  • My commentary for both the full year and next quarter does not include any impact from GitHub, which we still expect to close by the end of the calendar year.

    我對全年和下一季度的評論不包括來自 GitHub 的任何影響,我們仍預計它將在日曆年年底前結束。

  • Overall, the key drivers and trends of our business for the next fiscal year remain largely unchanged from April and assume a consistent macro environment.

    總體而言,我們下一財年業務的主要驅動因素和趨勢與 4 月份基本保持不變,並假設宏觀環境保持一致。

  • First on FX.

    首先是外匯。

  • Assuming that rates remain stable, we expect no impact to full year revenue growth, with any FX benefits in H1 offset in H2.

    假設利率保持穩定,我們預計不會對全年收入增長產生影響,上半年的任何外匯收益都會在下半年抵消。

  • FX should decrease COGS and operating expense growth by 1 point.

    外匯應將銷貨成本和運營費用增長降低 1 個百分點。

  • Second, our commercial business.

    第二,我們的商業業務。

  • Given corporate IT spend optimism and increasing demand for cloud services, our strong competitive product position and consistent sales execution, we expect another year of strong revenue growth and higher annuity mix across commercial business.

    鑑於企業 IT 支出樂觀和對雲服務的需求不斷增長、我們強大的競爭產品地位和持續的銷售執行,我們預計整個商業業務的收入將再有一年強勁增長和更高的年金組合。

  • As customer commitment to our cloud increases, we are seeing larger and longer-term agreements.

    隨著客戶對我們雲的承諾增加,我們看到了更大、更長期的協議。

  • As a result, we may see increased quarterly volatility in commercial bookings growth and commercial unearned revenue.

    因此,我們可能會看到商業預訂增長和商業未實現收入的季度波動性增加。

  • Productivity and Business Processes should continue to grow double digits, driven by Office 365, Dynamics 365 and LinkedIn.

    在 Office 365、Dynamics 365 和 LinkedIn 的推動下,生產力和業務流程應繼續增長兩位數。

  • Customer demand for our hybrid offerings should drive high teens growth in our server products and cloud services KPI.

    客戶對我們的混合產品的需求應該會推動我們的服務器產品和雲服務 KPI 的高速增長。

    第三,商業雲毛利率百分比。

  • We expect continued improvement in each commercial cloud service as well as in the overall commercial cloud gross margin percentage.

    我們預計每項商業雲服務以及整體商業雲毛利率將持續改善。

    對商業雲、LinkedIn、遊戲和人工智能的投資應該會導致運營費用增長約 7%。

  • Even with these strategic investments and the continued shift to our cloud businesses, we expect operating margin to be up slightly year-over-year.

    即使有這些戰略投資和繼續轉向我們的雲業務,我們預計營業利潤率將同比略有上升。

  • Other income and expense should be slightly negative, in line with prior guidance and with quarterly variability, primarily due to changes in FX remeasurement, interest rates and valuation changes with the adoption of the new accounting rules for financial investments.

    其他收入和支出應略有負數,與先前的指導一致,並且隨著季度變化,主要是由於採用新的金融投資會計規則導致外匯重新計量、利率和估值變化的變化。

  • And finally, tax rate.

    最後,稅率。

  • We've refined our estimates of the impacts from TCJA, the mix of service versus license revenue and the geographic mix of revenue and now expect our FY '19 effective tax rate to be roughly 17%, with quarterly variability.

    我們已經完善了對 TCJA 的影響、服務與許可收入的組合以及收入的地理組合的估計,現在預計我們 19 財年的有效稅率約為 17%,並存在季度變化。

  • Now to the outlook for first quarter.

    現在來看第一季度的展望。

  • First, FX.

    首先,外匯。

  • Assuming current rates remain stable, we expect FX to increase revenue growth by approximately 1 point and decrease COGS and operating expenses by 1 point.

    第二,我們的商業業務。

  • Now to the segment guidance.

