  • This quarter, we recorded an impairment charge related to our Phone Hardware business and incurring integration and restructuring expenses.

    本季度,我們記錄了與電話硬件業務相關的減值費用,並產生了整合和重組費用。

  • Additionally, like most multi-national companies, the strengthening of the US dollar continues to have a significant impact on our reported results.

    此外,與大多數跨國公司一樣,美元走強繼續對我們報告的業績產生重大影響。

  • Accordingly, when applicable, I'll give results and gross rates adjusting for the impairment, integration, and restructuring expenses, but also in constant currency to help you better understand the underlying business fundamentals.

    因此,在適用的情況下,我將提供對減值、整合和重組費用進行調整的結果和毛利率,但也會以不變貨幣提供,以幫助您更好地了解潛在的業務基本面。

  • Revenue was $22.2 billion, down 5% and down 2% in constant currency.

    收入為 222 億美元,下降 5%,按固定匯率計算下降 2%。

    提醒一下,去年包括我們在與諾基亞簽訂商業協議時確認的 3.82 億美元收入。

  • Significant gross margin improvement across commercial cloud, surface and our consumer services, helped to mitigate the impact on gross margin from the decline in D&C licensing.

    商業雲、表面和我們的消費者服務的毛利率顯著提高,有助於減輕 D&C 許可下降對毛利率的影響。

  • Overall, macro conditions remain a challenge in some large opportunity markets like China, Russia, Japan, and Brazil.

    總體而言,在中國、俄羅斯、日本和巴西等一些大型機會市場,宏觀條件仍然是一個挑戰。

  • There was slightly less impact from currency than our expectation.

    貨幣的影響略小於我們的預期。

    在這種背景下,我將開始詳細討論我們的結果。

  • Q4 last year effectively marked the end of the XP refresh cycle.

    去年第四季度有效地標誌著 XP 更新周期的結束。

  • It impacted our Windows OEM and non-annuity volume licensing, as well as our Office non-annuity volume licensing results.

    它影響了我們的 Windows OEM 和非年金批量許可,以及我們的 Office 非年金批量許可結果。

  • During that time, OEM revenue exceeded that of the underlying PC markets, driven by higher attach of Pro, particularly within the developed markets.

    在此期間,OEM 收入超過了基礎 PC 市場的收入,這是由 Pro 的更高附加值推動的,尤其是在發達市場。

  • This quarter, Pro declined by roughly 21%; and, similar to last quarter, we saw Pro attach from main at pre-XP levels, even with the underlying softness in the business PC market.

  • The consumer value, especially now that we have even all of the endpoints covered with Office, the definition of Office and where all is present, is also changed and that all accrues to consumers being willing to have this subscription relationship with us.

    消費者價值,特別是現在我們甚至已經覆蓋了 Office 的所有端點、Office 的定義以及所有存在的地方,也發生了變化,所有這些都歸功於願意與我們建立這種訂閱關係的消費者。

    在企業方面,增長對我們來說仍然非常令人興奮,並且增長有多種形式。

  • It comes in the form of just the EAs renewing more to Office 365.

    Phil,我要補充的一件事是我們在 Office 365 中看到的一個重要動態,因為我們正在建立這種勢頭,Satya 談到了我們正在添加的一些新客戶以及我們看到的方式那是安裝基數不斷增長。

  • And we were able to see that this quarter across all the core work loads in Office.

    - CEO

  • I started with the bold view that my server is not the legacy business.

    我從大膽的觀點開始,即我的服務器不是傳統業務。

  • We fundamentally think of our servers as the extension of the cloud, how you would describe it architecturally as the edge of our Cloud, every server for example has things like disaster recovery, backup and tier with the cloud.

    我們從根本上將我們的服務器視為雲的擴展,您如何在架構上將其描述為我們雲的邊緣,例如,每台服務器都具有災難恢復、備份和雲分層等功能。

  • And so we will continue to push that differentiation.

    因此,我們將繼續推動這種差異化。

  • Because I think that view architecturally and the delivery of it is what makes us pretty unique.

    因為我認為架構上的視圖和它的交付使我們非常獨特。

  • And you see it in the numbers.

    你可以在數字中看到它。

  • Our servers, even this quarter grew 9% and competitive industry peers we're obviously gaining share on Windows Server, on SQL server and pretty much all of our management and security products, as well.

    我們的服務器,即使在本季度也增長了 9%,在競爭激烈的行業同行中,我們顯然在 Windows Server、SQL Server 以及我們幾乎所有的管理和安全產品上都獲得了份額。

  • And going forward we have a fantastic lineup of servers, not just the infrastructure, but even SharePoint, Exchange, LINQ our server continues to have significant on-premise deployment.

    展望未來,我們擁有出色的服務器陣容,不僅是基礎架構,甚至 SharePoint、Exchange、LINQ,我們的服務器也繼續擁有重要的內部部署。

  • So as our cloud continues to grow, obviously we are getting where there is more capability in the cloud, we're incenting customers and our partners to move to the cloud.

    因此,隨著我們的雲繼續增長,顯然我們正在獲得云中更多功能的地方,我們正在激勵客戶和我們的合作夥伴遷移到雲。

  • But at the same time we are going to have a great server wave, I'm excited about our SQL product.

    但與此同時,我們將迎來一場偉大的服務器浪潮,我對我們的 SQL 產品感到興奮。

  • I think it goes into the first preview next, in fact tomorrow, and that product I think is a pretty revolutionary product.

