    我們在 2020 年 12 月授予的 150 億美元授權中目前還有 141 億美元,該授權將持續到 2024 年。

  • The following Q4 targets factor current macroeconomic conditions and typical year-end seasonal strength, including an expected increase in back-to-school spending and year-end enterprise licensing strength: total Adobe revenue of approximately $4.07 billion; Digital Media segment revenue growth of approximately 20% year-over-year; net new Digital Media ARR of approximately $550 million; Digital Experience segment revenue growth of approximately 22% year-over-year; Digital Experience subscription revenue growth of approximately 26% year-over-year; tax rate of approximately 17% on a GAAP basis and 16% on a non-GAAP basis; share count of approximately 480 million shares; GAAP earnings per share of approximately $2.52; and non-GAAP earnings per share of approximately $3.18.

    以下第 4 季度的目標是考慮當前的宏觀經濟狀況和典型的年終季節性強勢,包括返校支出和年終企業許可實力的預期增長:Adobe 總收入約為 40.7 億美元;數字媒體業務收入同比增長約 20%;淨新數字媒體 ARR 約為 5.5 億美元;數字體驗部門收入同比增長約 22%;數字體驗訂閱收入同比增長約 26%; GAAP 稅率約為 17%,非 GAAP 稅率約為 16%;股份數量約為4.8億股; GAAP 每股收益約為 2.52 美元;非 GAAP 每股收益約為 3.18 美元。

  • Given Adobe's year-to-date performance and our Q4 targets, we are clearly on track to exceed our updated annual targets for fiscal 2021 provided in March.

    鑑於 Adobe 年初至今的業績和我們的第四季度目標,我們顯然有望超過 3 月份提供的 2021 財年最新年度目標。

  • With the massive opportunities across creativity, digital documents and customer experience management, we continue to invest and drive strong business results.

    憑藉創意、數字文檔和客戶體驗管理方面的巨大機遇,我們將繼續投資並推動強勁的業務成果。

  • Maybe just can we double-click on the seasonality commentary in the quarter?

    也許我們可以雙擊該季度的季節性評論?

  • Because if we look at the beat versus guidance on kind of net new Digital Media ARR, look, at the same time, you had kind of the weakest beat but then the strongest guide in the last 3 years, which kind of speaks to and confirm some of the seasonality comments that you made.

    因為如果我們看一下淨新數字媒體 ARR 的節拍與指南,同時看,你有一種最弱的節拍,但在過去 3 年裡卻有最強的指南,這說明並證實了您所做的一些季節性評論。

  • But can we just dive in to get a better sense of exactly what drove that for the Creative Cloud business?

    但是,我們能否深入了解究竟是什麼推動了 Creative Cloud 業務的發展?

  • And then separately, what you're seeing in the enterprise adoption, particularly around AEP and on the CDP front that's driving some of the really strong guidance there.

    然後分別地,你在企業採用中看到的,特別是圍繞 AEP 和 CDP 前沿,正在推動那裡的一些非常強大的指導。

  • Happy to do that, Alex.

    很高興這樣做,亞歷克斯。

  • So first, on your DME question as it related to the ARR, overall, we were really pleased.

    首先,關於你的 DME 問題,因為它與 ARR 相關,總的來說,我們真的很高興。

  • And I think it really speaks to the strength of our DDOM and the insights that we get associated with the business.

    我認為這確實說明了我們 DDOM 的實力以及我們從業務中獲得的洞察力。

  • I think going into the quarter, we had expected that -- the consumer with a little bit more return to normalcy, as was happening in the environment.

    我認為進入本季度,我們曾預計 - 消費者會恢復正常,就像環境中發生的那樣。

  • Now this may have been a little prior to the Delta variant that we expected travel to increase and therefore, as a result, as summer seasonality and summer holidays was really sort of a 2-year time off from what they had to do, so as expected, we saw a little bit of less web traffic on that particular front.

    現在這可能比我們預計旅行會增加的 Delta 變體早一點,因此,由於夏季季節性和暑假實際上是他們必須做的事情的 2 年時間,所以不出所料,我們看到該特定方面的網絡流量略有減少。

  • The SMB was a highlight for us.

    SMB 是我們的一大亮點。

  • The SMB, which was impacted a little bit more, we are continuing to see strengths associated with the SMB.

    SMB 受到的影響更大一些,我們繼續看到與 SMB 相關的優勢。

  • And to your point about the guide, I mean, I think our optimism and the relevance of our products and what's happening with digital as a tailwind really leads us to guide, as you pointed out, to $550 million, which would be the largest ever guide that we've given for Q4.

    至於你關於指南的觀點,我的意思是,我認為我們的樂觀情緒和我們產品的相關性以及數字作為順風所發生的事情確實使我們能夠達到 5.5 億美元,正如你指出的那樣,這將是有史以來最大的我們為第四季度提供的指南。

  • And if you take a step back relative to the approximately $1,750 million ARR guide that we had given at the beginning of the year or the $1.8 billion that we've given in March, we're going to exceed easily all of those numbers.

    如果你相對於我們在年初給出的大約 17.5 億美元的 ARR 指南或我們在 3 月份給出的 18 億美元退後一步,我們將輕鬆超過所有這些數字。

  • So as it relates to individual categories, imaging continues to do really well.

    因此,由於它涉及到個別類別,成像繼續做得很好。

  • Video continues to do well.

    視頻繼續表現良好。

  • The Acrobat business, which is reflected both in the Creative Cloud and the Document Cloud, is doing well.

    Creative Cloud 和 Document Cloud 中都體現的 Acrobat 業務表現良好。

  • MAX is going to be exciting.

    MAX 將會令人興奮。

  • So net-net, I would say that the growth prospects for that particular business and the growth drivers remain intact but again, very much in line.

    因此,我想說的是,該特定業務的增長前景和增長動力保持不變,但再次非常一致。

  • And this is what we feel good about the insights that we're getting on the business.

    這就是我們對我們在業務上獲得的見解感到滿意的地方。

  • So that's to answer your question on DME.

    這就是回答你關於 DME 的問題。

  • And again, remember, we have a seasonally strong quarter in Q4 for DME.

    再次記住,DME 在第四季度有一個季節性強勁的季度。

  • The enterprise deals tend to be Q4.

    企業交易往往是第四季度。

  • We also see education start to ramp up in Q4.

    我們還看到教育在第四季度開始增加。

  • So that hopefully gives you some color as to what happened in Q3 and what we expect in Q4.

