Kirill Tatarinov: Microsoft's Russian rocket

"Even with somewhere north of $1 billion in annual sales, Microsoft Business Solutions is dwarfed by the enormous Office business that it shares space with in the company's quarterly reports.
But Kirill Tatarinov, the group's leader since July 2007, said MBS brings more to the broader Microsoft than revenue from its Dynamics-branded systems, which manage a company's customer relationships, suppliers, inventory and other business basics.

It provides a 'proof point to business decision makers' using the whole set of Microsoft server technologies, Tatarinov said. The Dynamics products 'take advantage of all the innovation that's happening' on Windows Server, Visual Studio, Office and other major products Microsoft sells to businesses."