    我認為它接下來會進入第一個預覽版,實際上是明天,我認為該產品是一個非常具有革命性的產品。

  • Because for the first time you could take a single table in a database and you would tier it with the cloud.

    因為您第一次可以在數據庫中獲取單個表,然後將其與雲分層。

  • And that kind of capability only we can provide and that's something that I'm looking forward to.

    只有我們才能提供這種能力,這是我所期待的。

  • - CFO

    - CFO

  • Brent, to your specific question on Windows Server 2003, we did have a good quarter, we talked about in Windows Server.

    Brent,對於您在 Windows Server 2003 上的具體問題,我們確實有一個不錯的季度,我們在 Windows Server 中談到了這一點。

  • But in general, that business, unlike the client upgrades that we've seen, just because so much of the business is already on annuity, you don't see that type of incremental impact in a in-quarter release.

    但總的來說,與我們看到的客戶端升級不同,該業務只是因為很多業務已經在年金上,所以您不會在季度發布中看到這種類型的增量影響。

  • That isn't to say there isn't ample opportunity for us to make sure we upgrade customers to the higher value prop and more secure and more manageable offerings we have in the server business.

    這並不是說我們沒有足夠的機會確保我們將客戶升級到更高價值的道具以及我們在服務器業務中擁有的更安全和更易於管理的產品。

  • Nice quarter.

    漂亮的季度。

  • When I drill in, in terms of move to the cloud, this quarter year over year server product and services revenue growth was slower than in the past quarters.

    當我深入研究時,就遷移到雲而言,本季度服務器產品和服務收入同比增長低於過去幾個季度。

  • How much of that is because you're seeing now some revenue shift to Azure?

    其中有多少是因為您現在看到一些收入轉移到了 Azure?

  • Or is it not yet seeing any revenue shift going?

    或者它還沒有看到任何收入轉移?

  • And then I have a follow-up question.

    然後我有一個後續問題。

  • - CFO

    - CFO

  • Why don't I take that one and we'll see what Mark's follow-up is.

    我為什麼不拿那個,我們會看看馬克的後續行動是什麼。

  • At 9% growth and continuing to take share, I feel like our performance in this continues to be a positive outlier to the peer group.

    在 9% 的增長並繼續佔據份額的情況下,我覺得我們在這方面的表現仍然是同行群體的積極異常值。

  • And for me, that type of performance and double-digits for the year I feel quite good about.

    對我來說,我對這一年的這種表現和兩位數感覺非常好。

  • In general what is interesting I think as you're getting to the crux of it is, do we have incremental work loads that are unique to the cloud that we continue to see that, the very best example, frankly, as Satya mentioned in his comments, which is our EMS performance, mobility suite offerings.

    總的來說,我認為有趣的是,當您進入關鍵問題時,我們是否有增量工作負載是我們繼續看到的雲所獨有的,坦率地說,這是最好的例子,正如 Satya 在他的評論,這是我們的 EMS 性能、移動套件產品。

  • It is taking something that is very unique, builds off of our core in the server business and allows us to both grow and add new perspectives there.

    它採用了非常獨特的東西,建立在我們的服務器業務核心之上,讓我們能夠在那裡成長並增加新的視角。

  • So I don't think of it as reflecting a bigger shift than we've seen in particular this quarter.

    所以我不認為它反映了比我們在本季度看到的更大的轉變。

  • Also, if you'll remember, a year ago we had a very big base of expirations in Q4 and had very strong performance a year ago.

    此外,如果您還記得,一年前我們在第四季度有一個非常大的到期基數,並且一年前表現非常強勁。

  • I don't look at it as a direct trend line.

    我不認為它是一條直接的趨勢線。

  • - CEO

    - CEO

  • Yes, the only thing I'll add is that I look at the total growth of Azure, the growth that's coming now from some of the premium services, this is businesses that actually did not ever participate on premise at all.

    是的,我要補充的唯一一點是,我看一下 Azure 的總體增長,現在來自一些高級服務的增長,這是實際上根本沒有參與的企業。

  • Even EMS, when I think our management, our management was just about Windows management.

    甚至 EMS,當我想到我們的管理時,我們的管理只是關於 Windows 管理。

  • But we now have management data protection and identity systems that cross all devices in the enterprise, including Internet of Things and that makes it pretty exciting and that growth is great to see.

    但是我們現在擁有跨企業所有設備的管理數據保護和身份系統,包括物聯網,這使得它非常令人興奮,而且這種增長令人欣喜。

  • Same thing on the server management.

    服務器管理也是如此。

  • We have a new suite called the operations management suite which also spans all of the cloud units as well as on-premise units.

    我們有一個名為運營管理套件的新套件,它也涵蓋所有云單元以及本地單元。

  • Cortana Analytics, we never participated in any of the advanced analytics work loads at all, in spite of the success we had in the database business.

    Cortana Analytics,儘管我們在數據庫業務中取得了成功,但我們從未參與任何高級分析工作負載。

  • So I'm excited about built new workloads that in many cases are born in the cloud workloads where we are expanding our market opportunity and continuing to outperform our peers and grab share when it comes to on-premise.

    因此,我對構建的新工作負載感到興奮,這些工作負載在許多情況下誕生於雲工作負載中,我們正在擴大我們的市場機會,並在本地部署方面繼續超越同行並搶占市場份額。

  • Switching gears a bit, on Windows, obviously you're seeing some amount of delay due to Windows 10 on the OEM side.