    現在進行細分指導。

  • In Productivity and Business Processes, we expect revenue between $9.25 billion and $9.45 billion, driven by double-digit growth in Office commercial and Dynamics.

    在生產力和業務流程方面,我們預計收入在 92.5 億美元至 94.5 億美元之間,這得益於 Office 商業和動態業務的兩位數增長。

    在更多個人計算方面,我們預計收入在 99.5 億美元至 102.5 億美元之間。

  • In Surface, we continue to expect strong performance from our latest editions, including the new Surface Go, to drive growth similar to Q1 of the prior year.

    在 Surface 方面,我們繼續期待我們最新版本(包括新的 Surface Go)的強勁表現,以推動與去年第一季度相似的增長。

  • Other income and expense is expected to be approximately negative $100 million.

  • Congratulations on the really nice quarter.

    祝賀這個非常好的季度。

  • I wanted to dig into Azure a little bit.

    我想深入了解一下 Azure。

  • I think growth overall in Azure this quarter is probably ahead of most people's expectations.

    我認為本季度 Azure 的整體增長可能超出了大多數人的預期。

  • And it sounds like the type of business that's being done on Azure is becoming more strategic and changing a little bit.

    聽起來,在 Azure 上開展的業務類型正在變得更具戰略性並發生了一些變化。

  • So Satya, I was hoping you could talk to us a little bit about the types of workloads, the type of sort of services that are being used on Azure, how that's evolved over the past year.

    Satya,我希望你能和我們談談工作負載的類型,Azure 上使用的服務類型,以及過去一年的發展情況。

  • And Amy, for you, maybe there's a new KPI, I believe, you gave us sort of the growth in the Enterprise Mobility up 55%.

    艾米,對你來說,也許有一個新的 KPI,我相信,你讓我們的企業移動性增長了 55%。

  • Was that in line with your expectations because I know you were sort of tempering our expectations on growth in that part of the business?

    這是否符合您的期望,因為我知道您在某種程度上緩和了我們對這部分業務增長的期望?

  • Is that growing in line with kind of the slowdown you were expecting?

    這是否與您預期的放緩相符?

  • Or is that better than you had imagined?

    還是比你想像的要好?

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Yes, so let me -- first of all, thanks, Keith, for the question, and so let me start.

    是的,讓我來——首先,謝謝Keith 的提問,讓我開始吧。

  • Overall, in terms of the workload mix, it's been fairly stable, which is our hybrid value proposition really is -- continued to resonate, so that means there is a bunch of workloads that are migrating to the cloud.

    總體而言,就工作負載組合而言,它相當穩定,這正是我們的混合價值主張——繼續引起共鳴,這意味著有大量工作負載正在遷移到雲中。

  • People use both Azure Stack plus Azure, so that continues to drive a lot of IaaS growth for us as people are sort of looking basically to lift and shift a lot of their current data center workloads.

    人們同時使用 Azure Stack 和 Azure,因此這繼續為我們推動大量 IaaS 增長,因為人們基本上希望提升和轉移他們當前的許多數據中心工作負載。

  • Then, on top of it, we even have a modernization of apps that is accelerating, and that drives a lot of the higher-level services, in particular, our data services as well as our AI services when AI services are essentially compute, but what happens is all this compute then requires storage and data, and that's another place where we see increasing acceleration.

    然後,除此之外,我們甚至還有一個正在加速的應用程序現代化,這推動了許多更高級別的服務,特別是我們的數據服務以及我們的人工智能服務,當人工智能服務本質上是計算時,但是發生的事情是所有這些計算都需要存儲和數據,這是我們看到加速增加的另一個地方。

  • The one thing that I would say that I'm increasingly seeing is Tier 1 workloads.

    我會說我越來越多地看到的一件事是第 1 層工作負載。

  • In some sense, when we think about some of the commitments being made by some of the biggest brands in the world in terms of what they're doing, one, it's very core to their operation.

