June 21 (Reuters) - Alphabet's Google on Tuesday formally filed a complaint to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission saying Microsoft used its dominant position in enterprise software to push customers towards its cloud services, The Information reported on Wednesday.
Microsoft used the licensing terms in its Office 365 productivity software to lock customers into separate contracts with its Azure cloud server business, Google's complaint said, according to the report.
The U.S. cloud computing business is dominated by four providers that include Amazon.com, Microsoft, Google and Oracle.
In March, the FTC had said it is seeking information from the public on the business practices of cloud computing companies, including details on their market power, competition and potential security issues.
Google and Microsoft did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
