And I -- first of all, before we get started, John, I just want to tell everyone that I am thrilled to announce that just this morning Salesforce was named by Fortune magazine as the world's number one most admired software company.
我——首先,在我們開始之前,約翰,我只想告訴大家,我很高興地宣布,就在今天早上,Salesforce 被《財富》雜誌評為世界上最受尊敬的軟件公司排名第一。
It is the second year in a row that we have received this tremendous recognition from Fortune Magazine.
這是我們連續第二年獲得《財富》雜誌的這一巨大認可。
I just want to thank them so much, and we are delighted to have that honor.
我只想非常感謝他們,我們很高興能獲得這份榮譽。
And I would also like to congratulate our team here at Salesforce for just an outstanding performance for our fourth quarter and fiscal year.

I just want to thank all of our employees, our customers, our partners, everyone, we, as I am sure everyone can see by our numbers, we had a spectacular finish to yet another what is absolutely another year of just exceptional growth.
我只想感謝我們所有的員工,我們的客戶,我們的合作夥伴,每個人,我們,我相信每個人都可以從我們的數字中看到,我們在又一個絕對是非凡增長的一年中取得了驚人的成績。
Now if you hadn't had a chance to look at the numbers, you will see that revenue for the fourth quarter rose 37% from a year ago to $1.15 billion, and our full FY14 revenue grew 33% to more than $4 billion.
現在,如果您沒有機會查看這些數字,您會看到第四季度的收入同比增長 37% 至 11.5 億美元,而我們 FY14 的全部收入增長 33% 至超過 40 億美元。
And we are about to push through this $5 billion milestone run rate any minute, you can see that.

No other software company of our size and scale is growing at this speed.
沒有其他像我們這樣規模和規模的軟件公司以這種速度增長。
Deferred revenue grew by 35% year over year to more than $2.5 billion, and the dollar value of booked business on and off the balance sheet is now at $7 billion.
遞延收入同比增長 35% 至超過 25 億美元,資產負債表內外的已登記業務的美元價值目前為 70 億美元。
And I am sure everyone has seen that we have raised our guidance by $100 million, which is really unusual, and just really speaks to the acceleration that we have had in our business to [$5.3] billion.
我相信每個人都已經看到我們將我們的指導提高了 1 億美元,這真的很不尋常,而且確實說明了我們的業務已經加速到 [5.3] 億美元。
We are going to get into that detail in a moment.
我們稍後會詳細介紹。
Now during the quarter, we significantly grew the number of seven and eight-figure transactions, compared to the fourth quarter of last year.
現在在本季度,與去年第四季度相比,我們的七位數和八位數交易數量顯著增加。
We had more than 200 transactions in the quarter that were seven-figures or more, including more than 10 eight-figure transactions.
本季度我們有超過 200 筆七位數或以上的交易,其中包括 10 多筆八位數的交易。

這對於 CRM 領域的軟件公司來說真的是非常特殊的,而且 CRM 要做的事情——看到超過 200 筆七位數或更多的交易簡直令人難以置信。
I know that none of our peers are seeing these large transaction volume like this.
我知道我們的同行都沒有看到像這樣大的交易量。
In addition, I am also delighted to announce that we are raising our FY15 revenue guidance by $100 million to $5.3 billion, which is the full-year growth rate of 30% at the high end of our range.
此外,我也很高興地宣布,我們將 2015 財年的收入指引上調 1 億美元至 53 億美元,這是我們範圍高端的 30% 的全年增長率。
We couldn't be more happy about that, and we are committed to improving non-GAAP profitability by 125 to 150 basis points, which is a huge goal of mine for this year, and increasing cash flow growth this year, while also continuing to deliver on this outstanding pace of top line growth.
我們對此感到非常高興,我們致力於將非 GAAP 盈利能力提高 125 至 150 個基點,這是我今年的一個巨大目標,並增加今年的現金流增長,同時繼續實現這一出色的收入增長速度。
So just a great job by the Company and I just want to congratulate everybody.

我們絕對正在進入第三波計算浪潮,一切都連接在一起,而客戶關係管理確實是這一切的核心,因為在每條推文、每款應用程序和一切的背後,都有一位客戶。

構建這些下一代應用程序的能力是為什麼現在有超過 150 萬應用程序開發人員在我們的平台上,比去年增長 50%,成千上萬的 ISV 在我們的平台上開發,在 App Exchange 上的活動如此之多。

沒有什麼比我們產品的實際使用、產品的採用、速度、可靠性和客戶所期望的信任更能說明 Salesforce 的價值了。

我稍後會給你更多的細節。
Let me take you through the highlights of the quarter and the year, starting with revenue and EPS.
讓我帶您了解本季度和年度的亮點,從收入和每股收益開始。
So fourth-quarter revenue was $1.145 billion, that is up 37% over Q4 last year.
因此,第四季度收入為 11.45 億美元,比去年第四季度增長 37%。
If you exclude the FX headwind of approximately $3 million, Q4 revenue was actually of 38%.