    從某種意義上說,當我們考慮世界上一些最大的品牌在他們所做的事情方面做出的一些承諾時,第一,這是他們運營的核心。

  • And two, they're running it in the cloud.

    第二,他們在雲中運行它。

  • And so that's one thing that definitely is a market difference for us.

    所以這對我們來說絕對是市場差異的一件事。

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • And to your question on the per user services, specifically Enterprise Mobility, Keith, it was a bit better than I had anticipated in Q4.

    對於您關於每用戶服務的問題,特別是企業移動性,Keith,這比我在第四季度的預期要好一些。

  • And really, the driver of these per user services such as EMS actually is the value proposition that Satya refers to and we refer to as Microsoft 365, and we saw strength broadly.

    實際上,這些按用戶服務(例如 EMS)的驅動力實際上是 Satya 所指的價值主張,我們稱之為 Microsoft 365,我們廣泛地看到了實力。

  • And if you think about that, it's the Windows commercial, it's Office 365 commercial and EMS.

    如果您考慮一下,這是 Windows 商業、Office 365 商業和 EMS。

  • And really that, I think, what we've heard a lot was the value of the security and management continuing to add more supported endpoints offer really tremendous value to customers, and we did see a bit more strength than I was anticipating in Q4.

    事實上,我認為,我們聽到的很多是安全和管理的價值,繼續添加更多受支持的端點,為客戶提供了真正巨大的價值,我們確實看到了比我在第四季度預期的更多的力量。

    Karl Emil Keirstead - Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst

  • Congrats on a good quarter.

    祝賀一個好季度。

  • Amy, the commercial unearned revenue and bookings were again super strong, and evidently, Microsoft is benefiting from fairly strong EA renewal activity.

    艾米,商業不勞而獲的收入和預訂再次超強,顯然,微軟正在從相當強勁的 EA 更新活動中受益。

  • So when you look out into fiscal '19, how would you compare the degree of renewal activity versus fiscal '18 and fiscal '17?

    因此,當您查看 '19 財年時,您如何比較更新活動與 '18 財年和 '17 財年的程度?

  • It sounds like you're still constructive, but I'd love to hear some color, whether it feels as good as the fiscal year you just ended.

    聽起來你仍然很有建設性,但我很想听聽一些顏色,不管感覺和你剛剛結束的財政年度一樣好。

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • Thanks, Karl.

    謝謝,卡爾。

  • Let me break up that question a little bit because you actually asked a couple of things that are important.

    讓我稍微分解一下這個問題,因為您實際上問了一些重要的事情。

  • Number one, the unearned strength that we saw at the end of Q4, you're right, was very good execution on renewals on a reasonably large renewal base.

    第一,我們在第四季度末看到的不勞而獲的力量,你是對的,在相當大的續約基礎上,續約執行非常好。

  • But there was also very good execution of adding new workloads, adding new opportunity in Q4, things such as Azure, as an example, or Dynamics 365, as an example.

    但在第四季度添加新工作負載、增加新機會方面也有很好的執行,例如 Azure 或 Dynamics 365 等。

  • So really, Q4 wasn't just renewal activity, it was also new workloads and new value.

    所以真的,第四季度不僅僅是更新活動,它也是新的工作量和新的價值。

  • So when you look into '19, I am optimistic on both of those fronts, good execution continuing on renewals as well as adding new value and new opportunity.

    因此,當您查看 19 年時,我對這兩個方面都持樂觀態度,續約的良好執行以及增加新價值和新機會。

  • And the third component of your question was really how did the renewal base correlate to FY '18.

    您問題的第三個組成部分實際上是續訂基礎與 18 財年有何關聯。

  • The answer is it's a little bigger but it actually has the same amount of volatility quarter-to-quarter.

    答案是它稍微大一點,但實際上每個季度的波動量是一樣的。

  • So Q1's renewal base is actually almost equivalent to last year.

    所以Q1的續訂基數其實和去年差不多。

  • The next question is coming from the line of Heather Bellini with Goldman Sachs.

