    當您談到數字化轉型的加速時,您會看到 COVID 帶來的結果,我認為這在我們在這裡看到的結果中很明顯,您的商業預訂增長了 25%,我想問您的是在未來的基礎上增長。

  • Was that acceleration a pull forward of demand and, at some point, we're going to have that hard comp?

  • Thanks so much, Keith, for the question.

    非常感謝基思的問題。

  • I mean the way we see the results today reflect that but, more importantly, on a secular basis, as I think about -- I always go back to that number, which is 5% of the world GDP is tech spend, it's projected to double.

    我的意思是我們今天看到結果的方式反映了這一點,但更重要的是,在長期的基礎上,正如我所想的那樣——我總是回到這個數字,即世界 GDP 的 5% 是技術支出,預計它將雙倍的。

  • I think that doubling will happen in a more accelerated pace.

    我認為翻倍的速度會更快。

  • And we feel well positioned because of the innovation across the stack because, if you think about it, what's going to happen is every business, whether you're a retailer or a manufacturer, in the service sector, public sector or private sector, digital adoption is the way you're going to be both resilient as well as transform the core business processes.

    我們感覺自己處於有利位置,因為整個堆棧的創新,因為,如果你仔細想想,將會發生的是每一項業務,無論你是零售商還是製造商,在服務部門、公共部門或私營部門、數字採用是您既要保持彈性又要轉變核心業務流程的方式。

  • And the strength we have is that entirety of the Microsoft cloud stack, right?

    我們擁有的優勢在於整個 Microsoft 雲堆棧,對吧?

  • So it's not just about infrastructure or any application, it's the entirety of what we do.

    因此,這不僅僅是基礎設施或任何應用程序,而是我們所做的全部工作。

  • And so I think it is durable.

    所以我認為它是耐用的。

  • Quarter-to-quarter, depending on what happened during the pandemic, depending on the segments that were impacted, for example, the consumer segments that were impacted that are coming back and then they'll normalize whereas, in our case, we do -- in fact, one of the things I love about sort of our exposure is both it's a worldwide exposure and it has got the right balance between the consumer segments and the enterprise business-to-business segment.

    每季度,取決於大流行期間發生的事情,取決於受影響的細分市場,例如,受影響的消費者細分市場正在回歸,然後它們會正常化,而在我們的情況下,我們會 - - 事實上,我喜歡我們的曝光的一件事是它既是全球曝光,又在消費者細分市場和企業 B2B 細分市場之間取得了適當的平衡。

  • So it's a very durable long-term growth prospect that we have tough competition, we need to keep innovating, which is what we'll stay focused on.

    所以這是一個非常持久的長期增長前景,我們面臨激烈的競爭,我們需要不斷創新,這是我們將繼續關注的。

  • And while I am obviously proud of the work we've done, Keith, that you referenced as a team on margins and returns, I would say, in general, our focus remains, and has been for the duration of really Satya and I's work together along with the rest of the SLT, on consistently moving our resources and talent to our highest growth and most differentiated places.

    雖然我顯然為我們所做的工作感到自豪,Keith,你將其稱為利潤和回報團隊,但我想說,總的來說,我們的重點仍然是,並且在 Satya 和我的工作期間一直如此與 SLT 的其他成員一起,不斷將我們的資源和人才轉移到我們增長最快和最具差異化的地方。

  • When you do that in expansive total addressable markets in the way that I believe we're focused on as an organization, you do see the type of operating leverage that you're referring to in margins.

    當您以我認為我們作為一個組織關注的方式在廣闊的總潛在市場中這樣做時,您確實會看到您在利潤率中所指的運營槓桿類型。

  • And that along, as you see sort of mathematically, with a shift in our revenue to higher overall gross margin segments, you do get the results we've seen.

    而且,正如你在數學上看到的那樣,隨著我們的收入轉向更高的整體毛利率領域,你確實得到了我們所看到的結果。

  • So I feel very good about the work we've done.