Our Q4 operating margin was further impacted by the occurrence of Dreamforce in November, where as last year Dreamforce was included in our Q3 results.
11 月 Dreamforce 的出現進一步影響了我們第四季度的營業利潤率,與去年一樣,Dreamforce 被包含在我們的第三季度業績中。
Turning to hiring, we added more than 500 people in the fourth quarter, and more than 3,500 new employees in the full fiscal year, bringing our total headcount to just over 13,300.
談到招聘,我們在第四季度增加了 500 多人,並在整個財年增加了 3,500 多名新員工,使我們的總員工人數剛剛超過 13,300 人。
That is up 36% over last year.
這比去年增長了 36%。
Turning to the balance sheet, we ended the year with approximately $1.3 billion in cash and marketable securities.
談到資產負債表,我們在年底擁有大約 13 億美元的現金和有價證券。
That is down from approximately $1.8 billion last year.
這低於去年的約 18 億美元。
Accounts receivable was up 56% over last year to approximately $1.4 billion.
應收賬款比去年增長 56%,達到約 14 億美元。
Deferred revenue ended the year at $2.5 billion, up 35% over last year, including approximately $99 million related to ExactTarget.
截至年底的遞延收入為 25 億美元,比去年增長 35%,其中包括與 ExactTarget 相關的約 9900 萬美元。
Excluding approximately $8 million of year-over-year FX headwind, deferred revenue increased 36%.
排除約 800 萬美元的同比外匯逆風,遞延收入增長了 36%。
On a sequential quarter basis, deferred revenue also had an FX headwind of approximately $8 million.
在連續季度的基礎上,遞延收入也有大約 800 萬美元的外匯逆風。
Deferred revenue continued to benefit from the residual effects of multiple year invoices from the continued shift toward annual billing.
遞延收入繼續受益於持續轉向年度計費的多年發票的剩餘影響。
The combined benefit to deferred revenue in Q4 was approximately $75 million, up from $67 million sequentially, but down from $125 million in Q4 last year.
第四季度遞延收入的綜合收益約為 7500 萬美元,高於上一季度的 6700 萬美元,但低於去年第四季度的 1.25 億美元。
As we mentioned in Q3, given the declining impact from the shift to annual invoicing we initiated actually over two years ago now, this will be the last time we provide the specific dollar impact on deferred revenue.
正如我們在第三季度提到的那樣,鑑於我們在兩年前實際上開始的年度發票轉變的影響正在下降,這將是我們最後一次提供對遞延收入的具體美元影響。
However, we do plan to continue to provide the proportion of annual invoices issued in the quarter.
但是,我們確實計劃繼續提供本季度開具的年度發票的比例。
Excluding ExactTarget, approximately 83% of the value of all subscriptions support-related invoices were issued with annual terms in Q4.
不包括 ExactTarget,所有訂閱支持相關發票的價值中約有 83% 是在第四季度按年度開具的。
That is compared with approximately 80% in Q4 last year.
相比之下,去年第四季度約為 80%。
And for ExactTarget, we were really pleased to see improvements in their mix of annual billing in Q4, which increased approximately 10 points over Q4 last year.
對於 ExactTarget,我們非常高興地看到他們在第四季度的年度計費組合有所改善,比去年第四季度增加了大約 10 個百分點。
So great progress there.
那裡進步很大。
Unbilled deferred revenue, or revenue that is contracted but not yet invoiced and is off the balance sheet was approximately $4.5 billion in Q4.
第四季度未開票的遞延收入或已簽約但尚未開票且資產負債表外的收入約為 45 億美元。
That is an increase of approximately 29% over the last year.
這比去年增加了大約 29%。
Turning to cash flow, Q4 operating cash flow was $271 million, down 4% over Q4 last year, but actually above our expectations.
現金流方面,第四季度經營現金流為 2.71 億美元,比去年第四季度下降 4%,但實際上超出了我們的預期。
And for the full fiscal year, operating cash flow was $875 million, up 19% over FY13.
整個財年的運營現金流為 8.75 億美元,比 FY13 增長 19%。
So a very strong result, when you consider that ExactTarget reduced our full-year operating cash flow by more than $50 million during the year.
當您考慮到 ExactTarget 在這一年減少了我們的全年運營現金流超過 5000 萬美元時,這是一個非常強勁的結果。
CapEx was $70 million in fourth quarter, up 38% year over year, and $299 million for the full year, that is up 70% over last year.
第四季度資本支出為 7000 萬美元,同比增長 38%,全年為 2.99 億美元,比去年增長 70%。
The year-over-year increase in CapEx was principally related to new office build-outs, and to a lesser extent ExactTarget.
資本支出的同比增長主要與新辦公室建設有關,在較小程度上與 ExactTarget 有關。
CapEx as a percent of revenue in the fourth quarter was 6% unchanged from Q4 last year.
第四季度資本支出佔收入的百分比與去年第四季度持平 6%。
Free cash flow, which we define as operating cash flow is CapEx was $201 million in fourth quarter, down 13% from last year.
自由現金流,我們定義為運營現金流,第四季度資本支出為 2.01 億美元,比去年下降 13%。
For the full-year, free cash flow was $576 million, up 3% over FY13.
全年自由現金流為 5.76 億美元,較 FY13 增長 3%。
Turning to guidance.
轉向指導。
With our strong finish to FY14, we are delighted to be raising our full-year 2015 revenue outlook by $100 million to $5.25 billion to $5.3 billion.
憑藉我們對 FY14 的強勁業績,我們很高興將 2015 年全年收入預期提高 1 億美元至 52.5 億美元至 53 億美元。