    下一個問題來自高盛集團的 Heather Bellini。

  • Heather Anne Bellini - MD & Analyst

    Heather Anne Bellini - MD & Analyst

  • I was wondering, Amy or Satya, if you can help us think about how Azure Hybrid Benefit has changed the type of net expansion rate you're experiencing on your ELAs that come up for renewal.

    我想知道,Amy 或 Satya,您是否可以幫助我們思考 Azure 混合權益如何改變您在即將更新的 ELA 上遇到的淨擴展率類型。

  • And I know you were kind of a little bit touching on that with Karl, but is there any way to help think about how that, in particular, might be helping the expansion rate to those accounts?

    我知道你和 Karl 有點接觸過,但是有什麼方法可以幫助思考這可能如何幫助這些賬戶的擴張速度?

  • And can you help us think about how this might be -- how that might be helping drive growth in your existing contracts?

    您能否幫助我們思考一下這可能會如何 - 這可能如何幫助推動您現有合同的增長?

  • And then, the other question would be, you mentioned that you're moving from per user consumption that you're going to see more growth in consumption-based services versus per user Azure workload growth.

    然後,另一個問題是,你提到你正在從每用戶消費轉變為你將看到基於消費的服務的增長與每用戶 Azure 工作負載的增長相比。

  • And I'm just kind of wondering if you could share with us, is there any gross margin impact there?

    我只是想知道您是否可以與我們分享,那裡有毛利率影響嗎?

  • Does one have higher gross margins than the other?

    一個的毛利率是否比另一個高?

  • Is there anything that we should be taking from how you're parsing those comments about how we think of Azure's gross margin progression going forward?

    我們應該從您如何解析這些關於我們如何看待 Azure 未來毛利率進展的評論中得到什麼?

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Thanks, Heather.

    謝謝,希瑟。

  • So on the first one, I actually think that these hybrid use benefits have been sort of the best kept secrets.

    所以在第一個方面,我實際上認為這些混合使用的好處一直是最保守的秘密。

  • So I'm actually hoping that going into this next fiscal year, we do a much better job and customers do a much better job for their own benefit because the advantage Azure has because of the hybrid use benefits across the entire workload are pretty phenomenal.

    因此,我實際上希望進入下一個財政年度,我們做得更好,客戶也能更好地為他們自己的利益做好工作,因為 Azure 的優勢在於整個工作負載的混合使用優勢非常顯著。

  • And we had a good set of sessions at our partner meetings this week, just really making sure everybody understands those benefits.

    本週我們在合作夥伴會議上進行了一系列很好的會議,確保每個人都了解這些好處。

  • So I don't think that that has really played out.

    所以我認為這並沒有真正發揮作用。

  • If we have seen anything, all the growth we have seen is in spite of that not being broadly really driving growth.

    如果我們看到了什麼,我們看到的所有增長都是儘管沒有廣泛地真正推動增長。

  • But to your second question, I'll even say the following, which is that I think there is clearly a difference in GM between the per user and consumption.

    但是對於你的第二個問題,我什至會說以下幾點,我認為每個用戶和消費之間的GM顯然存在差異。

  • But the key is even the consumption services come in different forms.

    但關鍵是,就連消費服務也有不同的形式。

  • There is the IaaS services, there is the data services and some of the higher-level services.

    有 IaaS 服務,有數據服務和一些更高級別的服務。

  • Some of these IoT services now even have SaaS components to it.

    其中一些物聯網服務現在甚至具有 SaaS 組件。

  • So therefore, I think that the mix will be different by quarter by quarter.

    因此,我認為每個季度的組合都會有所不同。

  • And I would say, Heather, on those 2 components, just to add, the Azure hybrid benefits, I think we're starting, as Satya said, we started to see some impact from that, in my opinion, in Q4 in the on-prem KPI.

    我想說,Heather,在這兩個組件上,只是為了添加 Azure 混合的好處,我認為我們正在開始,正如 Satya 所說,我們開始看到一些影響,在我看來,在第四季度-prem KPI。

  • But it really was more in Windows.