    所以我對我們所做的工作感覺很好。

  • And as you heard, I'm quite optimistic about the opportunities we have to invest leading into FY '22 as well.

    然後作為後續問題,Keith 詢問了整體的運營支出效率,但我想特別問一下云計算。

  • Is there any reason that cloud OpEx shouldn't continue to grow slower than revenue, obviously, on an annual basis, not a quarterly basis?

    有什麼理由認為雲運營支出的增長不應繼續低於收入,顯然是按年度而不是按季度?

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • Thanks, Mark, for the question.

    謝謝,馬克,這個問題。

  • Let me cover your first one, which is the seasonality in the Azure business.

    讓我介紹你的第一個問題,即 Azure 業務的季節性。

  • In some ways, Mark, some of that seasonality, frankly, was because Azure has 2 fundamental components.

    在某些方面,Mark 坦率地說,其中一些季節性是因為 Azure 有兩個基本組成部分。

  • It's got a consumption model as well as a per-user model.

    它有消費模型和每用戶模型。

  • The per-user model which, as you well know, is far more aligned to our sort of end of year and can be a lot more aligned to our end-of-year rhythms, it also can have more quarterly volatility in terms of accounting, in terms of revenue recognition, the same topic we often talk about when it comes to Microsoft 365 in terms of more in-quarter recognition, what you've seen is that did historically represent a larger component of Azure, so added volatility to Q4.

    如您所知,每用戶模型更符合我們的年終,並且可以更符合我們的年終節奏,它在會計方面也可能有更多的季度波動,在收入確認方面,我們經常談論 Microsoft 365 在季度內確認方面的相同主題,您所看到的是歷史上確實代表了 Azure 的更大組成部分,因此增加了第四季度的波動性.

  • As we've seen our consumption businesses grow and grow consistently, and thus far becoming a larger percentage of Azure, you do have more stability, Mark.

    正如我們所看到的,我們的消費業務不斷增長,並且迄今為止在 Azure 中所佔的比例更大,你確實擁有更多的穩定性,Mark。

  • And so you start seeing less of that volatility that we've historically seen from Q3 to Q4.

    因此,您開始看到我們從第三季度到第四季度歷史上看到的那種波動性減少了。

  • We still have some of it, as we talked about, but I think it's an interesting observation and it's a very good question.

    正如我們所談到的,我們仍然有一些它,但我認為這是一個有趣的觀察,這是一個非常好的問題。

  • In terms of your comment on cloud revenue and OpEx, yes, I do believe that's durable.

    就您對雲收入和運營支出的評論而言,是的,我確實相信這是持久的。

  • We get a lot of focus.

    我們得到了很多關注。

    我很好奇你是否認為短期內利潤率存在上限。

  • Or do you feel that you've got an elevated flight level, if you will, and we shouldn't have to be worrying about that level of margins?

    或者你是否覺得你的飛行水平提高了,如果你願意的話,我們不應該擔心那個水平的利潤?

  • Well, I think for FY '22 on operating margins, which is really where I focus most of my thoughts, as I said, when you exclude the useful life change, I feel very good about margin improvement in FY '22.

    好吧,我認為 22 財年的營業利潤率是我最關注的地方,正如我所說,當你排除使用壽命變化時,我對 22 財年的利潤率提高感覺非常好。

  • But what sits behind that, Keith -- I mean, sorry, Brent -- is this focus on the first thing I said, which is with every operating expense dollar we invest, are we continuing to invest in the highest growth places?

    但是這背後的原因是什麼,基思——我的意思是,對不起,布倫特——這是我所說的第一件事的重點,即我們投資的每一美元運營費用,我們是否繼續投資於增長最快的地方?

  • If you continue to invest in high-growth places with differentiation that customers care about and you add value, you continue to see improvements in this area.

    如果您繼續投資於客戶關心的具有差異化的高增長領域並增加價值,那麼您將繼續看到該領域的改進。

  • From time to time, I'm sure there'll be quarters where that isn't the case, if we have some mix shift in hardware, et cetera.