    因此,希望這能讓您對第三季度發生的事情以及我們對第四季度的預期有所了解。

  • And on the DX side, to your second question, really pleased with what we saw in the adoption of the Adobe Experience Platform and the applications.

    在 DX 方面,對於你的第二個問題,我們對 Adobe Experience Platform 和應用程序的採用感到非常滿意。

  • On top of that, the Adobe Journey Optimizer, the Customer Journey Analytics continue to see strength.

    最重要的是,Adobe Journey Optimizer、Customer Journey Analytics 繼續發揮優勢。

  • I think we're very unique and differentiated in the platform that we have, the real-time nature of what we are doing with personalization.

    我認為我們在我們擁有的平台上非常獨特和與眾不同,我們在個性化方面所做的事情的實時性。

  • And again, there, I think if last year there was a lot of interest in that particular digital transformation and customer experience management, I think people recognize that this needs to be an enterprise spend priority for all of the businesses irrespective of size, which is why both in terms of the Q3 performance as well as the Q4 targets, we continue to think that Digital Experience will also do well.

    再一次,我認為如果去年人們對特定的數字化轉型和客戶體驗管理很感興趣,我認為人們會認識到這需要成為所有企業的企業支出優先事項,無論規模大小,這是為什麼就第三季度業績和第四季度目標而言,我們仍然認為數字體驗也會做得很好。

  • So hopefully, that gives you color on both, Alex.

    所以希望這能讓你對兩者都有所了解,亞歷克斯。

  • Shantanu, I was wondering if you could expand a little bit more on a couple of the bigger Experience Platform wins that you had.

    Shantanu,我想知道你是否可以在你獲得的幾個更大的 Experience Platform 勝利上再擴展一點。

  • Were these existing customers competitive?

    這些現有客戶是否具有競爭力?

  • And I guess if you had to step back, what's helping you all win these kind of larger deals?

    我想如果你不得不退後一步,是什麼幫助你們贏得了這些更大的交易?

  • I was also impressed with 80% of your clients seem to be using some of the AI-powered capabilities, which seem to be really high uptake rate or take rate.

    80% 的客戶似乎都在使用一些 AI 支持的功能,這給我留下了深刻的印象,這些功能的採用率或採用率似乎非常高。

  • So just kind of curious if you can expand on some of these larger enterprise -- Experience Platform deals you had this quarter.

    所以有點好奇,如果你能擴展這些更大的企業中的一些——你本季度的體驗平台交易。

  • Shantanu Narayen - Chairman, President & CEO

    Shantanu Narayen - Chairman, President & CEO

  • Sure, Kirk.

    當然,柯克。

  • And at the end of the day, I think the macro trend that everybody is finding is that a digital presence and commerce and data and insights and analytics is absolutely sort of table stakes for anybody doing business.

    歸根結底,我認為每個人都發現的宏觀趨勢是數字存在、商業、數據、洞察力和分析絕對是任何做生意的人的籌碼。

  • And so I think everybody started with a website.

    所以我認為每個人都是從網站開始的。

  • Everybody started with the analytics.

    每個人都從分析開始。

  • But I think where we've delivered the Adobe Experience Platform and what we are talking about our personalization, I think that's a key differentiator.

    但我認為我們交付 Adobe Experience Platform 的地方以及我們談論的個性化,我認為這是一個關鍵的差異化因素。

  • And whether you're a B2B company or a B2C company, you just have to invest in this particular business.

    而且無論您是 B2B 公司還是 B2C 公司,您只需投資於這一特定業務即可。

  • And I think the team has done a particularly good job, both of messaging in different industries.

    而且我認為該團隊在不同行業的消息傳遞方面做得特別好。

  • The health care industry, for example, continues to do well, and there's more interest associated with that.

    例如,醫療保健行業繼續表現良好,人們對此產生了更多興趣。

  • The consumer businesses are starting to see a little bit of a comeback as there's a little bit more normalcy.

    消費者業務開始看到一點點捲土重來,因為有更多的常態。

  • And so a lot of them, we're going after existing customers.

    所以他們中的很多人,我們正在尋找現有客戶。

  • We're going after new logos and selling more.

    我們追求新標誌並銷售更多產品。

  • But I would say it's the strength of the Experience Platform, the ability to have these profiles, the behavioral data that we're collecting in real time, the marketing message associated with telling them that they really need to focus on getting their first-party data to be an asset that they could put on their balance sheet and the nature of what's happening with digital commerce.

    但我想說這是體驗平台的優勢,擁有這些配置文件的能力,我們實時收集的行為數據,與告訴他們他們真的需要專注於獲得他們的第一方相關的營銷信息數據成為他們可以放在資產負債表上的資產,以及數字商務正在發生的事情的性質。

  • I think all of those are trends.

    我認為所有這些都是趨勢。

  • And then we win the deals because of the strength of our offering and the fact that we're really pure-play marketing that is significantly differentiated relative to anybody else.

    然後我們贏得了交易,因為我們提供的產品的實力以及我們真正的純粹營銷相對於其他任何人都有顯著差異的事實。

  • It's a great question, Gregg.

    這是一個很好的問題,格雷格。

  • And maybe as I had responded to Kirk as well, I should have talked about the big thing that we're hearing from our customers in that space, Gregg, is they have more and more campaigns.

    也許正如我對柯克的回應一樣,我應該談談我們從那個領域的客戶那裡聽到的一件大事,格雷格,他們有越來越多的活動。

  • They want to do agility of the campaigns.

    他們想做活動的敏捷性。

  • These are global.

    這些是全球性的。

  • And how do they not only have an integrated suite of products but how do they get the workflow to be more efficient, especially as you're all working in a hybrid or working from home environment?

    他們如何不僅擁有一套集成的產品,而且如何使工作流程更有效率,尤其是當你們都在混合環境中工作或在家工作時?

  • So Workfront is definitely helping us.

    所以 Workfront 肯定在幫助我們。

  • It's helping us with existing customers.

    它幫助我們與現有客戶打交道。

  • It's helping us with deal sizes.

    它幫助我們處理交易規模。

  • And in many ways, it's the glue both to enable -- if you have people, technology and processes, it's helping with the processes part.

    在很多方面,它是兩者的粘合劑——如果你有人員、技術和流程,它就會幫助流程部分。

  • But the promise of what we've also said there in terms of this pioneering marketing system of record, that's another area for the interest.

