For reasons I won’t get into, I had a chance to peruse the training program for the sales force of Azure and their strategy actually is telling their potential clients that they already subscribe to Office 365 so they might as well use their cloud too.
Yeah, it does not surprise me. The thing that does is how common the approach seems to be in big established tech companies. I mean, it generally never works out (look at IBM, Intel, Sun, and to some degree Apple).
That with a side of suppressing a competitor. Similar to how they include Teams for corporate plans. If it is included in your M$ apps suite, then your company might want to cut back on Slack and just make due.
They are banking on customers being too invested in office to switch.
I think that might be their plan for all their products at this point. Just existing though inertia.

It’s a safe bet. I wonder if enterprise pricing is that high.

MS teams sucks so fucking much, I don’t understand how such a large company can make such a deficient product.