    有時,如果我們在硬件等方面有一些混合變化,我相信會有一些季度不是這種情況。

  • But in general, over a longer period of time, you've seen us focus on this.

    但總的來說,在較長一段時間內,您已經看到我們專注於這一點。

  • And so if you remove a little of the noise and some of the useful life changes and look back a few years, I do think you'd see the biggest needle-mover being where we invest the dollars as opposed to the overall amount of them, which should grow based on the opportunity.

    因此,如果你消除一點噪音和一些使用壽命的變化並回顧幾年,我確實認為你會看到最大的推動因素是我們投資美元的地方,而不是它們的總金額, 它應該基於機會而增長。

  • Amy, thank you for giving more formal Azure guidance for the next quarter.

  • That's very helpful.

    這很有幫助。

  • So if Azure is going to remain stable in constant currency, I guess at 45%, and you had indicated that EMS growth should moderate, effectively, you're saying that the consumption piece of Azure might accelerate in the September quarter.

    因此,如果 Azure 以固定匯率保持穩定,我猜是 45%,並且您曾表示 EMS 增長應該放緩,實際上,您是說 Azure 的消費部分可能會在 9 月季度加速。

  • So I'm wondering if you could unpack that a little bit.

    所以我想知道你能不能把它拆開一點。

    Satya Nadella - Chairman & CEO

  • Thanks so much for that question.

    非常感謝這個問題。

  • A couple of things that are happening.

    有幾件事正在發生。

  • One is that all up, even what we consider the cloud infrastructure, is getting increasingly distributed.

    一是所有這些,即使是我們認為的雲基礎設施,也越來越分散。

  • If you think about the approach we took to our data center architecture, the fact that we have more regions, is to meet, I would say, both the real-world needs for the computing architecture side but also the regulatory and data residency requirements.

    如果您考慮一下我們對數據中心架構採取的方法,我們有更多區域這一事實,我想說的是,既要滿足計算架構方面的實際需求,又要滿足監管和數據駐留要求。

  • So we feel we picked the right approach, and that's paying dividends today just even in terms of our geographic coverage, our coverage of all of the regulatory requirements.

    因此,我們認為我們選擇了正確的方法,即使就我們的地理覆蓋範圍和所有監管要求的覆蓋範圍而言,今天也能帶來好處。

  • Then the second piece, of course, is distributed computing will remain distributed.

    然後第二部分,當然,分佈式計算將保持分佈式。

  • And what we are seeing with edge is going to be the case where we will see more of both the old workloads with hybrid benefits and hybrid deployments as well as new workloads, right?

    我們在邊緣看到的情況將是我們將看到更多具有混合優勢和混合部署的舊工作負載以及新工作負載,對嗎?

  • So if you take the AB InBev Digital Twin meets IoT type of scenario, that's going to require a lot more compute close to their factories.

    因此,如果您採用 AB InBev Digital Twin 遇到 IoT 類型的場景,那將需要在其工廠附近進行更多計算。

  • And so to me, those new scenarios -- or 5G, I mean, think about what AT&T is planning to do, which is a hybrid deployment in a completely new space where there is going to be compute that's located to be able to take core network traffic and use cloud economics.

    所以對我來說,那些新場景——或者 5G,我的意思是,想想 AT&T 計劃做什麼,這是在一個全新的空間中進行混合部署,在那裡將有計算能力來獲取核心網絡流量和使用雲經濟學。

  • So that's what we think of going forward, which is really compute will remain distributed, both because of their needs across geographies, regulation and the very nature of compute architecture.

    所以這就是我們對未來的想法,真正的計算將保持分佈式,這既是因為他們跨地域、監管和計算架構的本質的需求。

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • And to the question you asked on how to think about the edge and where to see that in results, really, it shows up.