    但是,我們在這種開創性的營銷記錄系統方面也說過的話,這是另一個令人感興趣的領域。

  • And I think this was always a great company.

    我認為這一直是一家偉大的公司。

  • I think they were looking to become more general purpose.

    我認為他們希望變得更加通用。

  • I think what Anil and the team has done of really focusing on marketing workflows and solving it for all of the different personas, that's definitely resonating.

    我認為 Anil 和團隊所做的真正專注於營銷工作流程並為所有不同的角色解決它,這肯定會引起共鳴。

  • But all of the large deals that we do, Workfront is definitely a part of the interest and a part of the bill of materials associated with that.

  • We've definitely heard really good things about Workfront getting into a lot of deals upfront.

    我們肯定聽說過關於 Workfront 提前達成大量交易的好消息。

  • Perhaps can you characterize sort of the performance of Workfront versus your expectations and kind of the contribution you're seeing in the quarter?

    也許你能描述一下 Workfront 的表現與你的期望以及你在本季度看到的貢獻的類型嗎?

  • Secondarily, with Frame.io, just for clarification, is that in the forward ARR guide?

    其次,對於 Frame.io,只是為了澄清,是在前向 ARR 指南中嗎?

  • Is that included in the $550 million for Q4?

    這是否包括在第四季度的 5.5 億美元中?

  • And then perhaps more broadly, just on M&A strategy.

    然後也許更廣泛地說,只是關於併購戰略。

  • The last 2 big deals seem to have a common thread in terms of collaboration.

    最後兩筆大交易似乎在協作方面有共同點。

  • Is that just a sell-side analyst putting together 2 data points and draw on the trend line?

    這只是賣方分析師將 2 個數據點放在一起並繪製趨勢線嗎?

  • Or is that sort of a particular area of focus for Adobe in terms of adding to the portfolio on a go-forward basis?

    還是說 Adobe 在未來的基礎上添加到產品組合中是一個特定的重點領域?

  • Shantanu Narayen - Chairman, President & CEO

    Shantanu Narayen - Chairman, President & CEO

  • So Keith, I actually think there were 3 questions in that.

    所以基思,我實際上認為其中有 3 個問題。

  • So let me parse each one of them.

    因此,讓我解析它們中的每一個。

  • First, I think as it relates to Workfront, we're very clearly targeting a need that exists.

    首先,我認為與 Workfront 相關,我們非常明確地針對存在的需求。

  • And we had originally, I think, said something like Workfront would do $140 million or $150 million in revenue for FY '21.

    我認為,我們最初說過,像 Workfront 這樣的公司將為 21 財年帶來 1.4 億美元或 1.5 億美元的收入。

  • And then I think we've said that it's on track to significantly beat that, and that continues to be the case.

    然後我認為我們已經說過它有望大大擊敗它,而且情況仍然如此。

  • As we do these larger deals, Keith, we don't break out Workfront.

    當我們做這些更大的交易時,基思,我們不會打破 Workfront。

  • And so that's the way we think about the business.

    這就是我們思考業務的方式。

  • But Workfront is definitely appealing to that.

    但 Workfront 絕對對此很有吸引力。

  • Your second question as it relates to Frame.io, no, it is not in the ARR guide.

    你的第二個問題與 Frame.io 相關,不,它不在 ARR 指南中。

  • I mean clearly, until we close the deal, we would not.

    我的意思是,在我們完成交易之前,我們不會。

  • And so when that happens -- as we said, we expect that to happen in Q4.

    因此,當這種情況發生時——正如我們所說,我們預計這將在第四季度發生。

  • We'll certainly update you on what that happens as it relates to Frame, but we're excited about that.

    我們一定會向您通報與 Frame 相關的最新情況,但我們對此感到非常興奮。

  • And your third question as it relates to collaboration as a team, it's part of what we've been talking about for a while.

    你的第三個問題與團隊協作有關,這是我們一段時間以來一直在討論的內容的一部分。

  • If you remember, what we've done with XD in terms of being able to do live editing, I think what we've done with the multi-surface applications where our applications run on mobile devices or iPads or tablets as well as desktops, it's just one of those themes that people are working from different locations.

    如果您還記得,我們在能夠進行實時編輯方面使用 XD 所做的事情,我想我們在移動設備或 iPad 或平板電腦以及台式機上運行的多表面應用程序所做的事情,這只是人們在不同地點工作的主題之一。

  • People are increasingly working with people.

    人們越來越多地與人合作。

  • And so I think we have the ability to really provide value for our existing customers and attract new customers.

    因此,我認為我們有能力真正為現有客戶提供價值並吸引新客戶。

  • I think with Frame, in particular, we're excited because it expands dramatically the potential of the number of people who will become participants in the video workflow.

    我認為對於 Frame,我們尤其感到興奮,因為它極大地擴展了將成為視頻工作流程參與者的人數的潛力。

  • And if they become -- I hope you like the videos that we played at the beginning of the earnings call.

    如果他們成為 - 我希望你喜歡我們在財報電話會議開始時播放的視頻。

  • And it's -- all of that stuff is being done remotely.

    而且它 - 所有這些東西都是遠程完成的。

  • And so we're pleased.

    所以我們很高興。

  • And as you know, we're always thoughtful, Keith, about the acquisitions and making sure it's a case where we can bring significant value both to our shareholders and to our customers.

    正如你所知,基思,我們總是對收購深思熟慮,並確保在這種情況下我們可以為我們的股東和客戶帶來重大價值。

  • On margin, the year-to-date margins are now above 46%.

    在利潤率方面,年初至今的利潤率現在超過 46%。

  • I think you previously referenced potential for more of a second half step down there.

    我認為你之前提到了下半場更多的潛力。

  • So just how should we think about the margin profile here?

    那麼我們應該如何考慮這裡的利潤率呢?

  • And are there benefits you'd point to that, that could normalize assuming more of a return to normal?

    您是否指出了可以正常化的好處,假設更多的恢復正常?

    是啊,那樣最好了。

  • Yes, you're right, the margins at 46% this quarter.

    是的,你沒看錯,本季度的利潤率為 46%。

  • We had indicated that with the more of a reopening across different regions, we would start to see our facilities come online, our business travel come back and certainly continue our hiring ramp.

    我們曾表示,隨著不同地區更多的重新開放,我們將開始看到我們的設施上線,我們的商務旅行回來,當然我們的招聘人數也會繼續增加。

  • The Delta variant probably slowed that down a little bit, and so that contributed to the margin expansion you saw in Q3.