And that gives year-over-year revenue growth range of 29% to 30%.
這使得收入同比增長范圍為 29% 至 30%。
As you heard from Marc and me, we are committed to improving our non-GAAP margins.
正如您從 Marc 和我那裡聽到的那樣,我們致力於提高我們的非 GAAP 利潤率。
We expect full-year non-GAAP EPS in the range of $0.48 to $0.50, which implies an increase in our non-GAAP operating margins of 125 to 150 basis points, and that assumes no significant M&A activity during the year.
我們預計全年非 GAAP 每股收益在 0.48 美元至 0.50 美元之間,這意味著我們的非 GAAP 營業利潤率將增加 125 至 150 個基點,並且假設年內沒有重大併購活動。
Our FY15 non-GAAP EPS also assumes that other income expense will continue to be a net expense, and we are also assuming a non-GAAP tax rate of 36.5%.
我們的 2015 財年非公認會計原則每股收益還假設其他收入費用將繼續為淨費用,我們還假設非公認會計原則的稅率為 36.5%。
We made some changes to our non-GAAP tax forecasting, so let me just spend a minute to provide some color on that.
我們對我們的非公認會計原則稅收預測進行了一些更改,所以讓我花一點時間來提供一些顏色。
In an effort to provide more consistency for guidance and reporting purposes, we will begin using a fixed, long-term non-GAAP projected tax rate, in this case 36.5%.
為了為指導和報告目的提供更多的一致性,我們將開始使用固定的長期非公認會計原則預計稅率,在這種情況下為 36.5%。
This non-GAAP tax rate eliminate the effects of non recurring and period-specific items, which can vary and have certainly varied in size and frequency.
這種非公認會計原則稅率消除了非經常性和特定時期項目的影響,這些項目可能會有所不同,並且在規模和頻率上肯定會有所不同。
We will provide updates to this fixed rate annually, or if a situation arises or causes significant change to our assumptions around the projected rate, and continue to provide a reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP tax rate in the detailed financials, under income tax effects and adjustments.
我們將每年提供此固定利率的更新,或者如果出現情況或導致我們圍繞預計利率的假設發生重大變化,並繼續在所得稅下的詳細財務報表中提供我們的 GAAP 與非 GAAP 稅率的對賬效果和調整。
For FY15, we expect operating cash flow to grow in the mid-20% range, and expect CapEx to be approximately 5% to 7% of revenue, in line with historical averages.
2015 財年,我們預計經營現金流將增長在 20% 左右,資本支出佔收入的比例約為 5% 至 7%,與歷史平均水平一致。
Turning to Q1, we anticipate revenue in the range of $1.205 billion to $1.21 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 35% to 36%.
談到第一季度,我們預計收入在 12.05 億美元至 12.1 億美元之間,同比增長 35% 至 36%。
We expect non-GAAP EPS in the range of $0.09 to $0.10, and we expect Q1 deferred revenue growth to be in the low 30%s range.
我們預計非公認會計原則每股收益在 0.09 美元至 0.10 美元之間,我們預計第一季度遞延收入增長將在 30%s 的低位範圍內。
During the first quarter, we are committed to repaying in cash an aggregate principal balance of more than $280 million related to conversions of our $575 million 75 basis points senior notes which we issued in January, just 4.5 years ago, so they are due January 2015.
在第一季度,我們承諾以現金償還總額超過 2.8 億美元的本金餘額,這些本金餘額與我們在 4.5 年前的 1 月發行的 5.75 億美元 75 個基點優先票據的轉換有關,因此它們將於 2015 年 1 月到期.
And we will likely see continued conversions during FY15, which will have an impact on our cash flow as well as our financing cash flows, (inaudible) actually on cash balance, as our financing cash flows is spread throughout the year.
我們可能會在 2015 財年看到持續的轉換,這將影響我們的現金流以及我們的融資現金流,(聽不清)實際上影響現金餘額,因為我們的融資現金流在全年都分佈。
As a reminder, all of the underlying assumptions for our GAAP and non-GAAP guidance, and a complete non-GAAP reconciliation can be found in our earnings press release issued today.
提醒一下,我們的 GAAP 和非 GAAP 指導的所有基本假設,以及完整的非 GAAP 調節可以在我們今天發布的收益新聞稿中找到。
Just before moving on to Q&A, I want to briefly address my future retirement, that Marc talked about, that we announced today.
在繼續進行問答之前,我想簡要談談我今天宣布的 Marc 談到的我未來的退休。
I could not be more convinced of Salesforce.com's long-term success.
我對 Salesforce.com 的長期成功深信不疑。
This year, we will celebrate our 15th anniversary, and also pass our 10th year as a public company, and I am sure over the next decade we will see Salesforce.com to grow to be one of the very largest software companies in the world.
今年,我們將慶祝成立 15 週年,也將度過我們作為上市公司的第 10 個年頭,我相信在接下來的十年中,我們將看到 Salesforce.com 成長為世界上最大的軟件公司之一。
And I have really enjoyed being part of the Salesforce team for the past six years, and I want to thank everybody who have I worked with, both within Salesforce and our advisors for helping me and the Company be so successful.
在過去的六年裡,我真的很享受成為 Salesforce 團隊的一員,我要感謝與我共事的每一個人,包括 Salesforce 內部和我們的顧問,他們幫助我和公司取得如此成功。
And I look forward to helping the executive team with the CFO search process and oversee ensuring a very smooth transition for the next 13 months.
我期待在 CFO 搜索過程中幫助執行團隊,並監督確保未來 13 個月的平穩過渡。
So with that, I will open the call up for questions.