    在 Windows 上稍微切換一下檔位,顯然由於 OEM 端的 Windows 10,您會看到一些延遲。

  • Can you give maybe a little more higher color in terms of how you're thinking about that, how big a delay is it, how much we could see that starting to be replaced next quarter and beyond?

    就你的想法而言,你能否給出更高的顏色,延遲有多大,我們可以看到下個季度及以後開始取代多少?

  • - CEO

    - CEO

  • I'll take that and Amy you can add to it.

    我會接受的,Amy 你可以添加它。

  • The way the Windows ecosystem works is that there are phases to it.

    Windows 生態系統的工作方式是有幾個階段的。

  • In fact, if anything, this release of Windows 10 just the way we have built it with the insider a program, everything is of course speeding up because in some sense we have taken a very different approach with this Windows as a service, even when it comes to OEM relations and how they're able to co-create the products with us.

    事實上,如果有的話,這個版本的 Windows 10 就像我們用內部程序構建它的方式一樣,一切當然都在加速,因為在某種意義上,我們在這個 Windows 即服務中採取了非常不同的方法,即使當談到 OEM 關係以及他們如何能夠與我們共同創造產品。

  • That is there are three distinct phases.

    也就是說,存在三個不同的階段。

  • The first phase is what I would describe as the upgrade phase, that is what starts in a week's time.

    第一階段就是我所說的升級階段,也就是一周後開始的階段。

  • That is at more retail execution and upgrades.

    那是更多的零售執行和升級。

  • Then come the fall you will see the devices from all of the OEMs going into the holiday quarter.

    然後到了秋天,你會看到所有 OEM 的設備都進入了假日季。

  • And then the enterprise upgrades, in fact, we have a release of enterprise features which I mentioned in my script, which will ship in that time frame and I expect piloting to start and deployments to start in the second half of the fiscal year.

    然後是企業升級,事實上,我們發布了我在腳本中提到的企業功能,它將在那個時間範圍內發布,我預計將在本財年的下半年開始試點和部署。

  • So that's how I would think about the OEM as well as enterprise adoption.

    這就是我對 OEM 和企業採用的看法。

  • So my bullishness for Windows 10 is more in the second half of the fiscal year, and of course it will build.

    所以我對 Windows 10 的看好更多是在本財年的下半年,當然它會建立起來。

  • It will build starting in a week's time in retail and in the upgrades, but I sort of see this in three phases.

    它將在一周的零售和升級中開始構建,但我認為這分為三個階段。

  • - CFO

    - CFO

  • And to your specific question, Mark before every launch we tend to have a tightening in the channel as they prepare and run reasonably lean, this is a healthy state.

    對於您的具體問題,馬克在每次發布之前,我們傾向於收緊渠道,因為他們準備和運行合理精簡,這是一種健康的狀態。

  • It is within the range of normal.

    它在正常範圍內。

  • So I don't think of it as a delay in the way you're talking about it.

    所以我不認為這是你談論它的方式的延遲。

  • It is pretty standard, as Satya talked about in terms of the dynamic, and he mentioned we are feeling, I think, a lot of excitement from the ecosystem about what's possible with some of the new devices that will come, and so I don't really think of it in that way.

    這是非常標準的,正如薩蒂亞談到的動態,他提到我們感到,我認為,生態系統對即將到來的一些新設備的可能性感到非常興奮,所以我不知道。 t真的這麼想。

  • I think about it as an encouragement that they want to fill the channel as quickly as they can over the coming quarters with new machines.

    我認為這是一種鼓勵,他們希望在接下來的幾個季度用新機器盡快填補這個渠道。

  • I wanted to drill into sort of the new strategy around the phone business a little bit.

    我想深入研究一下圍繞電話業務的新戰略。

  • The revenue expectation for Q1, I think it was below our expectations, I think it was below what the street was looking for.

    第一季度的收入預期,我認為它低於我們的預期,我認為它低於街道的預期。

  • Can you give us a sense of how you see that business trending over a longer period of time.

    您能否告訴我們您如何看待該業務在較長時間內的趨勢。

  • There is significant restructuring going on.

    正在進行重大的重組。

  • I don't think a lot of guys have a good view in their head of what your expectation is for this business on a revenue run rate, or what do you expect to sell this year on going-forward basis right now?

    我認為很多人都沒有很好地了解您對這項業務在收入運行率方面的期望,或者您現在預計今年會賣什麼?

  • - CEO

    - CEO

  • Let me start and maybe you can add to this.

    讓我開始吧,也許你可以補充一下。

  • The big shift that we are making when it comes to phones is to not think about phones in isolation.

    在手機方面,我們正在做出的重大轉變是不要孤立地考慮手機。

  • That's perhaps the biggest shift.

    這也許是最大的轉變。

  • Because I think about Windows 10 in its entirety, the Windows ecosystem in its entirety.

    因為我從整體上考慮 Windows 10,從整體上考慮 Windows 生態系統。

  • We're clearly are going to have premium first party portfolio.

    我們顯然將擁有優質的第一方投資組合。

  • You have seen some of the numbers, some of the progress we have made in Surface.

    您已經看到了一些數字,以及我們在 Surface 上取得的一些進展。

  • I feel that we have a formula there that I would like to apply more broadly in terms of growing, just delivering innovation, growing our own economic return for it, stimulating demand, creating categories, all of that is what I want to do broadly.

    我覺得我們在那裡有一個公式,我想在增長方面更廣泛地應用它,只是提供創新,增加我們自己的經濟回報,刺激需求,創造類別,所有這些都是我想做的事情。

  • It applies to phones.

    它適用於手機。

  • It applies to Surface.

