Microsoft may soon buy mobile apps cloud Appcelerator

Recently, it has been reported that Microsoft may buy mobile application cloud company Appcelerator soon. Microsoft has maintained a different level of dialogue with appcelerator, but the current negotiations have not yet reached the final stage, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The deal could significantly enhance Microsoft's own cloud service, Azure.

Jeff Haynie, co-founder and chief executive of Appcelerator, has yet to comment on the rumours, saying only that his goal is to establish a long-term company.

But is it appropriate for Microsoft to buy Appcelerator's offer? In fact, Appcelerator is also the second company that Heini co-founded with co-founder Loraine Jutte (Nolan Wright). They have sold the first company Vocalocity to another service provider, and the Vocalocity company is still operating.

Perhaps the main reason for Microsoft's rush to buy Appcelerator is as follows:

Appcelerator has produced a mobile application development product called "Titanium", which allows application developers to write applications for smartphone mobile operating systems that include iOS, Android, Windows phone, BlackBerry and HTML5.

After developers have written their apps, Appcelerator will release these applications and track their usage and other relevant data. Because Appcelerator basic services are provided free of charge, the company has been supported by a large number of developers, with a current appcelerator of about 418,731 developer data. Meanwhile, Appcelerator has deployed about 50,208 apps on 111 million smartphones, 111 million equivalent to 10% of the global smartphone. There is no doubt that owning a appcelerator will help Microsoft get a huge developer network and encourage developers to write apps for the WP system.

Heini and Rhett are renowned in the field of application development. Rhett, who worked for Netscape, a Mark Andrewson (Marc Andreessen), a former angel investor and more famous for his work at the Web Apps company JBoss, is now being bought by Red Hat. Red Hat had even held a minority stake in Appcelerator, but sources said the stakes were not enough to prevent Appcelerator from being sold to rival Microsoft.

The source also revealed that Appcelerator was already so popular that Intel paid Appcelerator to support Tizen. Tizen is a smartphone operating system, developed by Intel and Samsung, with major competitors including Android and iOS.

For now, Heini is not rushing to sell Appcelerator because Appcelerator has received a lot of money to support it. So far, Appcelerator has received 50 million of billions of dollars in funding from the wind-burglar company, which is enough to allow Appcelerator to buy four other companies of comparable size.