Before we do that, I just want to come back and just say, Graham, thank you so much for your contribution to our success of the last six years.

Well, I really appreciate that question, because it's really the heart of our strategy, and something to where I've spent a huge amount of my personal time this year, getting Salesforce1 right.
嗯,我真的很感激這個問題,因為它確實是我們戰略的核心,也是我今年花費大量個人時間的地方,讓 Salesforce1 正確。
You know, Kash, because you follow enterprise software so closely that I don't think there is any company whose enterprise software has moved as well as ours has to the phone.
你知道,Kash,因為你如此密切地關注企業軟件,以至於我認為沒有任何公司的企業軟件像我們的手機一樣遷移到手機上。
And not only do we have a compelling mobile experience for our sales service and marketing clouds, but you can also build your own custom applications and deploy whatever you need to automate your company right onto the phone.
我們不僅為我們的銷售服務和營銷雲提供了引人入勝的移動體驗,而且您還可以構建自己的自定義應用程序並將您需要的任何內容部署到手機上,從而使您的公司實現自動化。
And as an ISV, you can also publish right into Salesforce1.

We are the first ones there.

It is a huge competitive advantage for Salesforce.
這對 Salesforce 來說是一個巨大的競爭優勢。
It is a critical part of every sales cycle.
它是每個銷售週期的關鍵部分。
And we are moving into a phone world.
我們正在進入一個電話世界。
I have said this on the call before: I strongly believe in the future of the phone.
我之前在電話中說過:我堅信手機的未來。
I think phones are getting larger, faster, and that your software has to run really well on the phone, and ours does, and perhaps only ours does.
我認為手機變得越來越大、越來越快,你的軟件必須在手機上運行得非常好,我們的軟件可以,也許只有我們的軟件可以。
I think that is certainly true today.
我認為今天確實如此。
I don't know for how long that will be true for, but I haven't seen anyone else really deliver a vision of enterprise software on the phone.
我不知道這會持續多久,但我還沒有看到其他人真正在手機上提供企業軟件的願景。
On my phone, I can manage my feed, I can manage all of my groups, all my employee information, my analytics and dashboards, my schedules.
在我的手機上,我可以管理我的提要,我可以管理我的所有群組、我的所有員工信息、我的分析和儀表板、我的日程安排。
And all the critical ISV apps as well that I use, as well as custom apps.
以及我使用的所有關鍵 ISV 應用程序以及自定義應用程序。
I mean, at Salesforce, we have just some really great apps that we have deployed internally that are custom to us.
我的意思是,在 Salesforce,我們只有一些非常棒的應用程序,我們在內部部署了這些應用程序是為我們定制的。
Everything from managing our IT trouble tickets, to even giving feedback on Salesforce1 to create a task for our customers-for-life organization.
從管理我們的 IT 故障單到提供有關 Salesforce1 的反饋,為我們的終身客戶組織創建任務,應有盡有。
And it is the heart of everything we do.

