Software giant Microsoft has announced the purchase of Skype, a company dedicated to VoIP over the Internet. The operation was supported at 8,500 million dollars and was concretized in the day. This is the largest acquisition by Microsoft over its 36 year existence. Skype currently logged 145 million unique monthly users, and most new users are part of new small businesses who want more support on the web. The company currently is headquartered in Luxembourg and apparently Microsoft is preparing a new platform for development.
Thus the Skype service can be combined with Microsoft programs like Outlook to greater integration with corporate users and establish communication not only through text but by voice and video. As one of the great problems of his Messenger which does not provide quality video and voice that has Skype. Also the company can integrate Skype with the Xbox 360 interface for communication between users of this gaming console.
The value despite being very high, not committed to anything Microsoft, the 8,500 million dollars include long-term currency Skype revolves around the $ 686 million two years ago the company had been endorsed by 2,500 million dollars. In 2005 it was bought by eBay for U.S. $ 3,100 million in 2009 eBay sold a majority stake in Skype for a group of investors that include Silver Lake, Canada pension fund Andreessen and Horowitz of 1,900 million dollars in cash and $ 125 million in securities. Ebay retained about a third of the company.
It was necessary to convince investors that the operation was essential to the strategy in the area of mobile and online business. Another issue at hand is to reverse the picture of preconceptions of the company last year closed the Skype balance with $ 7 million of prejudice. The company was controlled by several investors who are also part of ebay and the founders of Skype. Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis. Besides Microsoft Skype was disputed by Google, Facebook, Cisco among others.
In a scenario where the mobility offered by smartphones and tablets covers bands Skype increasing market strategy is to bring back competition to Microsoft. Analysts say that Skype could bring resources online phone operating system Windows Mobile Phone 7, and compete with a great advantage compared to IOS Apple or Google Android. Skype was founded in 2003 and its software was very famous for allowing users to communicate by voice and video for free using an Internet connection.
The option calls for a fee allows the software to mobile devices and phones for different countries which creates a great saving on long distance and international. No doubts now whether after a long time and I can say that Microsoft took a big step, so far the software giant seems to me that had done everything the wrong way. Launching a successful mobile operating system without having a Windows Vista hated by all, and a myriad of problems facing the company.
I think today shows that Microsoft has matured, at least this aspect shows that he knows that success has iOS Android and mobile devices, but also know that Skype is the most successful program or application to these mobile operating systems and that means part. We only hope that both the software and the Skype interface continue to maintain the basic idea of all, that is able to speak clearly and simply with our contacts.
