According to Windows Central, these teams are Microsoft&#8217;s Surface Duo OS and Swift Key as well as Phone Link, Microsoft Launcher and Phone Link. This new Android company will go by the name &#8220;Android Microsoft Platform &#038; Experiences&#8221; (or AMPX). <\/p>\n<p>A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed to <i>Windows Central<\/i> the following statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"\u201dblockquote-small\u201d\"><p>We evaluate all aspects of our company on a daily basis, just like every other business. To improve our service to our customers and our partners, we recently underwent an organizational overhaul. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Microsoft has &#8220;big ideas for Android and Windows&#8221; over the coming years. The company hopes to integrate Android and Windows more deeply beyond what&#8217;s already available from Phone Link (formerly Your Phone). As an alternative to Apple&#8217;s iPhone integration with MacOS, Android could be positioned as an extension to Windows. <\/p>\n<p> The reorganization led to new positions. Shilpa Ranganthan is now in a lead role for Windows PM org, who is taking over for Linda Averett, leading a new team that oversees privacy, compliance, and security. Ali Akgun will be leading the new AMPX group, formerly CVP of Surface at Microsoft. Finally, it&#8217;s reported that no layoff resulted from the reorganization. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.windowscentral.com\/microsoft-doubles-down-its-android-and-windows-efforts-latest-reorg\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/01\/microsoft-surface-duo-android-11-update\/-952x498w6\/gsmarena_001.jpg<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/microsoft_shuffles_around_its_key_android_teams-news-53820.php?rand=119<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft shuffles around its key Android teams In an internal memo to Panos Panay, Microsoft&#8217;s Chief Products Officer (CPO), announced earlier this week that it would be reorganizing its Android departments.