And, Graham, it has been a pleasure working with you over the past six years.
而且,格雷厄姆,很高興在過去六年中與您合作。
And I am going to direct a question in your way.
我將以你的方式提出一個問題。
The reduction in the attrition rate to under 10% -- it is a great accomplishment.
減員率降至 10% 以下——這是一項了不起的成就。
I think it talks a lot about the stickiness of the Salesforce.com solution increasing strategic-ness as a solution, but I think it also talks to the operational controls that you guys have put in place.
我認為它談論了很多關於 Salesforce.com 解決方案的粘性,增加了作為解決方案的戰略性,但我認為它也談到了你們已經實施的運營控制。
The question after that is: Do you think there is room for further improvement in that?
之後的問題是:您認為這方面還有進一步改進的空間嗎?
As your product offerings get more strategic, and maybe from an operational perspective, to get that attrition rate even lower?
隨著您的產品變得更具戰略性,也許從運營的角度來看,讓流失率更低?
- CFO

Yes, thanks.
對了謝謝。
We are obviously delighted to see that rate finally drop below 10%.
我們顯然很高興看到這一比率最終降至 10% 以下。
It feels like -- I think it is 18 points -- it has been a long journey, but I think there is certainly still room for improvement.
感覺 - 我認為是 18 分 - 這是一段漫長的旅程,但我認為肯定還有改進的空間。
And I think, we have talked in the past about the different programs we have, the early warning systems we have, the shift to enterprise.
而且我認為,我們過去曾討論過我們擁有的不同計劃,我們擁有的預警系統,以及向企業的轉變。
And I think, clearly bringing in the new leadership team, with Keith Block and Tony Fernicola, has certainly added to that just absolute credibility in the enterprise space.
我認為,顯然引入新的領導團隊,包括 Keith Block 和 Tony Fernicola,無疑增加了企業領域的絕對可信度。
And we, frankly, see very, very low attrition rates in enterprise.
坦率地說,我們看到企業的流失率非常非常低。
And so, for us, it is a lot more about working on the mid-market and small business, and I think you will see us continue to do that.
因此,對我們來說,更多的是關於中型市場和小型企業的工作,我想你會看到我們繼續這樣做。
I don't think you should expect -- you have seen -- the rate of decline has been slow and steady.
我認為你不應該期待——你已經看到——下降的速度是緩慢而穩定的。
And I think we will be working hard to basically keep that going over the next few years.
我認為我們將努力工作,在接下來的幾年里基本上保持這種狀態。
I don't really -- it's impossible for me to give you a credible forecast, but I think it certainly can go lower over time, if we keep working at it.
我不是真的 - 我不可能給你一個可靠的預測,但我認為如果我們繼續努力,它肯定會隨著時間的推移而降低。

Marc, when you consider how the marketing battle is developing, and in particular as it relates to Adobe, how are you thinking about some of Adobe's competencies, including content management and website analytics?
Marc,當您考慮營銷戰的發展情況,特別是與 Adobe 相關的情況時,您如何看待 Adobe 的一些能力,包括內容管理和網站分析?
And also, how do you think Adobe and maybe Oracle feel about trying to take on Salesforce's dominant leadership position in some of the areas that are going to be so synergistic to marketing?
此外,您認為 Adobe 和甲骨文對嘗試在一些與營銷如此協同的領域中佔據 Salesforce 的主導地位有何看法?
In other words, the sales cloud and the service cloud -- do you think it's really feasible to try to become a system of engagement, if you don't own those assets?
換句話說,銷售雲和服務雲——如果你不擁有這些資產,你認為嘗試成為一個參與系統真的可行嗎?
- CEO

