Microsoft is ceasing its operations in Pakistan after 25 years, opting instead to serve customers through resellers and other nearby offices. A company spokesperson confirmed that customer agreements and services will not be impacted by this transition. The closure affects five employees, as Microsoft did not have engineering resources in Pakistan. This move is part of a broader restructuring effort, including a 4% global workforce reduction. Licensing and contract management for Pakistan have shifted to Microsoft's European hub in Ireland, with local partners managing service delivery.