    它適用於 Surface。

  • It applies to HoloLens, and that is how I view it.

    它適用於 HoloLens,這就是我的看法。

  • I believe our participation in the phone segment by itself, the Windows phones and Lumia phones is important.

    我相信我們自己參與手機領域,Windows 手機和 Lumia 手機很重要。

  • That's why we picked the three areas where we have differentiation and we want to focus on it.

    這就是為什麼我們選擇了我們有差異化的三個領域並且我們想要專注於它。

  • We want to have great flagship phones for Windows.

    我們希望擁有出色的 Windows 旗艦手機。

  • That is actually a segment that we don't today have good devices and we hope to change that with Windows 10.

    這實際上是我們今天沒有好的設備的部分,我們希望通過 Windows 10 改變這一點。

  • We have in fact good traction in the business segment.

    事實上,我們在業務領域具有良好的吸引力。

  • So this is business customers who are actually buying phone devices which is basically a radio with a, you know, essentially a smartphone, to be able to deploy their line of business applications.

    所以這是商業客戶,他們實際上是在購買電話設備,基本上是一個收音機,你知道,本質上是一部智能手機,能夠部署他們的業務線應用程序。

  • That is where we have pretty unparalleled value.

    這就是我們擁有無與倫比的價值的地方。

  • Which is we have the Visual Studio online and some of the tools I talked about, so you can generate these apps at a low cost of ownership, manage them, secure them and deploy them to our phone end points and then of course, management and security.

    我們有在線 Visual Studio 和我談到的一些工具,因此您可以以較低的擁有成本生成這些應用程序、管理它們、保護它們並將它們部署到我們的手機端點,當然還有管理和安全。

  • That's the place where we want to continue to focus.

    這就是我們要繼續關注的地方。

  • And in the value of smartphone, that's the place I want us to be much more efficient.

    在智能手機的價值方面,這就是我希望我們提高效率的地方。

  • We clearly have some value to add there because of the uniqueness of Office and Skype and our services, but at the same time I think we want to be smart about how many of these phones do we want to generate?

    由於 Office 和 Skype 以及我們的服務的獨特性,我們顯然可以在那裡增加一些價值,但同時我認為我們想知道我們想要生產多少這樣的電話?

  • How many -- which price points we want to participate?

    有多少——我們想參與哪些價格點?

  • That's where you will see the most significant operational changes from how we operated last year to the coming year.

    在那裡,您將看到從我們去年到來年的運營方式最顯著的運營變化。

  • - CFO

    - CFO

  • So, Keith, the way that I think about it, I tried to outline it in my comments, is that the significant revenue declines quarter over quarter through the year are a reflection of the focused approach we're going to take in phone.

    因此,基思,我的想法是,我試圖在我的評論中概述它,全年收入季度環比大幅下降反映了我們將在電話領域採取的重點方法。

  • It is an approach that we've executed in other, hardware segment, that I feel is a proven model for us.

    這是我們在其他硬件領域執行的一種方法,我認為這對我們來說是一個經過驗證的模型。

  • Our profitability will also improve.

    我們的盈利能力也會提高。

  • More of that comes in the second half of the year structurally as we complete some of the restructuring efforts and those costs come out of our operating expense run rate.

    隨著我們完成一些重組工作,而這些成本來自我們的運營費用運行率,其中更多來自結構性的下半年。

  • But I think that's probably is the way to more appropriately think about over time you would expect to see gross margin improvement, and operating profit improvement, as opposed to focusing on the revenue line.

    但我認為這可能是更恰當地考慮隨著時間的推移你會看到毛利率改善和營業利潤改善的方式,而不是專注於收入線。

  • Can I sneak one more in on the security side of business?

    我可以在業務的安全方面再偷偷摸摸嗎?

  • I think a lot of guys talked about security something that Microsoft does to make their platform more secure and provide more confidence in users using your platforms and your tools.

    我認為很多人都談到了安全性,微軟為了讓他們的平台更安全,並讓使用你的平台和工具的用戶更有信心。

  • On a going-forward basis is there more of an opportunity for you guys to sell security as more of a standalone opportunity?

    在未來的基礎上,你們是否有更多的機會將證券作為一個獨立的機會出售?

  • It's something that is in very high demand, looking for more secure solutions.

    它的需求量非常大,正在尋找更安全的解決方案。

  • Is this something that could potentially be more of a standalone opportunity for Microsoft on a going-forward basis.

    在未來的基礎上,這對微軟來說可能更像是一個獨立的機會。

  • - CEO

    - CEO

  • We are adding significant value in security.

    我們正在增加安全性方面的重要價值。

  • It is much better for us, for example, to add capabilities around O365 and security, and that is all in for example the new suite that we just announced called E5, the secured lockbox.

    例如,添加圍繞 O365 和安全性的功能對我們來說要好得多,而這一切都在我們剛剛宣布的名為 E5 的新套件中,即安全密碼箱。

  • That is actually a very cool set of features that allow both regulators and businesses to have, for example, [audit] ability control over their movement to the cloud.

    這實際上是一組非常酷的功能,允許監管機構和企業擁有,例如,[審計]能力控制他們向雲的移動。

  • Similarly Azure, while we launched a whole set of security offers around how people can encrypt and manage keys, so those are all security features.

    與 Azure 類似,雖然我們圍繞人們如何加密和管理密鑰推出了一整套安全產品,但這些都是安全功能。

  • We bought a company called Erado that's essentially a firewall on all right identity management.

