Microsoft Romania targets 35% increase in turnover in 2008

“In the past fiscal year we had a 53 percent increase and we are targeting a 30-35 percent increase this year. Our average rhythm in the past 12 years was 50 percent. In a rapidly growing market, such as the Romanian one, we plan to grow faster and boost the market’s evolution,” said General Manager of Microsoft Romania, Silviu Hotaran.

Microsoft launched Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008, three products for the business area that will sustain the advance of the server division of 30 percent in terms of installments.

“The server market is growing 24 percent according to global provider of market intelligence IDC and our evolution is superior to the market’s evolution, which helps us to gain market share. Microsoft owns over 75 percent of the Romanian and global server markets, and we can hope for a market share of over 80 percent in the coming two years,” said Gabriel Nicolaescu, Server and Tools Business Group Microsoft Romania.