    但它確實更多地出現在 Windows 中。

  • And the value, as we continue to see in SQL next year, I do think there's some opportunity for customers to realize real value from these hybrid benefits.

    而且價值,正如我們明年在 SQL 中繼續看到的那樣,我確實認為客戶有機會從這些混合優勢中實現真正的價值。

  • And so it sort of adds confidence to my high teens KPI growth for the year is that this is a very customer value-oriented offer.

    因此,這增加了我今年高青少年 KPI 增長的信心,因為這是一個非常以客戶價值為導向的產品。

  • To your question on GM, Satya's obviously correct on that one.

    對於你關於通用汽車的問題,薩蒂亞顯然是正確的。

  • And I would say, the way we think about it is actually more -- when you talk about Azure per user, it really does move more with M365 per user.

    我想說的是,我們考慮它的方式實際上更多——當你談論每個用戶的 Azure 時,它確實在每個用戶的 M365 上移動得更多。

  • It's almost better to put that in your mind as behaving more and having margin structures more like Office 365 and behave quite similarly.

    最好把它放在你的腦海中,因為它的行為更多並且具有更像 Office 365 的邊距結構並且行為非常相似。

  • It tends to have good quarters when we do good execution on Office 365.

    Mark L. Moerdler - Senior Research Analyst

  • Congratulations on the quarter.

    祝賀本季度。

  • So I have 2 related questions.

    所以我有兩個相關的問題。

  • The first is if you look at this quarter at Intelligent Cloud revenue, it grew 23% and the gross margin dollars grew the same 23%.

    首先,如果你看一下本季度智能雲收入,它增長了 23%,毛利率也增長了 23%。

  • Given the fast-growing lower-margin Azure business, we're not seeing any longer negative margin impact.

    鑑於快速增長的利潤率較低的 Azure 業務,我們不會再看到任何負面的利潤率影響。

  • Have you reached the point where the incremental dollar of Azure revenue is close to the overall Intelligent Cloud gross margin?

    您是否已達到 Azure 收入增量接近整體智能雲毛利率的地步?

  • And then, a second, I apologize, slightly long question.

    然後,我道歉,有點長的問題。

  • CapEx spending in the quarter and the full year were both strong.

    本季度和全年的資本支出支出均強勁。

  • We could argue 2 possibilities, it's driven by all the capacity demand or you're having to spend a lot of it on replacing equipment as they're aging out.

    我們可以爭論 2 種可能性,它是由所有容量需求驅動的,或者您必須花費大量資金來更換設備,因為它們已經老化。

  • How should we think about the mix in CapEx between building demand and replacing what's there?

    我們應該如何考慮構建需求和替換現有資產之間的資本支出組合?

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • Let me take both those.

    讓我把這兩個都拿走。

  • On the first one, in terms of the GM this quarter, you're right.

    在第一個方面,就本季度的通用汽車而言,你是對的。

  • The improvements, particularly in the IaaS and PaaS gross margin of Azure did offset the cloud mix to Azure within the segment.

    這些改進,尤其是 Azure 的 IaaS 和 PaaS 毛利率確實抵消了該細分市場中與 Azure 的雲組合。

  • Going forward, continuing to see that.

    展望未來,繼續看到這一點。

  • I think we'll see more pressure on gross margin just because the amount of Azure in the mix at the rate it's growing, we're still not at that point where $1 of gross margin in the cloud is equivalent to $1 of on-prem.

    我認為我們會看到毛利率面臨更大的壓力,因為 Azure 的數量以它的增長速度增長,我們仍然沒有達到雲中 1 美元的毛利率等於 1 美元的本地部署的水平.

  • That being said, we have a lot, as you saw this quarter, room to grow gross margin dollars in that within -- even within that frame going into FY '19.