    我們收購了一家名為 Erado 的公司,它本質上是一個身份管理防火牆。

  • When we talk about enterprise management suite growth, a lot of it is obviously is management growth, but it is also security and data protection growth.

    當我們談論企業管理套件的增長時,很多顯然是管理增長,但也是安全和數據保護的增長。

  • So the approach we are taking is we are essentially creating to your point, security value around our products, which allows us to participate in essentially a security market that we never did in the ways that we are.

    因此,我們正在採取的方法是,我們本質上是在圍繞我們的產品創造安全價值,這使我們能夠參與本質上我們從未以我們現在的方式做過的安全市場。

  • So it's more than just launching one point security product.

    因此,它不僅僅是推出單點安全產品。

  • It's much more broadly participating in the security market and you have seen some of that in the inorganic moves and the suites we have created.

    它更廣泛地參與了安全市場,您已經在我們創建的無機移動和套件中看到了其中的一些。

  • - CFO

  • I do think over the long term you're right that is how I think about it and frankly inherent in the conversation around moving to the cloud, with the aggressive targets we've given that is sort of implied to your point, and so I think 100% is not the logical answer.

    我確實認為從長遠來看你是對的,這就是我的想法,坦率地說,這是圍繞遷移到雲的對話中固有的,我們給出的激進目標在某種程度上暗示了你的觀點,所以我認為 100% 不是合乎邏輯的答案。

  • There will always be somebody who chooses to purchase on a one-time basis, or there is a logic to it.

    總會有人選擇一次性購買,或者這是有邏輯的。

  • I mean, overall business process collaborations, communication, these category boundaries are things that I believe are going to change.

    我的意思是,整體業務流程協作、溝通、這些類別邊界是我認為將會改變的事情。

  • I've always felt that, you know, in some sense most of the time we even automate business processes would be spend really getting our business done in our communication and collaboration tools and these impedance is something that I've always dreamt of-- how do we could [solve] and CRM has taken our dynamic product has taken some pretty unique approaches, and quite frankly I want to open up our communications and collaborations for other CRM ventures.

    我一直覺得,你知道,在大多數情況下,我們甚至自動化業務流程都會花費在我們的通信和協作工具中真正完成我們的業務,而這些阻抗是我一直夢寐以求的——我們如何[解決] CRM 採用了我們的動態產品採用了一些非常獨特的方法,坦率地說,我想為其他 CRM 企業開放我們的溝通和協作。

  • One of the things that I am very explicit about is we will have an open platform for other business process applications because it is a very fragmented market world over, especially if you add SNB.

    我非常明確的一件事是我們將為其他業務流程應用程序提供一個開放平台,因為它是一個非常分散的市場世界,特別是如果您添加 SNB。

  • We want to be having a platform play as well as our own business applications play and both of them should be high growth for us.

    我們希望有一個平台遊戲以及我們自己的業務應用程序遊戲,它們對我們來說都應該是高增長的。

  • In the last year we've just adding more focus and we put more selling capacity around it, more marketing capacity and now of course have mainstreamed it across Microsoft.

    在過去的一年裡,我們只是增加了更多的關注點,我們圍繞它增加了更多的銷售能力,更多的營銷能力,現在當然已經將它納入微軟的主流。

  • I'm a big believer in this.

    我非常相信這一點。

  • Because I think we have something unique to add as opposed to driving our own top line, bottom line growth, I think we can bring real innovation and that is what is exciting to see.

    因為我認為我們有一些獨特的東西要添加,而不是推動我們自己的頂線、底線增長,我認為我們可以帶來真正的創新,這是令人興奮的。

  • It is not just CRM.

    它不僅僅是 CRM。

  • I'm actually excited about our ERP business, some of the numbers that Amy talked about is growth.

    我實際上對我們的 ERP 業務感到興奮,艾米談到的一些數字是增長。

  • When I think about data as the new currency, we have lots of managed seats and a lot of data, which all will move to the cloud and so things like [Power BI] and Cortana Analytics could help customers transform.

    當我將數據視為新貨幣時,我們擁有大量託管席位和大量數據,所有這些都將轉移到雲中,因此 [Power BI] 和 Cortana Analytics 之類的東西可以幫助客戶轉型。

  • So in fact, that's one of the reasons I'm very optimistic about our new data capabilities, is we have the attach capability to our install base dynamic.

    所以事實上,這就是我對我們的新數據功能非常樂觀的原因之一,我們有附加功能到我們的安裝基礎動態。

    艾米在成本控制方面的問題,看起來你又一次低於你的運營支出指南。

  • But I think that the COGS number came a little bit above what you had guided to three months ago, and I'm just wondering if you could talk through that, obviously it affects everybody's gross margin calculations.

    但我認為 COGS 數字略高於您三個月前的指導值,我只是想知道您是否可以討論一下,顯然它會影響每個人的毛利率計算。

  • Was it the hardware mix shift?

  • Because of the performance in Xbox and in Surface, you're right, it is a hardware mix shift a bit.

    由於 Xbox 和 Surface 的性能,你是對的,這是硬件組合的轉變。

  • We outperformed significantly in both those products in Q4, and that does, took a little bit outside the COGS range but not as much as our revenue outperformed.

    在第四季度,我們在這兩種產品中的表現都顯著優於其他產品,這確實超出了 COGS 範圍,但不如我們的收入表現出色。

  • So actually, margins structurally were better than I thought they would be.

    所以實際上,利潤率在結構上比我想像的要好。

  • And so actually I feel quite good with that outperformance and our ability to see that outperformance fall to the bottom line through stronger execution on gross margin percentage, particularly in that segment.

