Microsoft has agreed to acquire LinkedIn the largest professional network for a whopping $26.2 billion. This makes it ones of the biggest tech acquisitions in the history.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said this acquisition aims to bridge the gap between the Microsoft tools people use to get a job done such as the Office with the tools that helps professionals connect with each other. This opens up a lot of possibilities like you can already connect to the person you’re meeting with. See what they do and if you use Microsoft Dynamics for managing customer relationships, then this gets even better as you have access to the LinkedIn data.
Its exciting to see this merger. Lets see what comes out of this in the coming months.