    Delta 變體可能會稍微放慢速度,因此這有助於您在第三季度看到的利潤率擴張。

  • But overall, it was an outstanding quarter for all of our businesses.

    但總的來說,對於我們所有的業務來說,這是一個出色的季度。

  • And what we've said is the long road, the path to margin expansion is really to revenue growth given the leverage in our model.

    我們所說的是一條漫長的道路,考慮到我們模型中的槓桿作用,利潤率擴張的道路實際上是收入增長。

  • And after the contributions from the revenue performance in the quarter, continued expense savings that I just talked about, that contributed overall to the performance.

    在本季度的收入表現做出貢獻之後,我剛才談到的持續費用節省對整體表現做出了貢獻。

  • But we expect those expenses to come back in a phased reentry now, maybe a little slower than we originally thought when we talked about the second half.

    但我們預計這些費用現在會分階段回歸,可能比我們最初談論下半年時想的要慢一點。

  • But that being said, when I think about our original targets in December, it implied margin expansion.

    但話雖這麼說,當我想到我們 12 月份的最初目標時,這意味著利潤率擴張。

  • When we did our updated targets in Q1, it was even larger margin expansion from what we saw.

    當我們在第一季度完成更新後的目標時,我們看到的利潤率增長幅度更大。

  • But we're executing against these huge market opportunities, and we'll continue to do that with an eye on continued top line growth, such as area that Shantanu touched on, which is 3D and immersive Adobe Experience Platform, Sign and Stock mobile, all of that.

    但我們正在執行這些巨大的市場機會,我們將繼續這樣做,著眼於持續的收入增長,例如 Shantanu 觸及的領域,即 3D 和沈浸式 Adobe 體驗平台、Sign 和 Stock 移動設備,所有的。

  • Well said, John.

    說得好,約翰。

  • And maybe the only other thing I would add is that certainly, I think when you look at some of the T&E or facilities expenses, it's a little artificial in terms of what's happening on expenses.

    也許我要補充的唯一一件事是,我認為當你查看一些 T&E 或設施費用時,就費用發生的情況而言,它有點人為。

  • But our big position is when you have a $100-plus billion addressable market, I think driving profitable growth is where we are focused on, which is why I think John also referred to we continue to be in the market to hire talent to make sure that we can continue to address all the market opportunities that we have.

    但我們的主要立場是當你擁有 100 多億美元的潛在市場時,我認為推動盈利增長是我們關注的重點,這就是為什麼我認為約翰還提到我們繼續在市場上聘請人才以確保我們可以繼續抓住我們擁有的所有市場機會。

  • And so we're focused on driving profitable growth.

    Shantanu,首先是你,我相信你還記得過去幾年,特別是在像 MAX 這樣的會議上,我們討論了很多方面的整合,數字媒體和 DX 之間的獨特整合商業。

  • And you'll recall it's gone by a certain acronym over time.

    隨著時間的推移,您會記得它已經用某個首字母縮略詞消失了。

  • The question is, can you quantify or in some way describe the business effect of that combination, even going back to the old DPS days of how this mutuality does in fact help you drive business through the integration across the 2 segments?

    問題是,您能否量化或以某種方式描述該組合的業務效果,甚至可以追溯到舊的 DPS 時代,這種相互關係實際上如何幫助您通過跨 2 個部門的集成來推動業務?

  • Relatedly, with regard to DX specifically, you'll recall that over the last number of years, the company has often referred to you're having about 4 dozen or so use cases that you were targeting for DX.

    相關地,特別是關於 DX,你會記得在過去的幾年裡,公司經常提到你有大約 4 打左右的用例,你的目標是 DX。

  • Because so much of the Acrobat business is reflected both in Creative Cloud and Document Cloud.

    因為 Acrobat 的大部分業務都反映在 Creative Cloud 和 Document Cloud 中。

  • And so that's one very tangible example of how we've integrated the clouds.

    因此,這是我們如何整合雲的一個非常具體的例子。

  • I think taking a step back, the area that I would say is of the most interest to customers right now is what we have referred to in the past also as content velocity, which is people are creating more digital assets.

    我想退後一步,我想說的是客戶現在最感興趣的領域是我們過去也提到的內容速度,即人們正在創造更多的數字資產。

  • They're spending more on content and how they both ensure that all of that content seamlessly is distributed, whether it's a marketing campaign, whether it's something that goes on a mobile application, whether it's something that goes on the website.

    他們在內容上花費更多,以及他們如何確保所有內容無縫分發,無論是營銷活動、移動應用程序上的內容,還是網站上的內容。

  • And so I think that's the hard problem that we've been able to help facilitate for our customers, which is creating all of this content and making sure that it's -- the delivery is accelerated through marketing campaigns is an area of real integration between DME as well as DX.

    因此,我認為這是我們能夠幫助客戶解決的難題,即創建所有這些內容並確保它是——通過營銷活動加速交付是 DME 之間真正整合的一個領域以及DX。

  • And where that shows up also in the revenue is the continued growth of AEM and AEM assets specifically because that's where the assets are really flowing between these 2 solutions.

    這也體現在收入中的是 AEM 和 AEM 資產的持續增長,特別是因為這是資產在這兩個解決方案之間真正流動的地方。

  • So hopefully, that gives you a little bit of the flavor.

    所以希望這能給你一點味道。

  • I think to the earlier questions that Gregg and others and Kirk had asked, I mean it's also on the workflow.

    我想對於 Gregg 和其他人以及 Kirk 之前提出的問題,我的意思是它也在工作流程中。

  • That's when people are looking at it and saying, "Wow, if my freelancers have created content, how is that now being reflected in the DX?" So that's what I would answer your first question.

    那時人們會看著它說,“哇,如果我的自由職業者創造了內容,那現在如何在 DX 中反映出來?”這就是我要回答你的第一個問題。

  • I think as it relates to the DX use cases, and we should certainly do an update, it's increased very dramatically.

    我認為,因為它與 DX 用例有關,我們當然應該進行更新,它的增加非常顯著。

  • And the ones that I would say maybe as a highlight is the B2B use cases, the number of large B2B companies that are coming to us and saying, "Hey, we recognize that whether it's for lead generation, whether it's for identification of customers, whether it's for even doing commerce, that's been a fairly big driver." I would say regulated industries, which is the original push around customer experience management was B2C and consumer-based companies, now I think you're seeing way more of those workflows and use cases in regulated industries.