Well, I love Adobe.
好吧,我喜歡 Adobe。
I have used their products since I was at Apple, when they created postscript for the laser printers.
自從我在 Apple 工作以來,我就一直在使用他們的產品,當時他們為激光打印機創建了 postscript。
And those founders who still guide that company are two of the most visionary people, I think, in the industry, and it is a great organization.
我認為,那些仍然指導這家公司的創始人是業內最有遠見的兩個人,這是一個偉大的組織。
They obviously participate in the marketing of the market, and so do we, and so do others, because it's a big market.
他們顯然參與了市場營銷,我們如此,其他人也如此,因為這是一個大市場。
And as we said, CMOs are going to be spending more on technology than CIOs.
正如我們所說,CMO 在技術上的支出將超過 CIO。
And I think that this is not a zero-sum game.
而且我認為這不是一場零和遊戲。
I think there is plenty of room for everybody.
我認為每個人都有足夠的空間。
And I have been investing, as you probably know, for the last two or three years now, because we believe so strongly in this, and we've bought quite a few assets, and tried a lot of different things.
你可能知道,在過去的兩三年裡,我一直在投資,因為我們堅信這一點,我們已經購買了很多資產,並嘗試了很多不同的東西。
Because we had to kind of find our way through this opportunity, and we certainly have done that.
因為我們必須通過這個機會找到自己的方式,我們當然已經做到了。
And you can see we bought the premier asset in the market last year.
你可以看到我們去年購買了市場上的首要資產。
There is just no question.
毫無疑問。
We are number one in email marketing.
我們在電子郵件營銷中排名第一。
We are number one in social listening.
我們在社交聆聽方面排名第一。
We are number one in social publishing.
我們在社交出版領域排名第一。
We are number one in social advertising, with social.com, which is the number-one provider of services to advertisers on Facebook.
我們在社交廣告方面排名第一,social.com 是 Facebook 上為廣告商提供服務的第一大提供商。
I think it manages about 10% of Facebook's ad spend, approximately, and we just see a lot of potential going forward.
我認為它管理著大約 10% 的 Facebook 廣告支出,我們只是看到了很大的發展潛力。
One of the most exciting things with ExactTarget is the complete re-conceptualization of their product into Journey Builder.
ExactTarget 最令人興奮的事情之一是將其產品完全重新概念化為 Journey Builder。
And for those of you who have seen us now demonstrate that, it is a whole new vision for the marketer that is getting great response.
對於那些已經看到我們現在證明這一點的人來說,對於營銷人員來說,這是一個全新的願景,得到了很好的回應。
As part of the ExactTarget acquisition, I think we also ended up with a phenomenal asset called Pardot, which was actually a huge part of the quarter.
作為收購 ExactTarget 的一部分,我認為我們最終還獲得了一項名為 Pardot 的非凡資產,這實際上是本季度的重要組成部分。
It was one of the absolute fastest-growing products we have ever seen.
它是我們見過的絕對增長最快的產品之一。
It is tightly integrated with our sales cloud, and will be even more tightly integrated.
它與我們的銷售雲緊密集成,並且將更加緊密集成。
It competes in that lead-nurturing marketplace, and that's another area.
它在那個潛在的培育市場中競爭,這是另一個領域。
There is a lot of different places to play in marketing, and I think that we are absolutely a player in marketing.
營銷中有很多不同的地方可以發揮作用,我認為我們絕對是營銷的參與者。
I think one of our key assets, of course, is our large and extremely well-run direct sales organization.
我認為我們的關鍵資產之一當然是我們龐大且運行良好的直銷組織。
Also, that customers want that marketing cloud to be tightly integrated with what they are doing with sales and service.
此外,客戶希望營銷雲與他們在銷售和服務方面所做的事情緊密集成。
But I want to make it clear: I really think that there is plenty of room here for everybody.
但我想說清楚:我真的認為這裡有足夠的空間供每個人使用。
There is a lot of great companies out there.
那裡有很多偉大的公司。
Adobe is a great company, and we are going to be the number-one marketing cloud in the world.
Adobe 是一家偉大的公司,我們將成為世界上排名第一的營銷雲。

Can you talk a little bit about the drivers there?
你能談談那裡的司機嗎?
How much of that was Keith Block already, and how much can we expect more from him?
其中有多少已經是 Keith Block 了,我們還能從他身上期待多少?
And how much was it customers buying into division of Salesforce, in terms of Salesforce1 and the [Xana] product.
就 Salesforce1 和 [Xana] 產品而言,客戶購買 Salesforce 部門的費用是多少。
So, is this the beginning a trend that will continue?
那麼,這是一個將繼續的趨勢嗎?
Thank you.
謝謝你。
- CEO
- CEO
Well, thank you.
嗯,謝謝。
I think if you look at large deals for Salesforce, they do tend to be quite seasonal.
我認為,如果您查看 Salesforce 的大宗交易,它們確實往往具有很強的季節性。
It's the end of our fiscal year.
這是我們財政年度的結束。
Our sales reps tend to architect their own compensation plans to culminate in a large transaction at the end of the fiscal year; it's kind of the nature of the enterprise software business.
我們的銷售代表傾向於製定自己的薪酬計劃,以在財政年度結束時達成大筆交易;這是企業軟件業務的一種性質。
If you go back and look at -- we tend to report, at the end of every year, the number of large transactions in the fourth quarter that occur.
如果你回頭看看——我們傾向於在每年年底報告第四季度發生的大宗交易數量。
I think you will see that we have just had really good symmetrical growth of our large transactions, but also our small and medium transactions as well.
我想你會看到,我們的大筆交易和中小筆交易都實現了非常好的對稱增長。
We have run a full portfolio of business -- a full portfolio of geographies.
我們經營著一個完整的業務組合——一個完整的地域組合。
The large enterprise business is important, the small business is important, the medium business is important.
大企業重要,小企業重要,中型企業重要。
We have a complex distribution organization, which is why we are so fortunate to, this year, attract a great leader, Keith Block, to run that for us.
我們有一個複雜的分銷組織,這就是為什麼我們如此幸運地在今年吸引了一位偉大的領導者 Keith Block 來為我們運營。
He is also a member of our Board of Directors.
他也是我們董事會的成員。
He has done a great job.
他做得很好。
He has hired a great management team; and we couldn't be, I think, better positioned for continued excellence in distribution.
他聘請了一支優秀的管理團隊;我認為,我們不能更好地定位於持續卓越的分銷。

