Microsoft engineering groups
Microsoft engineering groups are the operating divisions of Microsoft. Starting in April 2002, Microsoft organised itself into seven groups, each an independent financial entity.[1] In September 2005, Microsoft announced a reorganization of its then seven groups into three.[2] In July 2013, Microsoft announced another reorganization into five engineering groups and six corporate affairs groups.[3] A year later, in June 2015, Microsoft reformed into three engineering groups.[4] In September 2016, a new group was created to focus on artificial intelligence and research.[5] On March 29, 2018, a new structure merged all of these into three.[6][7]
As of 2023, there are four groups:
- Cloud and Artificial Intelligence (Azure, GitHub, Visual Studio, npm, C#, .NET, TS)
- Experiences and Devices (Windows, Microsoft 365, Outlook, Teams, Bing, Edge, Surface, HoloLens)
- Gaming (Xbox, Xbox Game Studios, ZeniMax Media, Activision Blizzard, Game Pass, Cloud Gaming, Xbox network)
- Technologies and Research (Garage, M12, Microsoft Research)