    我想說的可能是 B2B 用例,許多大型 B2B 公司來找我們說,“嘿,我們認識到,無論是為了產生潛在客戶,還是為了識別客戶,無論是為了商業,這都是一個相當大的驅動力。”我想說的是受監管的行業,最初推動客戶體驗管理的是 B2C 和基於消費者的公司,現在我認為你在受監管的行業中看到了更多的工作流程和用例。

  • So that's another one that I would do.

    所以這是我會做的另一個。

  • I would say the global aspect of this, which is you have companies, whether you're an automotive company or you're a fast food company and you want to do this globally, I think that's a use case that we've seen a fairly dramatic increase.

    我想說的是全球方面,你有公司,無論你是汽車公司還是快餐公司,你想在全球範圍內做這件事,我認為這是一個我們已經看到的用例相當顯著的增長。

  • But -- so hopefully, that gives you one.

    但是——希望如此,這給了你一個。

  • And then this is where the partner ecosystem, candidly, also is driving so much more.

    坦率地說,這就是合作夥伴生態系統也在推動更多的地方。

  • And so the partner ecosystem is also building a lot of their value-added solutions on top of our horizontal platform.

    因此,合作夥伴生態系統也在我們的水平平台之上構建了許多增值解決方案。

  • So net, I would say it doesn't matter what business you are, what size you are.

    所以淨,我會說你是什麼企業,你有多大並不重要。

  • Part of DX is relevant to what you need to do in order to engage with your customers.

    DX 的一部分與您為與客戶互動而需要做的事情相關。

  • I was wondering if you could just talk about seasonality in the Document Cloud business specifically.

    我想知道您是否可以具體談談 Document Cloud 業務的季節性。

  • I think the net new ARR there has historically sort of been up and to the right kind of through the year.

    我認為從歷史上看,那裡的淨新 ARR 在過去一年中一直在上升並達到正確的水平。

  • I guess the question is, are we getting to a point in that business where the seasonality could start to look a little bit more like Creative?

    我想問題是,我們是否已經到了季節性可能開始看起來更像創意的地步?

  • Or are there any things to maybe consider for Document Cloud ARR seasonality this quarter?

    或者對於本季度的 Document Cloud ARR 季節性,有什麼需要考慮的事情嗎?

  • John F. Murphy - Executive VP & CFO

    John F. Murphy - Executive VP & CFO

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • I think when we think about the situation we've been in, in the pandemic and the need for more paper-to-digital transformation that's impacting not just enterprises and institutions that have -- obviously we've seen great growth in but individuals as well as they're engaging with the services that they use, as we said, I think when you look at the individual offerings that we have across Creative and Document Cloud, we just saw a little bit lower traffic there, but that's associated with, we believe, with individuals enjoying their holidays.

    我認為,當我們考慮我們所處的情況時,在大流行中以及對更多紙質到數字化轉型的需求影響的不僅僅是企業和機構——顯然我們已經看到了巨大的增長,但個人也是如此正如我們所說,他們正在使用他們使用的服務,我認為當您查看我們在 Creative Cloud 和 Document Cloud 中提供的個別產品時,我們只是看到那裡的流量略有下降,但這與,我們相信,每個人都在享受他們的假期。

  • And it's pretty indicative using our own Adobe Digital Index data that showed that June and July were the highest travel months in 2 years.

    使用我們自己的 Adobe Digital Index 數據顯示 6 月和 7 月是 2 年來旅行量最高的月份,這非常具有指示性。

  • So I think that seasonality is hitting it a little bit.

    所以我認為季節性影響了一點。

  • But again, we've got such a strong presence in both institutions, educational, government and enterprises on Document Cloud that we still see great growth and strength.

    但同樣,我們在 Document Cloud 的機構、教育、政府和企業中擁有如此強大的影響力,我們仍然看到了巨大的增長和實力。

  • And it's demonstrated in just the continued growth of that business, which is our fastest-growing business right now.

    這在該業務的持續增長中得到了證明,這是我們目前增長最快的業務。

    肯,這對我們來說是一個非常重要的擴張領域。

  • I mean I think the Creative has always been a segment that looks to us to deliver mission-critical products that enable them to make a livelihood.

    我的意思是,我認為創意一直是一個期待我們提供使他們能夠謀生的關鍵任務產品的細分市場。

  • But the halo effect of that when you look at what we talk about at our analyst meetings and how big our communicator business already is as well as the outreach of that even into the consumer business.

    但是,當你看看我們在分析師會議上談論的內容以及我們的通信業務已經有多大,以及它甚至擴展到消費者業務時,就會產生光環效應。

  • But stay tuned on that front, I think, as we talk about our product road map and the excitement that we have to fulfill this vision of creativity for all and target a broader and broader and broader set of customers with some great solutions using our artificial intelligence and Sensei technology.

    但我認為,請繼續關注這方面,因為我們談論我們的產品路線圖,以及我們必須實現這一所有人的創造力願景並通過使用我們的人工智能的一些偉大解決方案瞄準越來越廣泛和更廣泛的客戶群的興奮智能和 Sensei 技術。

  • We have some very exciting things underway that will start to be served to customers.

    我們正在進行一些非常令人興奮的事情,這些事情將開始為客戶提供服務。

  • So very excited about that opportunity.

    對這個機會感到非常興奮。

  • It's a big opportunity.

    這是一個很大的機會。

  • It's already a big business for us.

    這對我們來說已經是一項大生意了。

  • I mean when we talk about the fact that we're adding over $0.5 billion of net new ARR as our expectation for Q4, a significant portion of that is also going to what you would call communicators or prosumers.

    我的意思是,當我們談論我們將增加超過 5 億美元的淨新 ARR 作為我們對第四季度的預期時,其中很大一部分也將用於您所謂的傳播者或生產者。

  • And we're going to be delivering more and more really phenomenal products targeted at that customer segment.

  • And I'm curious to get your thoughts on the total available market that is new and incremental to Adobe's Creative business as a result of the acquisition that you made of Frame.

    我很想知道您對收購 Frame 後 Adobe 創意業務的新增量市場的看法。

  • And particularly, you used the word dramatically expands the scope of what you can do, meaning collaborators in addition to content creators.

    特別是,您使用的這個詞極大地擴展了您可以做的事情的範圍,這意味著除了內容創建者之外的合作者。

  • Can you just talk about what you meant by that?

    你能談談你的意思嗎?

  • If you could just put a finer point.

    如果你能說得更細一點。

  • Does this mean that the Creative TAM will be larger than what Wall Street thinks, which has always been the case for the past 10 years or so?

