Microsoft exec touts ALM platform's value

07.02.2006

So you get all kinds of feedback. And [it's] being able to sort of get a pulse from the people around the world, from customers, and knowing what is hot on their minds. What do they think we are doing well? Where do they think we need to pay more attention? To me that's the most exciting part about blogging.

InfoWorld: I find if you write stuff to just inform people, then nobody responds. If you write something to incite people, then you get lots of responses.

Somasegar: I agree.

InfoWorld: Those are my prepared questions. Is there anything else you wanted to discuss that we haven't already discussed?

Somasegar: Last year I think was a foundational year for us. I think this year, [with] what we have in the market and what we are working on, we are really, really excited about new opportunities for developers and partners. So I want to make sure that that message is loud and clear, that [was the whole theme] for the keynote. In general, I'm happy to be where I am and it's a great set of products and business that we are involved in. It's great to work with developers around the world. So life is good.