    話雖如此,正如您在本季度所看到的那樣,我們有很多空間可以在其中增長毛利率 - 即使在進入 19 財年的框架內也是如此。

  • On your second question in terms of capital spend, if you think about it at a high level, our capital expenditures are growing at a lower rate than our overall cloud revenue is growing.

    關於資本支出的第二個問題,如果你從高層次上考慮,我們的資本支出增長速度低於我們整體雲收入的增長速度。

  • And that's why you're starting to see leverage, right, flow through the P&L.

    這就是為什麼你開始看到槓桿作用在損益表中流動。

  • And I think that the rate of CapEx growth, as I said, in FY '19 will moderate.

    正如我所說,我認為 19 財年的資本支出增長率將會放緩。

  • That happens because, of course, we're doing some replacement but we're also adding regions and seeing a lot of global demand.

    發生這種情況是因為,當然,我們正在做一些更換,但我們也在增加地區並看到大量的全球需求。

  • And so, we're actually -- and improving margins.

    因此,我們實際上正在提高利潤率。

  • So I think that's -- when I put it at a very high level as you asked the question, I tend to think revenue's growing faster than my capital, you're seeing leverage through the P&L, and we'll see a moderating rate in FY '19 even if Q1 is a big quarter.

    所以我認為這是——當我把它放在一個非常高的水平時,我傾向於認為收入增長快於我的資本,你通過損益看到槓桿作用,我們會看到一個放緩的速度19 財年,即使第一季度是一個大季度。

  • It's just going to be volatile, as CapEx tends to be, quarter-to-quarter based on both supply chain and demand.

    它只是會波動,因為資本支出往往是基於供應鍊和需求的季度到季度。

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • Thanks, Walter.

    謝謝,沃爾特。

  • The entire impact in that KPI, I actually feel very good about that number because, if you think about the $1 billion-plus beat we had to the unearned, it was partially due to the fact that we had very good mix shift to Office 365 in terms of billings in the quarter.

    該 KPI 的整體影響,我實際上對這個數字感覺非常好,因為如果您考慮到我們不得不為不勞而獲的 10 億美元以上的節拍,部分原因是我們向 Office 365 進行了非常好的混合轉換就本季度的賬單而言。

  • Almost very little of that gets recognized in quarter.

    幾乎沒有什麼在季度得到認可。

  • It almost all goes to the balance sheet.

    這幾乎都進入了資產負債表。

  • So my confidence for FY '19 in that number being the double digits we talked about in the full year guide only gets raised by seeing that execution.

    因此,我對 19 財年的信心是我們在全年指南中談到的兩位數,只有通過看到執行情況才能提高。

  • So it is really 606-related is the way to think about it, plus a mix of billings and billings strength.

    所以真的是606相關的就是這樣想的,加上billings和billings的組合實力。

  • So I don't really think about that as being a negative.

    所以我真的不認為這是消極的。

  • Sure.

    當然。

  • Let me frame it first as the things that I and we are seeing really customer-driven, which is, if you start with Windows 10 and the value that customers see and what we are seeing is accelerating enterprise deployment of Windows 10.

    首先讓我把它描述為我和我們看到的真正由客戶驅動的東西,也就是說,如果您從 Windows 10 開始,客戶看到的價值以及我們看到的正在加速 Windows 10 的企業部署。

  • When that happens, it does create demand for new devices and modern devices that improve security.

    當這種情況發生時,它確實會產生對提高安全性的新設備和現代設備的需求。

  • So that then, in turn, results in a better and stronger overall OEM PC commercial market.

    因此,反過來又會產生一個更好、更強大的整體 OEM PC 商業市場。

  • In addition, because the macroeconomic conditions are actually quite good on this front and with some business optimism creating some wind at our back, I also think people look and say, "If security and value are important, this is a great time to invest in modern PCs." And particularly in markets where Pro mix has been strong, I continue to expect to see all of those things happen through the course of next year.

