoft watchers who've been at this for a while may remember Microsoft's old "Better Together" campaigns, via which Microsoft tried to convince customers that they'd have the best computing experience if they used a Microsoft-centric stack of products that worked "better together." This is basically what officials are trying to achieve with vertical clouds. Industry-specific bundles also help upsell products like Dynamics 365 and Power Platform that might not be first and foremost in customers' minds when signing licensing deals.

一些關注了這方面一段時間的微軟觀察家可能還記得微軟之前的Better Together（好好在一起）活動，微軟通過這些活動試圖說服客戶，假若他們使用以微軟為中心的產品堆棧就可以好好在一起干活以及能擁有最好的計算體驗。這基本上就是微軟官員試圖通過垂直云實現的目的。特定行業(yè)的捆綁產品也有助于追加銷售Dynamics 365和Power Platform等產品，客戶在簽署許可協(xié)議時這些產品可能并不是他們心中的首要目標。

On the Azure front, Microsoft also will be working to sell customers on the idea that its work in up-and-coming areas like Azure Quantum, Azure for Operators (telco) and Azure Space (for those using satellite imagery and services) -- along with its federal cloud work -- are all interrelated and mutually beneficial. A couple of months ago, Microsoft reorganized (again) its Cloud AI business unit and created a new single Strategic Missions and Technologies Team that is meant to use "learnings" (a favorite Microspeak term these days) from each of those businesses in building digital solutions in the others.

微軟在Azure方面也將努力向客戶推銷旗下在Azure Quantum、Azure for Operators（電信）和Azure Space（用于衛(wèi)星圖像和服務）等新興領域的產品以及旗下的聯(lián)邦云產品，這些都是相互關聯(lián)和互利的。微軟幾個月前重組了（再來了一次）旗下云計算和人工智能業(yè)務部門并創(chuàng)建了一個新的單一戰(zhàn)略任務和技術團隊，該團隊旨在利用這些業(yè)務中的各種學習（這是最近最受歡迎的微言術語）構建其他業(yè)務的數字解決方案。

I'm thinking 2022 might also be when we finally start seeing Microsoft's MetaOS strategy manifest as new 'modern workplace' products and services. Sources said a year ago that Microsoft was working to bring together Microsoft Graph, Microsoft Search and Fluid Framework -- coupled with building blocks that have become core to its Office suites like Whiteboard, Planner, Lists, ToDo -- to create a "MetaOS" platform for work and play. (MetaOS has nothing to do with the metaverse, in case you were wondering, but has everything to do with Teams, Outlook and the rest of Office.)

筆者認為2022年可能也是我們最終開始看到微軟的MetaOS戰(zhàn)略展現到新的現代工作場所產品和服務的一年。有消息曾在一年前稱微軟正在努力將微軟圖譜、微軟搜索和流體框架（加上已經成為旗下Office套件核心的構件，如白板、計劃表、清單、ToDo）結合在起來，創(chuàng)建一個工作和娛樂MetaOS平臺。（讀者或許不知道，MetaOS與metaverse（元宇宙）其實并無關系，MetaOS平臺和Teams、Outlook和Office的其他部分的關系多多。）

AI will undoubtedly be a key and oft-referenced component of Microsoft's MetaOS plans and platform, as it will also be for Azure. Microsoft increasingly has been pushing its take on "AI at Scale." At Microsoft, AI at Scale is meant to provide customers access to large-scale AI models, cognitive services and supercomputing resources, all in the form of Azure services.

人工智能無疑將是微軟MetaOS計劃和平臺的一個關鍵部分，也經常被提到，因為人工智能也將是Azure的組成部分。微軟不斷大力推動自己提出的規(guī)?；斯ぶ悄苷f法。規(guī)?；斯ぶ悄茉谖④浭侵敢訟zure服務的形式提供大規(guī)模人工智能模型、認知服務和超級計算資源的客戶訪問。

And Microsoft will no doubt keep banging the data platforms and services drum in 2022 as another area where officials think it can grow the Microsoft Cloud. Keep an eye on Microsoft President James Phillips' Digital Transformation Platform Group /-- another place where Microsoft will be pushing the full-stack integration story, not just with the aforementioned industry clouds, but also across Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure AI Platform, Azure Data Platform and Azure IoT Platform.

微軟無疑也將在2022年繼續(xù)催谷旗下的數據平臺和服務，微軟官方認為數據平臺和服務是發(fā)展微軟云的另一個領域。微軟總裁James Phillips的數字轉型平臺值得關注，微軟在在這一塊致力推動全棧整合，不僅僅是與前面提到的行業(yè)云的整合，還包括與Dynamics 365、Power Platform、Azure AI Platform、Azure Data Platform和Azure IoT Platform的整合。

"Better together" is back, baby. And Microsoft will be selling the heck out of the concept with its growing family of Microsoft Cloud services in 2022 and beyond.

各位寶寶，好好在一起又回來了。微軟在2022年以及將來一定會通過旗下不斷增長的微軟云服務來推銷這一概念。