    因此,實際上我對這種出色的表現感到非常滿意,並且我們有能力通過更強的毛利率百分比執行來看到這種出色表現跌至底線,特別是在該細分市場。

  • There is definitely dev tests happening, there is production IaaS infrastructure as a service deployment, given some of the new high performance SKUs and storage options that we have.

    鑑於我們擁有的一些新的高性能 SKU 和存儲選項,肯定會進行開發測試,將生產 IaaS 基礎設施即服務部署。

  • And we are seeing significant adoptions of SQL, this is Azure DB, machine learning as a service.

    我們看到 SQL 的大量採用,這就是 Azure DB,機器學習即服務。

  • One of the things that we realize is that every company out there becomes a software company, beyond even our traditional reach to IT, everyone has a digital office inside the company.

    我們意識到的一件事是,每家公司都變成了一家軟件公司,甚至超出了我們對 IT 的傳統範圍,每個人在公司內部都有一個數字辦公室。

  • They're in fact doing things in advanced analytics, and using machine learning and that's the place where we have some very unique capabilities.

    他們實際上在做高級分析,並使用機器學習,這就是我們擁有一些非常獨特的能力的地方。

  • That is another place we're seeing wide adoption.

    這是我們看到廣泛採用的另一個地方。

  • We're seeing adoption in the building of new front ends, or back ends for new front ends, essentially using Azure as the cloud backend for their mobile apps across Android iOS and Windows as well as their web.

    我們看到在構建新的前端或新前端的後端方面得到採用,本質上是使用 Azure 作為其跨 Android iOS 和 Windows 以及他們的 Web 的移動應用程序的雲後端。

  • That is another use case that is high growth for us.

    這對我們來說是另一個高增長的用例。

  • And, of course, Cortana Analytics, this is the big data side of it.

    當然,還有 Cortana Analytics,這是它的大數據方面。

  • It is happening in IT, it is happening in as I said in digital offices within each one of the customers.

    它發生在 IT 中,正如我所說的,它發生在每個客戶的數字辦公室中。

  • So we have a pretty broad spectrum of use cases.

    所以我們有相當廣泛的用例。

  • Some of the customers have talked about even in the recent set of conferences, from our partner conference to our Ignite conference, we have in fact showcasing, even our ad campaign showcases some of these use cases.

    一些客戶甚至在最近的一系列會議中都談到了,從我們的合作夥伴會議到我們的 Ignite 會議,我們實際上已經展示了,甚至我們的廣告活動也展示了其中的一些用例。

    下一個問題,請。

  • Heather Bellini, Goldman-Sachs.

  • - Analyst

    - Analyst

  • Great, thank you.

    太好了謝謝。

  • I just had two questions, pretty quick ones.

    我只有兩個問題,很快。

  • Just to follow up on Azure.

    只是為了跟進 Azure。

  • I was wondering if you could share with us what you're seeing the mix between IaaS and PaaS and kind of how you have seen that shift evolve over the last few quarters.

    我想知道您是否可以與我們分享您所看到的 IaaS 和 PaaS 之間的混合,以及您如何看待過去幾個季度這種轉變的演變。

  • Secondly, just to follow up on Walter's question, yes, you definitely have been focussing on the customer relationship management opportunity in the financials market more, but given the big SaaS incumbent already competing in that area, can you share with us, do you think you have the assets you need internally to execute against your long-term goals?

    其次,為了跟進沃爾特的問題,是的,您確實一直在更多地關注金融市場中的客戶關係管理機會,但是鑑於大型 SaaS 現有企業已經在該領域競爭,您能否與我們分享一下,您認為您擁有內部執行長期目標所需的資產嗎?

  • - CEO

    - CEO

  • Sure.

    當然。

  • IaaS and SaaS is an interesting question.

    IaaS 和 SaaS 是一個有趣的問題。

  • I've not looked at it in isolation.

    我沒有孤立地看待它。

  • Because what happens is, at least the use cases, what starts off as IaaS suddenly will start using Azure for identity management, will use a little bit of our media services, for example, just doing content and end quoting.

    因為發生的情況是,至少在用例中,開始時 IaaS 突然開始使用 Azure 進行身份管理,將使用我們的一些媒體服務,例如,只做內容和結束引用。

  • So there is a mix always.

    所以總是有一個混合。

  • There is nothing pure PaaS, nothing pure IaaS.

    沒有純粹的 PaaS,也沒有純粹的 IaaS。

  • That is a trend I see.

    這是我看到的趨勢。

  • But it's split that we should go take a look at and then off-line maybe even talk about it.

    但是我們應該去看看然後離線甚至談論它是分裂的。

  • But overall we see significant amount of IaaS in the last year.

    但總的來說,我們在去年看到了大量的 IaaS。

  • Because that's probably in the place where we had more of a weakness which we have now overcome.

    因為那可能是我們現在克服了更多弱點的地方。

  • So we have seen significant growth of IaaS in the enterprise.

    因此,我們看到 IaaS 在企業中的顯著增長。

  • But the place where we continue to have significant differentiation is in some of these managed services at PaaS, and that I think is the mix on it.

    但是,我們繼續保持顯著差異化的地方在於 PaaS 的一些託管服務,我認為這就是它的混合。

  • And then on the Dynamics side I absolutely believe we have a huge opportunity, having sort of worked in business applications for a long time, first of all, the market is very fragmented.