    這是否意味著 Creative TAM 將比華爾街認為的更大,過去 10 年左右一直如此?

  • And secondly, not that it's a negative, but with the seasonal pattern in summer, showing some sign of activity where people went on vacations, et cetera, is there at all any risk that digital transformation takes a bit of a back seat as we go shopping not online but go to stores, therefore, e-commerce activity might actually slow down a little?

    其次,這並不是消極的,而是夏季的季節性模式,顯示出人們去度假等活動的一些跡象,數字化轉型是否存在任何風險,在我們前進的過程中退居二線不是在線購物而是去商店購物,因此,電子商務活動實際上可能會放緩一點?

  • But the secular trend is still pretty solid.

    但長期趨勢仍然相當穩固。

  • In terms of adjustment, are we in for some adjustment?

    在調整方面,我們是不是要進行一些調整?

  • Or maybe not, but I just want to get your thoughts on that.

    也許不是,但我只是想听聽你的想法。

  • Shantanu Narayen - Chairman, President & CEO

    Shantanu Narayen - Chairman, President & CEO

  • Thanks, Kash.

    謝謝,卡什。

  • I mean as it relates to your first question around video, I think we've been signaling for a while that video is really one of the exciting expansion opportunities for us, and that's really played out.

    我的意思是,因為它與您關於視頻的第一個問題有關,我認為我們已經發出信號一段時間了,視頻確實是我們令人興奮的擴展機會之一,而且確實發揮了作用。

  • It's played out from the products that we've delivered, Premiere and After Effects continuing to be the leaders in that category, certainly Photoshop and Illustrator used a lot.

    從我們交付的產品中可以看出,Premiere 和 After Effects 繼續成為該類別的領導者,當然 Photoshop 和 Illustrator 使用了很多。

  • But if you look at what's happening with all these streaming+ services, right, I mean, there isn't a company that isn't delivering a streaming+ service.

    但是如果你看看所有這些流媒體+服務正在發生什麼,我的意思是,沒有一家公司不提供流媒體+服務。

  • And so I think the insatiable demand for video among consumers is only requiring more and more companies to have these streaming services and deliver more genre as it relates to video.

    因此,我認為消費者對視頻的永無止境的需求只會要求越來越多的公司擁有這些流媒體服務並提供更多與視頻相關的類型。

  • All of that work right now -- I mean we talked a little bit of what we are doing as a partnership with Netflix as well.

    現在所有這些工作——我的意思是我們也談了一些我們作為與 Netflix 的合作夥伴關係正在做的事情。

  • I mean all of that is happening now with people in different locations through a collaborative process.

    我的意思是,所有這一切現在都在通過協作過程與不同地點的人們一起發生。

  • So any time you can take a Creative idea and make that happen quicker, faster to the right audience, that's only going to be incredibly valuable to our customers.

    因此,任何時候您都可以採用創意並使其更快、更快地呈現給合適的受眾,這對我們的客戶來說只會非常有價值。

  • And so I think that trend is only going to continue.

    所以我認為這種趨勢只會繼續下去。

  • And so we feel really good about what's happening in that particular space with video frame.

    因此,我們對在視頻幀的特定空間中發生的事情感到非常滿意。

  • We used to use Frame a bunch in the production of our own videos.

    我們曾經在製作自己的視頻時大量使用 Frame。

  • And it's been exciting as we've talked to different people who after the acquisition of Frame, have come and said, "Hey, Adobe, that's such a great product, but we think we can do more with it." So I think that gives us a lot of optimism around whether it's the script writer, whether it's the reviewer of that, whether it's the creative agency, just being able to -- or all the corporate videos that's being done.

    令人興奮的是,我們與不同的人交談過,他們在收購 Frame 後說,“嘿,Adobe,這是一個非常棒的產品,但我們認為我們可以用它做更多的事情。”因此,我認為這讓我們對是否是編劇、審稿人、創意機構、是否能夠——或所有正在製作的公司視頻感到樂觀。

  • And so certainly, I think as you add that as an enterprise product as well, you can certainly get a lot more TAM associated with it.

    所以當然,我認為當你將其添加為企業產品時,你肯定可以獲得更多與之相關的 TAM。

  • We will update our TAMs, Kash, as we typically do.

    我們將像往常一樣更新我們的 TAM,Kash。

  • I think Jonathan referred -- or we'll talk about how we do our Q4 as well as our 2022, and we'll talk to you about TAMs on that front.

    我認為 Jonathan 提到了——或者我們將討論我們如何做我們的第四季度以及我們的 2022 年,我們將與您討論這方面的 TAM。

  • But really excited about that.

    但真的很興奮。

  • I think the external partnerships that exist for Frame and how it's plugged in not just to the Adobe solutions but other solutions is also an area of strength.

    我認為 Frame 存在的外部合作夥伴關係以及它如何不僅插入 Adobe 解決方案而且插入其他解決方案也是一個優勢領域。

  • And I think to your second question around shopping and online, when we look at our DX business and the success that we had in Q3, I mean, a big part of that is more and more companies are certainly doing the multichannel, omnichannel, whatever they want to call it.

    我想關於你關於購物和在線的第二個問題,當我們審視我們的 DX 業務和我們在第三季度取得的成功時,我的意思是,其中很大一部分是越來越多的公司肯定在做多渠道、全渠道,無論什麼他們想稱呼它。

  • And I think that's only going to continue to be a driver of our Digital Experience solutions because today, that's table stakes.

    而且我認為這只會繼續成為我們數字體驗解決方案的驅動力,因為今天,這是賭注。

  • And so we just look at it and say, whether you're shopping in store or whether you're shopping online, you need a solution that treats you like a customer that we know of.

    因此,我們只是看著它說,無論您是在商店購物還是在線購物,您都需要一個解決方案,讓您像我們所知道的客戶一樣對待。

  • And so I think that's going to only be an imperative for companies.

    所以我認為這對公司來說只是當務之急。

  • I mean one thing we should have probably talked about also is if you look at our Q3 results, I mean, they were stronger than what we had said.

    我的意思是,如果你看看我們第三季度的結果,我們可能應該討論的一件事就是,它們比我們所說的要強。

  • There were a couple of nonrecurring items as part of that.

    其中有幾個非經常性項目。

  • And some of that actually had to do with usage in commerce.

    其中一些實際上與商業中的使用有關。

  • And so we are seeing that usage also ramp up.

