14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has recently announced that its Turkish division has won the “Country of the Year” award offered to one of the 112 company subsidiaries across the world.
Steve Ballmer used the occasion to praise the unit and emphasize that local partners are also playing a key role on the long term for the company as a whole.
“Microsoft Turkey is getting used to being a champion. It is really writing a success story with its 400 employees and more than 11,000 business partners,” Ballmer said. “Our company’s reception of this prize for three times in the last four years shows that Turkey gained speed in informatics technologies,” Tamer Ozmen, general manager of Microsoft Turkey, added.
Microsoft is now getting through a major reorganization, which is supposed to help the company focus more on devices and services and thus turn the famous software giant into an active player in several other market areas, such as hardware and cloud solutions.