    對於您提出的關於如何考慮邊緣以及在結果中的何處看到邊緣的問題,它確實出現了。

  • This is one where I would focus on the overall server products and cloud services number, which I think, Mark, was at the heart of your question because through our purchasing vehicles, the most effective way to purchase for flexibility across the edge in the cloud is sometimes some of the on-prem licensing with hybrid, right?

    這是我將重點關注整體服務器產品和雲服務數量的地方,馬克,我認為這是你問題的核心,因為通過我們的採購工具,這是購買雲邊緣靈活性的最有效方式有時是混合的一些本地許可,對嗎?

  • So you do see that both in our Azure results but also depending on how it's purchased and server KPI.

    因此,您確實會在我們的 Azure 結果中看到這一點,但也取決於購買方式和服務器 KPI。

  • When you see the size of the contracts increase, it's about the entire scope of what's offered under the Microsoft cloud.

    當您看到合同規模增加時,這涉及到 Microsoft 雲下提供的全部範圍。

  • We're seeing both really strong renewals of our core contracts, really strong additions across Dynamics, Power Apps, Power Automate, M365, premium SKUs, security, compliance, voice, which, of course, increases those commitment sizes.

    我們看到核心合同的續訂非常強勁,Dynamics、Power Apps、Power Automate、M365、高級 SKU、安全性、合規性、語音等領域的新增功能非常強大,這當然會增加這些承諾規模。

  • And you're seeing the addition of Azure commitments, which we often talk about as these multiyear, longer-term contracts.

    你會看到 Azure 承諾的增加,我們經常將其稱為這些多年期的長期合同。

  • And so then you do, of course, see them just have longer duration on, especially in the case of Azure.

    因此,您當然會看到它們的持續時間更長,尤其是在 Azure 的情況下。

  • So in many ways, what we focus on are the components that make up the larger contracts is each component being additive to selling the value that's present across all of our pieces of the Microsoft cloud.

    因此,在許多方面,我們關注的是構成更大合同的組件,每個組件都有助於銷售我們所有 Microsoft 雲中存在的價值。

  • This was a good execution quarter for us.

    這對我們來說是一個很好的執行季度。

  • You see it in the bookings number even more.

    您在預訂號碼中看到的更多。

  • When you have a declining expiry base and then bookings growth that's that high, you have to do all those things well.

    當您的到期基數下降,然後預訂量增長如此之高時,您必須做好所有這些事情。

  • And that's, I think, really what's reflected ultimately and transactionally, meaning those larger $10 million-plus contracts being done.

    我們看到的最令人興奮的事情之一可能是,從這場大流行中走出來,一個全新的套件從銷售、客戶服務、營銷、供應鍊或數字製造等各個方面都開啟了全新的篇章,這一切都將被重新實現。

  • So there's going to be a complete new cycle of business process automation that is going to be AI-first and collaboration-first.

    因此,將會有一個全新的業務流程自動化週期,它將是人工智能優先和協作優先。

  • And that second part is where that intersection between Teams and Business Process or Dynamics comes through because you do not want to have a system of record for anything, whether it is a customer or a part or a forecast that you don't want to collaborate on, that you don't want to communicate on.

    第二部分是團隊和業務流程或動態之間的交叉點,因為您不希望有任何記錄系統,無論是您不想協作的客戶、零件還是預測開,你不想交流。

  • And by the way, the communications and the collaboration artifacts are part of the record.

    順便說一句,通信和協作工件是記錄的一部分。

  • And that's what I think that this new generation of software will enable.

    這就是我認為新一代軟件將實現的。

  • And so you see it in 2 fronts.

    所以你在兩個方面看到它。

  • One is Teams has become a platform not just for Dynamics, even for Salesforce, for SAP, for Adobe, for ServiceNow, they're all building great integrations into Teams and we'll foster that.

    一是 Teams 已成為一個平台,不僅適用於 Dynamics,甚至適用於 Salesforce、SAP、Adobe、ServiceNow,他們都在構建與 Teams 的出色集成,我們將促進這一點。

  • And Dynamics itself, of course, will integrate deeply with Teams and embed Teams or Azure Communication Services.