    因此,我們看到使用量也在增加。

  • So I just wanted to get that also out there as we talk about the shopping online and shopping in a store.

    所以我只是想在我們談論網上購物和商店購物時也把它說出來。

  • And in terms of the demand for our DME solutions, we expect, as we said, the seasonal Q4 will be the strength.

    就對我們的 DME 解決方案的需求而言,正如我們所說,我們預計季節性的第四季度將成為強項。

  • And as education comes back and there's more and more end-of-quarter activity not just within Adobe but all companies, that's going to lead to increased demand and acceleration.

    隨著教育的回歸,不僅在 Adobe 內部而且所有公司都有越來越多的季度末活動,這將導致需求增加和加速。

  • John, I wanted to come back to the Document Cloud business because it looks perhaps to me that there was some outsized strength from licensed products that may have been in lieu of revenue coming from ARR products.

    約翰,我想回到 Document Cloud 業務,因為在我看來,許可產品可能會帶來一些巨大的優勢,這些優勢可能已經取代了來自 ARR 產品的收入。

  • And I think you can see this with total Document Cloud revenue growth actually accelerating even though total ARR growth decelerated.

    我認為你可以看到這一點,儘管總 ARR 增長放緩,但 Document Cloud 總收入實際上在加速增長。

  • So is that the right assessment?

    那麼這是正確的評估嗎?

  • And should we be looking at total revenue, not ARR?

    我們應該關注總收入,而不是 ARR 嗎?

  • And I guess -- and so is there any reason for a mix shift towards more licensed products?

    我想——那麼是否有任何理由向更多許可產品的組合轉變?

    不,我的意思是我們——嗯,當然,我認為你會看到 ELA 的實力,正如我和 Shantanu 在第四季度談到的那樣。

  • You can see the expansion in Q3 as well.

    您也可以看到第三季度的擴張。

  • But we're still migrating a base of customers as well.

    但我們仍在遷移客戶群。

  • So ARR is still going to be important for us, where you want to drive more ARR.

    因此,ARR 對我們來說仍然很重要,你想要推動更多的 ARR。

  • I think the strength in ARR growth, frankly, over the last over a year really has been really impressive.

    坦率地說,我認為 ARR 增長的實力在過去一年多的時間裡確實令人印象深刻。

  • It's always going to give us this opportunity to drive healthy subscription growth.

    它總是會給我們這個機會來推動健康的訂閱增長。

  • The ELAs are not going to give us outsized revenue in Q4.

    ELA 不會在第四季度給我們帶來超額收入。

  • It's going to be a sizable contribution, but we're driving subscriptions.

    這將是一個相當大的貢獻,但我們正在推動訂閱。

  • And that's the strategy.

    這就是策略。

  • And we do still have customers that buy perpetual, and so there'll be some fluctuations in that.

  • But I think it's just the amount of content that people are creating is increasing.

    但我認為這只是人們創造的內容數量在增加。

  • And when the amount of content that people are creating, then content management becomes an important issue.

    當人們創建的內容量很大時,內容管理就成為一個重要問題。

  • Workflow becomes an important issue and standardization of the products.

    工作流成為產品的重要問題和標準化。

  • And one of the things we did really well is what we call our named user deployment and how, when we have these enterprise licensing agreements, we offer enterprises the ability to download and distribute within the companies.

    我們做得很好的一件事就是我們所謂的命名用戶部署,以及當我們擁有這些企業許可協議時,我們如何為企業提供下載和在公司內部分發的能力。

  • And the more we do training and evangelism of the products, that leads to adoption.

    我們對產品進行培訓和傳播的次數越多,就會導致採用。

  • So I would say there's an element of standardization.

    所以我想說有一個標準化的元素。

  • There's an element of more content.

    有更多內容的元素。

  • I mean even if you're a public sector company right now, I mean, what you transact online is becoming dramatically greater than it's ever been because the physical presence is seeing a cutback as a result of what's happened in the pandemic.

    我的意思是,即使你現在是一家公共部門公司,我的意思是,你的在線交易量正變得比以往任何時候都大得多,因為大流行病導致實體存在正在減少。

  • So I think all of those are macro trends that are going to continue, but we've also done a really good job of actively making sure we evangelize what these solutions are good for.

    所以我認為所有這些都是將繼續下去的宏觀趨勢,但我們也做得非常好,積極確保我們宣傳這些解決方案的好處。

  • We do more training within these enterprises.

    我們在這些企業內部做更多的培訓。

  • We allow these named user deployments, as I said, which then leads to true-ups and the ability to get them into a higher band.

    正如我所說,我們允許這些命名的用戶部署,然後導致調整和使他們進入更高頻段的能力。

    我們有數十億個配置文件。

  • And so I think a lot of other companies are talking about how they take something that may be in a record somewhere and do things with it.

    因此,我認為很多其他公司都在談論他們如何獲取可能在某個地方的記錄中的東西並用它來做事。

  • But for us, it's the activation of that data.

    但對我們來說,這是數據的激活。

  • And that's where I think most people are really excited about what Adobe has to offer.

    這就是我認為大多數人對 Adobe 所提供的產品感到非常興奮的地方。

  • And the other thing that I think has really happened is people recognize that they have to get control of their first-party data.

    我認為真正發生的另一件事是人們認識到他們必須控制他們的第一方數據。

  • I think a lot of interest used to exist about customer acquisition and third-party data.

    我認為過去人們對客戶獲取和第三方數據很感興趣。

  • But I think right now, it's about do we have even control of our first-party data, do we have control of our behavioral and what is happening on multiple channels and the fact that, that can be very easily answered as it relates to what we have done with the Adobe Experience Platform.

    但我認為現在,這是關於我們是否可以控制我們的第一方數據,我們是否可以控制我們的行為以及在多個渠道上發生的事情以及事實上,這可以很容易地回答,因為它與什麼有關我們已經完成了 Adobe Experience Platform。

  • And last but not least, I mean, remember, we're the only company that can go in and say, "Hey, we have a B2B business and a B2C business." And when we talk about how we are using this in terms of the playbook on adobe.com, I think that really opens up a lot of people's ideas as to how they can use this and utilize it.

    最後但同樣重要的是,我的意思是,請記住,我們是唯一一家可以說“嘿,我們有 B2B 業務和 B2C 業務”的公司。當我們根據 adobe.com 上的劇本談論我們如何使用它時,我認為這真的打開了很多人關於他們如何使用它的想法。

  • And so I think the playbook that we delivered for DDOM earlier this year and how we talk about what they can do, I think that's what -- that really resonates with customers.