    然後在動態方面,我絕對相信我們有一個巨大的機會,在業務應用程序中工作了很長時間,首先,市場非常分散。

  • I think people like to talk about leaders and there are clearly leaders when you go to the very top of the enterprise customers in segment.

    我認為人們喜歡談論領導者,當你談到細分企業客戶的最高層時,顯然有領導者。

  • But the way the markets flips into verticals and then into horizontals and then the platforms effect there's plenty of opportunity.

    但是市場轉變為垂直市場然後轉變為水平市場然後平台效應的方式有很多機會。

  • For sure you've got to be one of the players.

    當然,你必須成為其中的一員。

  • It will be three players, four players, or whatever.

    這將是三名球員,四名球員,或其他。

  • In every technology paradigm you want to be one of them.

    在每一種技術範式中,你都想成為其中的一員。

  • We only have a $2 billion plus dynamics business, I talked about the total number of seats and now we have this triple digit CRM on-line growth.

    我們只有 20 億美元以上的動態業務,我談到了席位總數,現在我們擁有三位數的 CRM 在線增長。

  • So I feel that we're in a good position and I feel that things we'll look at and even some of the inorganic means to keep growing it.

    所以我覺得我們處於一個很好的位置,我覺得我們會關注的東西,甚至是一些無機手段來保持它的發展。

  • In fact the field service acquisition I talked about in my script is an example of that.

    事實上,我在劇本中談到的現場服務收購就是一個例子。

  • So that's my bullishness on our business process prospects.

    這就是我對我們業務流程前景的看好。

  • - Analyst

  • Thanks for taking my question.

    感謝您提出我的問題。

  • First on OpEx, the guidance, Amy, is impressive.

    首先是運營支出,艾米的指導令人印象深刻。

  • I presume that fully accommodates the restructuring announced two weeks ago, and then last year you said core Microsoft ex NDS would be down slightly in OpEx.

    我想這完全適應了兩週前宣布的重組,然後去年你說核心微軟前 NDS 將在 OpEx 中略有下降。

  • I wondered if you can provide a similar comment for FY16 for core Microsoft ex phone?

    我想知道您是否可以為 2016 財年的核心微軟前手機提供類似的評論?

  • - CFO

    - CFO

  • Sure, I talked a little bit about it but let me go into a bit of detail of that.

    當然,我談了一點,但讓我詳細介紹一下。

  • I think the first half of your question was does the $32.1 billion to $32.4 billion full-year OpEx guide reflect the timing of the implementation of our restructuring.

    我認為你問題的前半部分是 321 億至 324 億美元的全年運營支出指南是否反映了我們實施重組的時機。

  • And it certainly does.

    確實如此。

  • And so what you can then see related the second half of your question, is that we are taking some of those savings and investing them back into the business in some of these key growth areas we've seen.

    因此,您可以看到與您問題的後半部分相關的內容是,我們正在利用其中的一些儲蓄並將其重新投資到我們已經看到的一些關鍵增長領域的業務中。

  • I outlined three on the call.

    我在電話中概述了三個。

  • The third one I probably could have expanded more on.

    第三個我可能可以擴展更多。

  • The first one is Windows 10.

    第一個是 Windows 10。

  • The second is the first party hardware, where we just had such terrific performance again this Q4.

    第二個是第一方硬件,我們在第四季度再次獲得瞭如此出色的表現。

  • And then finally the third bucket was about accelerating our commercial cloud lead.

    最後第三個桶是關於加速我們的商業雲領先優勢。

  • I do feel like in that area we could invest in Office 365, some of the new E5 capabilities, I look forward to adding sales capacity to take advantage of that.

    我確實覺得在那個領域我們可以投資 Office 365,一些新的 E5 功能,我期待增加銷售能力以利用它。

  • We'll also add sales capacities across some of the other opportunities we've seen broadly.

    我們還將在我們廣泛看到的其他一些機會中增加銷售能力。

  • So I look and see that as an opportunity to accelerate top line growth.

    因此,我將其視為加速收入增長的機會。

  • - CEO

    - CEO

  • One thing I'll just add, because a lot of folks even asked about our business process and business application, I want to build a long-term profitable business.

    我要補充一件事,因為很多人甚至詢問我們的業務流程和業務應用程序,我想建立一個長期盈利的業務。

  • In other words, one of the keys in biz app is you can always get into the trap of over spending in sales and marketing and not having long-term leverage at all.

    換句話說,商業應用程序的關鍵之一是你總是會陷入銷售和營銷過度支出的陷阱,而根本沒有長期影響力。

  • One of the things I feel very good about our position is how do you really build a long-term profitable business?

    我對我們的職位感到非常滿意的一件事是,您如何真正建立長期盈利的業務?

  • That is front and center to me.

    這對我來說是前沿和中心。

  • So we will not overspend on sales and marketing because we do believe the products are a different way to sell even business process applications because of the cloud and that is something we want to take advantage of.

    因此,我們不會在銷售和營銷上超支,因為我們確實相信,由於雲,這些產品甚至是銷售業務流程應用程序的不同方式,這是我們想要利用的東西。

  • - Analyst

    - Analyst

  • I had one quick follow up, if I could.

    如果可以的話,我有一個快速跟進。

  • That is helpful.

    這很有幫助。

  • On Analysts Day you did talk about I think it was 8% unit growth for the Office ecosystem over the last three years and sounds like you continued to see nice unit growth in Office.

    在分析師日,您確實談到了我認為過去三年 Office 生態系統的單位增長率為 8%,聽起來您繼續看到 Office 的單位增長率不錯。

  • How should we think about that going forward?

