Microsoft reportedly takes its AI sales targets down a notch.
Multiple sales teams lowered how much salespeople are expected to grow annual sales of Foundry and other AI products, reports The Information, citing sources who called the move “rare.”
Even as its overall cloud business has boomed, the report says that over 80 percent of one US Azure sales team failed to grow Foundry sales by the “ambitious” 50 percent target last year, so in July, the company lowered this year’s goal to 25 percent.
Update: CNBC reports that an unnamed spokesperson denied the report, saying Microsoft has not lowered quotas or targets for its salespeople.