    因此,我認為我們今年早些時候為 DDOM 提供的劇本以及我們如何談論他們可以做什麼,我認為這就是真正引起客戶共鳴的東西。

  • We'll take our final question from Brent Thill with Jefferies.

    我們將與 Jefferies 一起接受 Brent Thill 的最後一個問題。

  • Brent John Thill - Equity Analyst

    Brent John Thill - Equity Analyst

  • So the DX growth accelerated from Q2.

    因此,DX 增長從第二季度開始加速。

  • Can you just walk through the drivers of what you're seeing in terms of that acceleration?

    你能從加速的角度談談你所看到的驅動因素嗎?

  • And maybe for John, just as it relates to seasonality with Magento Commerce into Q4.

    也許對 John 來說,這與 Magento Commerce 進入第四季度的季節性有關。

  • Anything to keep in mind there?

    有什麼要記住的嗎?

  • Or do you just feel like this -- you keep powering through these tougher comps given the tailwinds you're seeing in that business?

    或者你只是覺得這樣 - 鑑於你在該業務中看到的順風,你繼續通過這些更艱難的競爭提供動力?

  • Shantanu Narayen - Chairman, President & CEO

    Shantanu Narayen - Chairman, President & CEO

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • Brent, I think what really drove that revenue was both subscription as well as the services.

    布倫特,我認為真正推動收入增長的是訂閱和服務。

  • And as you know, for the services, we're, again, really reliant on a large partner ecosystem.

    如您所知,對於服務,我們再次真正依賴於大型合作夥伴生態系統。

  • But if -- over the last 18 months, as we've always talked about, the interest is high.

    但是如果——在過去的 18 個月裡,正如我們一直在談論的那樣,人們的興趣很高。

  • Now they're all implementing it.

    現在他們都在實施它。

  • And so as they continue to implement it and as they continue to say we need to invest in these solutions, I think that's driving it.

    因此,當他們繼續實施它並繼續說我們需要投資這些解決方案時,我認為這正在推動它。

  • And I think to your point, if you take a step back, we, I think, guided to something like 19% revenue at the beginning of the year and 22% in subscriptions.

    我認為,就你的觀點而言,如果你退後一步,我認為我們在年初的收入和訂閱收入分別達到了 19% 和 22%。

  • We then increased that in March to 20% and 23%, respectively, and we just posted 26% and 29%.

    然後我們在 3 月份分別將其增加到 20% 和 23%,而我們剛剛發布了 26% 和 29%。

  • And so -- and if you look at it for Q4 as well, as you point out with the large comps, we continue to be excited about that opportunity.

    所以——如果你也看一下第四季度,正如你指出的那樣,我們仍然對這個機會感到興奮。

  • So I think this is front and center.

    所以我認為這是前沿和中心。

  • It's an enterprise priority.

    這是企業的優先事項。

  • And I think since people are saying, we've got to deal with this new reality.

    我認為既然人們在說,我們就必須應對這個新現實。

  • There's no time to waste in terms of implementing it.

    沒有時間可以浪費在實施方面。

  • Again, there were, as we said, a couple of nonrecurring items.

    同樣,正如我們所說,有幾個非經常性項目。

  • Some of those had to do with usage in commerce, and that actually is also indicative that may be a little bit more, depends on the quarter.

    其中一些與商業中的使用有關,這實際上也表明可能會多一點,具體取決於季度。

  • But it's up and to the right as far as we are concerned in terms of the business opportunity and the business.

    但就商業機會和業務而言,就我們而言,它是正確的。

  • John F. Murphy - Executive VP & CFO

  • And Brent, this is going to help -- go ahead.

    布倫特,這會有所幫助——繼續吧。

  • Shantanu Narayen - Chairman, President & CEO

    Shantanu Narayen - Chairman, President & CEO

  • No, go ahead.

    沒有,繼續。

  • Sorry, John.

    對不起,約翰。

  • I didn't hear you.

    我沒聽見你的話。

  • John F. Murphy - Executive VP & CFO

    John F. Murphy - Executive VP & CFO

  • Yes, no problem.

    是沒有問題。

  • I was going to just come over the top on that on Brent's question on seasonality related to commerce.

    關於布倫特關於與商業相關的季節性問題的問題,我本來打算把它放在首位。

  • Of course, Q4 is a strong commerce quarter anyway given the holiday spending time.

    當然,考慮到假期消費時間,第四季度無論如何都是一個強勁的商業季度。

  • So we're excited about the opportunity there as well.

    所以我們也對那裡的機會感到興奮。

  • It's just trying to set us up into the right.

    它只是試圖讓我們進入正確的狀態。

  • I think we have great momentum.

    我認為我們的勢頭很大。

  • Shantanu Narayen - Chairman, President & CEO

    Shantanu Narayen - Chairman, President & CEO

  • And overall, since that was the last question, I mean, again, I think we were really pleased with our performance in Q3.

    總的來說,因為這是最後一個問題,我的意思是,我認為我們對第三季度的表現非常滿意。

  • We do expect a strong end of year for our business, as you saw from our targets.

    正如您從我們的目標中看到的那樣,我們確實希望我們的業務在年底表現強勁。

  • It's clear that we're in this unique position that we have 3 large growth opportunities ahead of us, and we're executing well against all 3 of those.

    很明顯,我們處於這個獨特的位置,我們前面有 3 個巨大的增長機會,而且我們在這三個方面都表現良好。

  • And the innovation and the road map that exists across all 3 of those clouds just gives us continued optimism that we will serve our customers well, and we feel fortunate.

    所有這三個雲中存在的創新和路線圖讓我們繼續樂觀地認為我們將為我們的客戶提供良好的服務,我們感到很幸運。

  • I think the future of work and the fact that it's more hybrid will only continue to emphasize digital as a priority for companies of every size.

    我認為工作的未來及其更加混合的事實只會繼續強調數字化是各種規模公司的優先事項。

  • And so whether that's an increase in content for personalization, whether that's more automation of digital documents and whether that's every business thing we need to understand how to do customer experience management, I believe Adobe is very uniquely positioned to drive those particular macroeconomic trends.

    因此,無論是個性化內容的增加,數字文檔的自動化程度更高,還是我們需要了解如何進行客戶體驗管理的每一項業務,我相信 Adobe 在推動這些特定的宏觀經濟趨勢方面處於非常獨特的位置。