- CFO
And Raimo, just a reminder on the numbers.
還有雷莫,只是對數字的提醒。
We reported more than 200 seven- and eight-digit transactions this quarter.
我們本季度報告了超過 200 筆七位數和八位數的交易。
Q4 a year ago was over 150, so, that, more or less, mirrors that growth rate in the 30%-plus range.
一年前的第四季度超過 150,因此,這或多或少反映了 30% 以上的增長率。
So, as Marc says, very kind of symmetric growth.
因此,正如 Marc 所說,這是一種非常對稱的增長。
- CEO
- CEO
I think that that's really the most important thing.
我認為這真的是最重要的事情。
Because, as the CEO, I want all aspects of the Business to be growing with equanimity, and that we don't leave any one segment or any one geography behind.
因為,作為首席執行官,我希望業務的各個方面都能從容地發展,並且我們不會將任何一個細分市場或任何一個地理區域拋在後面。
Because the strength of the Company, and the reason why you see Salesforce delivering a 37% growth opportunity here, is because we manage that full portfolio of revenue.
因為公司的實力,以及您看到 Salesforce 在這裡提供 37% 增長機會的原因,是因為我們管理著完整的收入組合。
We have talked about that on a number of calls.
我們已經在多次電話會議上談到了這一點。
But we have done that very well, and that is a key part of our strategy.
但我們做得很好,這是我們戰略的關鍵部分。
And I don't like to over-emphasize any one area, but in the enterprise -- like I said, I don't know any other company that's gotten close to more than 200 transactions in the seven- and eight-digit category in customer relationship management enterprise software, this quarter or any quarter before this.
我不想過分強調任何一個領域,但在企業中——就像我說的,我不知道有任何其他公司在 7 位和 8 位類別中獲得了接近 200 筆交易客戶關係管理企業軟件,本季度或之前的任何季度。

Congratulations, and, yes, Graham, I echo everyone's thoughts and you will definitely be missed.

My question, Marc, is -- I guess I had two questions, one for Marc and one for Graham.
Marc,我的問題是-- 我想我有兩個問題,一個是給Marc,一個是給Graham。
Marc, how do you think about the integration of your marketing cloud assets?
Marc,您如何看待營銷雲資產的整合?
And how important will the ultimate integration of these assets be to further inflecting the growth that you are seeing in that cloud to get to the vision that you are talking about a few years down the road?
這些資產的最終整合對於進一步影響您在該雲中看到的增長以實現您在幾年後談論的願景有多重要?
And then, I have a follow-up for Graham.
然後,我對 Graham 進行了跟進。
- CEO

Well, thanks, Heather.
好吧,謝謝,希瑟。
As usual, I think that your question is actually something that is very relevant for where we are right now, and I will tell you exactly how I think about this.
像往常一樣,我認為您的問題實際上與我們現在所處的位置非常相關,我將確切地告訴您我對此的看法。
In the marketing area, some parts need to be very deeply integrated, and some parts can be loosely coupled.
在營銷領域,有些部分需要非常深度的集成,有些部分可以鬆耦合。
In the deeply integrated area, lead nurturing for example, with Pardot -- if you go to pardot.com, and you look at the website, you look at the integration that we have done so far, I think between now and Dreamforce, you will see a extremely deep integration between Salesforce and Pardot.
在深度集成領域,例如領導培育,使用 Pardot -- 如果你訪問 pardot.com,然後查看網站,查看我們迄今為止所做的集成,我認為從現在到 Dreamforce,你將看到 Salesforce 和 Pardot 之間極其深入的集成。
We continue to scale that business and grow it, and make sure that it is integrated extremely deeply to our core.
我們繼續擴展該業務並發展它,並確保它與我們的核心非常深入地集成。
With ExactTarget, that unit is more loosely coupled because many of the key areas that it focuses on do not need to be as deeply integrated as the Pardot asset.
使用 ExactTarget,該單元的耦合更加鬆散,因為它關注的許多關鍵領域不需要像 Pardot 資產那樣深度集成。
Still, we can have shared contacts.
不過,我們可以共享聯繫人。
We can integrate our service cloud.
我們可以集成我們的服務雲。
We can bring in our consoles.
我們可以帶上我們的遊戲機。
But at the end of the day, I believe that those marketers are going to want a control panel to be able to run their business, and I believe that that's going to look a lot like ExactTarget.
但歸根結底,我相信那些營銷人員會想要一個控制面板來運行他們的業務,而且我相信這看起來很像 ExactTarget。
You can see how we have already integrated Salesforce core services and Salesforce platform with Journey Builder.
您可以看到我們如何將 Salesforce 核心服務和 Salesforce 平台與 Journey Builder 集成。
You are going to see more things like that.
你會看到更多這樣的事情。
And it is just a very, very exciting time for the marketers.
對於營銷人員來說,這只是一個非常非常激動人心的時刻。
And you won't hear me say it enough, that I think we have the premier asset, premier platform, and we are going to continue to see some real excellence out of ExactTarget and our Indianapolis team.
而且你不會聽到我說的足夠多,我認為我們擁有一流的資產、一流的平台,我們將繼續看到 ExactTarget 和我們的印第安納波利斯團隊取得真正的卓越表現。