    我們應該如何看待未來的發展?

  • Are you fully expecting to continue to see unit growth?

    您是否完全期望繼續看到單位增長?

  • And also just a clarification.

    也只是一個澄清。

  • I think your customer lifetime value was based on existing SKUs.

    我認為您的客戶生命週期價值基於現有的 SKU。

  • So as you introduce E5 and others, does that open up potential for even higher customer lifetime value?

    因此,當您介紹 E5 和其他產品時,這是否為更高的客戶生命週期價值開闢了潛力?

  • - CFO

    - CFO

  • I do think the work was showed at the analyst meeting on the importance of increasing the install base across Office and Exchange, it did occur again this quarter.

    我確實認為這項工作在分析師會議上展示了增加 Office 和 Exchange 安裝基礎的重要性,它確實在本季度再次發生。

  • I feel good that we're staying on the trajectory that we showed and the projections.

    我感覺很好,我們保持在我們展示的軌跡和預測上。

  • I do continue to expect that to happen as we share back that last week in April.

    我確實希望這會發生,因為我們在 4 月的上週分享了這一點。

  • On the second half of your question.

    關於你問題的後半部分。

  • I tend to think, you're right, generically, each of the examples were quite different.

    我傾向於認為,你是對的,一般來說,每個例子都是完全不同的。

  • There were people that were upgrading from X to Y, there were people that were just simply moving to the cloud.

    有些人從 X 升級到 Y,有些人只是簡單地遷移到雲端。

  • But one of the things that the cloud, to your point makes fundamentally possible, is the opportunity for us to quickly iterate the opportunities, build value and deploy it more quickly to customers, and generally I do think that they will pay us for that, to your specific question.

    但是,就您而言,雲從根本上成為可能的一件事是,我們有機會快速迭代機會,建立價值並將其更快地部署給客戶,通常我認為他們會為此付費,針對您的具體問題。

  • I also think the importance of it is that it tends to also come with higher margins.

    我還認為它的重要性在於它往往也會帶來更高的利潤率。

  • So our improvement and continued improvement in our commercial cloud gross margin portfolio, I think this is a key criteria of that.

    因此,我們在商業雲毛利率組合方面的改進和持續改進,我認為這是其中的一個關鍵標準。

  • So I associate it, yes, with lifetime value, I also associate our ability to move our gross margin percentage up.

    所以我將它與終身價值聯繫起來,我還將我們提高毛利率百分比的能力聯繫起來。

  • - Analyst

  • Yes, thanks, just one last one just on M&A.

    是的,謝謝,最後一個是關於併購的。

  • Maybe you could just talk through any change in the strategy, obviously what is happening with the peer write-down, the security acquisition, going into fiscal year, how you're thinking about M&A in the scheme of everything, especially you guys have proved tight on cost control and everything else.

    也許你可以談談戰略的任何變化,很明顯,同行減記發生了什麼,證券收購,進入財政年度,你在一切計劃中如何考慮併購,尤其是你們已經證明嚴格控製成本和其他一切。

  • Thanks.

    謝謝。

  • - CEO

    - CEO

  • Overall and the way I look at it is -- first of all, I'm most focused, on obviously, our organic growth, and in there, Amy alluded to this, we made significant changes in how we have allocated our own organic dollars, both in R&D as well as in sales and marketing.

    總的來說,我看待它的方式是——首先,顯然,我最關注的是我們的有機增長,在那裡,艾米提到了這一點,我們在分配我們自己的有機資金的方式上做出了重大改變,無論是在研發方面,還是在銷售和營銷方面。

  • And we'll continue to do that because I think there is significant new opportunities for us to go after, and that will require us to just reallocate aggressively and that to me is core.

    我們將繼續這樣做,因為我認為我們有重要的新機會去追求,這將要求我們積極地重新分配,而這對我來說是核心。

  • But beyond that we will look at inorganic means.

    但除此之外,我們將研究無機手段。

  • When I look at all of the acquisitions that we have made over the course of the last year, and our OpEx guidance for next year, shows how disciplined we are in bringing new talent in.

    當我查看我們在過去一年中進行的所有收購以及我們對明年的運營支出指導時,可以看出我們在引進新人才方面是多麼自律。

  • Be it in R&D, be it in sales and marketing.

    無論是研發,還是銷售和營銷。

  • So we are not afraid to bring in new capability.

    所以我們不害怕引入新的能力。

  • But I'm also questioning what is the allocation we have.

    但我也質疑我們的分配是多少。

  • Of course, we have done smaller acquisitions, but they add up, they're pretty significant.

    當然,我們進行了較小的收購,但它們加起來非常重要。

  • When you add up all of the things that we have done in the Office 365 space, all of the things we have done in the Azure space.

    當您將我們在 Office 365 空間中所做的所有事情加起來時,我們在 Azure 空間中所做的所有事情。

  • So we'll continue to do that.

    所以我們將繼續這樣做。

  • And if anything comes up in M&A which allows us to pursue our strategic vision, that we will need to even allocate more to on an OpEx basis, post acquisition, we will look at that.

    如果併購中出現任何讓我們能夠追求我們的戰略願景的事情,我們甚至需要在運營支出的基礎上分配更多資金,收購後,我們會考慮這一點。

  • So I won't shy away from it, because what's important to us is growth in areas where we have something unique to contribute and long-term profitability.

    所以我不會迴避它,因為對我們來說重要的是在我們有獨特貢獻和長期盈利能力的領域實現增長。
