Market researcher IDC last week downgraded its forecast for global IT spending in 2020 to a 2.7% decline compared with a previous estimate of a 3.6% rise because of the pandemic.Microsoft Azure, which is No. 2 in cloud revenue after Amazon Web Services, saw its sales growth rate slow the most, at 59% in the first three months of the year from 62% in the prior quarter, company data showed.
As much as a fifth of Microsoft’s cloud revenue could face volatility in the coming quarter because of those delays, the company said.