    當然,Dynamics 本身將與 Teams 深度集成並嵌入 Teams 或 Azure 通信服務。

  • So when you think about our omnichannel customer service module, it doesn't look like anything from 2 years ago.

    因此,當您考慮我們的全渠道客戶服務模塊時,它看起來不像 2 年前的任何東西。

  • It's a completely rebuilt omnichannel customer service system, which has all the communication functionality built in.

    這是一個完全重建的全渠道客戶服務系統,內置了所有的通信功能。

  • So it's a pretty exciting space.

    所以這是一個非常令人興奮的空間。

  • And it also speaks to a lot of the questions around where is the margin, how is it going to sort of evolve.

    它還談到了很多關於邊距在哪裡,它將如何演變的問題。

  • I think tracking what's happening with Power Platform, Dynamics and Teams, I think, probably -- and its intersection to even some of our data layers in Azure is perhaps the best indication of some of our competitive differentiation at scale already.

    我認為跟踪 Power Platform、Dynamics 和 Teams 正在發生的事情,我認為可能——以及它與我們在 Azure 中的一些數據層的交叉點可能是我們在規模上的一些競爭差異化的最佳跡象。

  • Amy, I wanted to direct this to you and go back to margins for a second.

    艾米,我想把這個告訴你,然後再回到邊緣。

  • Is there any comments or color that you could provide?

    您可以提供任何評論或顏色嗎?

  • I know you said you focused on the operating margin side, but on the trends that you anticipate this year in '22 around gross margins with or without the depreciation schedules.

    我知道您說您關注的是營業利潤率方面,但關注的是您預計今年 22 年的毛利率趨勢,無論是否有折舊計劃。

  • Part B is on the last quarter call, you indicated that operating expenses might grow kind of mid-teens -- or low teens, I should say, in '22.

    B 部分是在上一季度的電話會議上,您表示運營費用可能會在 22 年增長到十幾歲——或者說是十幾歲以下。

  • I was wondering if you would want to update the comments on how we should be thinking about operating expense trends as we look at FY '22.

    我想知道您是否想更新關於我們在 22 財年應該如何考慮運營費用趨勢的評論。

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • Thanks, Keith.

    謝謝,基思。

  • When I think about your operating expense comments, no, I don't have any update to that.

    當我考慮您的運營費用評論時,不,我對此沒有任何更新。

  • I think if you think about our headcount growth at 12%, plus through the year, continuing to invest in some of the places where we saw savings through the year on COVID, I would expect that, that is still a good placeholder for people as we work through the year.

    我認為,如果您考慮我們的員工人數增長 12%,再加上全年繼續投資於我們在 COVID 上全年節省的一些地方,我希望這仍然是人們的一個很好的佔位符,因為我們全年工作。

  • I mean with the opportunity we see in the market, I think it supports that level.

    我的意思是我們在市場上看到的機會,我認為它支持這個水平。

  • And given our execution, when we do invest, which leads me to margin, I feel very good about that.

    考慮到我們的執行力,當我們進行投資時,這會導致我獲得保證金,我對此感覺非常好。

  • At the gross margin level, we'll continue to focus really on the same things we've always focused on, which is continuing across our cloud services to see improving margins.

    在毛利率水平上,我們將繼續真正關注我們一直關注的相同事物,這將繼續在我們的雲服務中看到利潤率的提高。

  • You'll continue to see a mix shift to Azure given the growth we expect there.

    鑑於我們預期的增長,您將繼續看到向 Azure 的混合轉變。

  • And we'll continue to see gross margin improvements across individual services that make up many of our components across the company.

    我們將繼續看到構成我們整個公司許多組成部分的單個服務的毛利率提高。

  • So in general, I feel like the gross margin trends are quite healthy heading into '22.

    所以總的來說,我覺得進入 22 年的毛利率趨勢相當健康。