And just the follow-up for Graham would be: Graham, I might have missed this, but did you give what ExactTarget did for deferred for the quarter?

馬克,我在平台上也有一個問題,我猜是:隨著您在 Salesforce1 上看到的成功,這是否會改變您對平台可以達到 10 億美元 ARR 的時間框架的看法?

Well, I think Salesforce1 is an accelerator on the platform.

I think Fuel from ExactTarget is an accelerator on the platform.
我認為 ExactTarget 的 Fuel 是平台上的加速器。
That these three things together really make a phenomenal platform.
這三樣東西加在一起真的是一個了不起的平台。
I couldn't be more excited with Salesforce1, and how it is going for our customers.
我對 Salesforce1 以及它對我們客戶的影響感到無比興奮。
As I said, our own success with that, inside the Company, speaks to what it can do for our customers, to our ability to compete in the markets, differentiate ourselves, to make our customers successful in the phone environment.
正如我所說,我們自己在公司內部的成功說明了它可以為我們的客戶做些什麼,說明我們有能力在市場上競爭,讓自己與眾不同,讓我們的客戶在電話環境中取得成功。
We are all-in on iOS; we are all-in on Android.
我們在 iOS 上全力以赴;我們全力以赴使用 Android。
It is great on phones; it is great on tablets.
它在手機上很棒;它在平板電腦上很棒。
I know that it has a lot of upside.
我知道它有很多好處。
If you haven't followed the success of Heroku in the Ruby world, since we acquired that asset, it has been a rocket ship.
如果您還沒有關注 Heroku 在 Ruby 世界中的成功,那麼自從我們獲得該資產以來,它就是一艘火箭飛船。
And that continues to be a huge part of our message to developers, especially in building interaction applications.
這仍然是我們向開發人員傳達信息的重要部分,尤其是在構建交互應用程序時。
We saw some great stories, especially in the enterprise this quarter with Heroku.
我們看到了一些很棒的故事,尤其是在本季度的 Heroku 企業中。
One very large retailer -- I don't want to get into the details because I don't know if we have approval to use their name or not -- needed, in a crisis situation, to rapidly deploy a very large application.
一家非常大的零售商——我不想詳細說明,因為我不知道我們是否獲准使用他們的名字——在危機情況下需要快速部署一個非常大的應用程序。
And they built it and deployed it in Heroku; and it was a huge success for them.
他們在 Heroku 中構建並部署了它;這對他們來說是一個巨大的成功。
I can tell you, with Fuel, that one of the real assets of ExactTarget is that it is not just an app, but it is a platform, and that they very much have our strategy.
我可以告訴你,對於 Fuel,ExactTarget 的真正資產之一是它不僅僅是一個應用程序,而是一個平台,而且他們非常有我們的策略。
It is integrated with a lot of key ISV apps.
它與許多關鍵的 ISV 應用程序集成。
And it is that trifecta of Salesforce1, Fuel, and Heroku that just give us three tremendous platform assets to really go after any task in building a custom capability for the customer.
正是 Salesforce1、Fuel 和 Heroku 的三重奏,為我們提供了三個巨大的平台資產,可以真正完成為客戶構建自定義功能的任何任務。

You will see with Salesforce that probably was the most under-covered, under-reported story of Dreamforce, is what we delivered in analytics and reporting; a lot of that with some of these great new leaders that we acquired this year.
您將在 Salesforce 中看到,這可能是 Dreamforce 中最隱蔽、報導不足的故事,也是我們在分析和報告方面提供的;我們今年收購了一些偉大的新領導人,其中很多。
If you go and take a look at what we could do for customers today with our new, next-generation reporting engine, next-generation dashboards, I don't think there is a company that delivers more dashboards and more reports and more analytics to customers every day than Salesforce.