    此外,由於這方面的宏觀經濟狀況實際上相當好,一些商業樂觀情緒在我們背後製造了一些風,我也認為人們會說,“如果安全和價值很重要,那麼現在是投資的好時機現代電腦。”尤其是在 Pro mix 一直很強勁的市場中,我繼續期待在明年看到所有這些事情發生。

  • Now what you will see, however, if all those things even do remain true, which I expect them to if the economic environment stays the same, H2, where we've had really strong revenue growth and a really strong market, will, I think, moderate growth-wise just because the base it was coming off of in '17 was just a lot lower.

    然而,現在你會看到,如果所有這些事情都保持真實,如果經濟環境保持不變,我預計它們會如此,H2,我們已經實現了非常強勁的收入增長和非常強勁的市場,我將,我想想看,適度增長只是因為它在 17 年的基數要低得多。

  • So even if I see all the good things and good trends happening that I feel really create a great opportunity for us to sell Microsoft 365, you will see growth rates moderate in H2.

    因此,即使我看到所有好事情和好趨勢正在發生,我認為這確實為我們銷售 Microsoft 365 創造了一個很好的機會,你也會看到下半年的增長率適中。

  • So we don't split this into there's an edge computing, there's a cloud computing.

    所以我們不會把它分成邊緣計算和雲計算。

  • The need for computing is, on a secular basis, going to increase.

    在長期的基礎上,對計算的需求將會增加。

  • And as you need to reason over large amounts of data, you need not only storage and compute to be colocated all over as the world gets embedded with computing.

    由於您需要對大量數據進行推理,因此隨著世界嵌入計算,您不僅需要將存儲和計算集中在一起。

  • That's what we are building for.

  • So if you think about our real competitive advantage and differentiation is, we have one programming model, one identity model, security, management so that modern developers as well as IT can use the compute available from Azure Sphere to Azure.

    因此,如果您考慮我們真正的競爭優勢和差異化,我們擁有一種編程模型、一種身份模型、安全性和管理,因此現代開發人員和 IT 可以使用從 Azure Sphere 到 Azure 的可用計算。

  • And the reality is these modern workloads, in fact, use it all.

    而現實情況是,這些現代工作負載實際上都在使用它們。

  • So it's not like I just build an Azure Sphere application.

  • I build an application that's fundamentally distributed that also happens to run some compute on Azure Sphere.

    我構建了一個從根本上分佈式的應用程序,它也恰好在 Azure Sphere 上運行一些計算。

  • I think it's very disruptive in the marketplace because it brings a very different value proposition.

    我認為它在市場上非常具有破壞性,因為它帶來了非常不同的價值主張。

  • It has a price advantage and a value advantage for customers and in what is fundamentally a fragmented market, this is not business applications, never was and never will be a winner-take-all.

    它對客戶而言具有價格優勢和價值優勢,並且在從根本上來說是一個分散的市場中,這不是業務應用程序,從來都不是,也永遠不會是贏家通吃。

  • High share is considered 20%, 35% or what have you.

  • So in some sense, this one has always been about being able to serve customers, especially in an increasing digitization world, right, which is the need for more business process automation is increasing.

    所以從某種意義上說,這一直是關於能夠為客戶服務,尤其是在一個日益數字化的世界中,對,這就是對更多業務流程自動化的需求正在增加。

  • Take an IoT project, it translates into a preventive maintenance in Azure and then ends up as field service in Dynamics.

  • So really, as we continue to redefine what Office means from something that people have always associated with Word, Excel and PowerPoint to things that mean mobile or video with stream or collaboration with Teams, I think we have opportunity to continue to add those new users, new types of users that we haven't had access before and new capabilities even to users we have.

    所以真的,隨著我們繼續重新定義 Office 的含義,從人們一直與 Word、Excel 和 PowerPoint 相關聯的東西,到意味著移動設備或視頻流或與 Teams 協作的東西,我認為我們有機會繼續添加這些新用戶,我們以前沒有訪問過的新類型的用戶,甚至我們擁有的用戶的新功能。
