New version of Exchange, SharePoint and Skype for Business

The past couple of weeks have been busy weeks for Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft. It released a new version of SharePoint, it released a new version of Exchange, it released a new version of Skype for Business, and in midst of the entire new-release hubbub, it announced that it is increasing the price of Office perpetual licenses as of October.
But it is not just Office. Microsoft is increasing the price of perpetual licenses for its big enterprise servers by 10 percent too, including Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition, Exchange, SharePoint Server and Project Server.
In addition to this,CALs (client access licenses) required for personal computers to connect to, and access information on, Microsoft's server software, will jump by 10 percent too while RDS per Device CAL (Remote Desktop Service) will climb 30 percent.
There is no real secret as to why Microsoft is doing this. If, over the past couple of years, we have seen Microsoft stress the importance of the cloud in its business model and how it would prefer if people moved to the cloud, this is the first time that it has really used the price-argument.

Facebook Buys Redkix For Workplace

This week saw Facebook buying the Israeli startup Redkix, which provides tools that combine email with a more formal collaboration tool. Redkix will join Facebook’s Workplace, a subscription-based social platform, to help other companies collaborate. Facebook released Workplace back in 2016.
Unsurprisingly, financial details of the deal were not revealed, — although Israeli business magazine Globes, citing sources close to the deal, claims it is about $100 million — but since it set up, Redkix has raised $17 million. Redkix employees, including co-founders Oudi Antebi, CEO, and Roy Antebi, CTO, will join Facebook’s Workplace team. The Redkix app will shut down.
Redkix co-founders Oudi and Roy Antebi said in a blog on the company’s website said that they share the same collaboration values as Facebook. “Bringing people closer together are at the core of Facebook. Workplace brings this mission to enterprises to make them more connected and productive. We're aligned with their vision and excited to work with them to help companies collaborate and get work done.”
The challenge for Workplace by Facebook remains formidable though. Slack said in May that it now has 70,000 paid teams on the platform while Microsoft Teams had about 200,000 organizations using its platform as of March.

DocuSign Buys SpringCM

Staying with acquisitions, San Francisco-based DocuSign, the e-signature and digital transaction management firm, has announced that it is buying Chicago-based SpringCM for $220 million in an all cash deal. SpringCM makes document generation and contract lifecycle management software. DocuSign plans to use SpringCM to broaden its core services beyond e-signature and expand its total addressable market.
With SpringCM, DocuSign plans to provide services for what is known as the "System of Agreement" process, which includes preparing, signing, acting-on, and managing agreements. DocuSign CEO Dan Springer said the company previously collaborated with SpringCM to offer joint customers tools for agreement lifecycle management, but is now looking to move those tools in-house. "We have many more DocuSign customers asking us to provide these capabilities natively as part of our platform. That's why we believe today's announcement makes such great business sense." This is DocuSign's first since acquisition since going public in April.
DocuSign said on Wednesday that five of its 12 directors are resigning and that three new people will be joining the board. They included former GoDaddy CEO Blake Irving, Docker CEO Steve Singh and IBM executive Inhi Cho Suh as directors.
SpringCM raised $25 million of venture capital and appointed a new CEO, Dan Dal Degan. DocuSign, for its part, went public in April.
