    在 Search ex TAC 中,我們預計 40 年代中期的收入增長將受到廣告市場改善的推動。

  • In Gaming, we expect revenue growth in the mid- to high single digits.

    在遊戲方面,我們預計收入增長將達到中高個位數。

  • Significant demand for the Xbox Series X and S will continue to be constrained by supply.

    Xbox Series X 和 S 的巨大需求將繼續受到供應的限制。

  • And on the strong prior year comparable, we expect Xbox content and services revenue to decline in the mid- to high single digits.

    與去年強勁的可比性相比,我們預計 Xbox 內容和服務收入將以中高個位數下降。

  • Now back to company guidance.

    現在回到公司指導。

  • We expect COGS of $13.7 billion to $13.9 billion and operating expense of $13.1 billion to $13.2 billion.

    我們預計銷貨成本為 137 億美元至 139 億美元,運營費用為 131 億美元至 132 億美元。

  • As a reminder, in operating expense in Q4, we will benefit from continued COVID-related savings as well as the prior year comparable, which included roughly 4 points of impact from a $450 million charge related to the realignment of our retail store strategy.

    提醒一下,在第四季度的運營費用中,我們將受益於與 COVID 相關的持續節省以及上一年的可比性,其中包括與調整零售店戰略相關的 4.5 億美元費用帶來的大約 4 個影響點。

  • In other income and expense, interest income and expense should offset each other.

    在其他收入和費用中,利息收入和費用應相互抵消。

  • And finally, we expect our Q4 effective tax rate to be approximately 16%.

    最後,我們預計第四季度的有效稅率約為 16%。

  • Now I'd like to share some closing thoughts as we look to next fiscal year.

    現在,當我們展望下一個財政年度時,我想分享一些結束的想法。

  • Overall, we have performed well through 3 quarters of our fiscal year in a challenging environment, and we fully expect a strong Q4 to lay the foundation for FY '22.

    總體而言,在充滿挑戰的環境中,我們在本財年的三個季度中表現良好,我們完全預計第四季度的強勁表現將為 22 財年奠定基礎。

  • We will, of course, continue to focus on delivering strong revenue growth in the short term.

    當然,我們將繼續專注於在短期內實現強勁的收入增長。

  • But even more importantly, this year has reinforced the critical importance of investing boldly to capture the significant list of opportunities ahead of us.

    但更重要的是,今年加強了大膽投資以抓住擺在我們面前的大量機會的至關重要性。

  • Excellence in daily execution, coupled with a thoughtful vision for the future that creates value as well as opportunity for our customers globally will lead to long-term revenue and profit growth.

    卓越的日常執行,加上對未來的深思熟慮的願景,為我們的全球客戶創造價值和機會,將帶來長期的收入和利潤增長。

  • And great quarter.

    和偉大的季度。

  • I guess this is a question both for Satya and Amy.

    我想這對 Satya 和 Amy 來說都是一個問題。

  • We're seeing these really great commercial bookings results come through, 39% growth in the current quarter.

    我們看到這些非常棒的商業預訂結果在本季度實現了 39% 的增長。

  • And Satya, you've been talking to us a lot about these more strategic deals and the acceleration of digital transformation.

    Satya,您一直在與我們談論這些更具戰略性的交易和加速數字化轉型。

  • Can you give us a little bit of color of what comes in these more strategic deals?

    你能給我們一些關於這些更具戰略意義的交易的色彩嗎?

  • How does it change the dynamics of what types of solutions people are using for Microsoft, the scope of sort of how deeply you're getting into these customers and sort of how much of the IT budget you're getting.

    它如何改變人們為 Microsoft 使用的解決方案類型的動態、您與這些客戶的深入程度以及您獲得的 IT 預算的多少。

  • And then maybe talk to us a little bit about the time frame for which this comes into revenues.

    然後也許可以和我們談談這成為收入的時間框架。

  • What should our expectation be when you get one of these big strategic deals?

    當您獲得其中一項重大戰略交易時,我們的期望是什麼?

  • How long does it take to really ramp up this customer onto the broader Microsoft platform?

    真正讓這個客戶進入更廣泛的 Microsoft 平台需要多長時間?

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Thank you, Keith, for the question.

    謝謝你,基思,這個問題。

  • I think we feel very good, both, I would say, of consumption and usage today as well as, as you mentioned, the bookings because both of those at any given point in time is what we look at.

    我認為我們感覺非常好,我想說的是,今天的消費和使用以及正如你提到的預訂,因為在任何給定時間點,這兩者都是我們所關注的。

  • The overall approach to the Microsoft Cloud, if you look at the breadth of what any customer may be doing with us, they may be doing hybrid cloud infrastructure with us.

    微軟雲的整體方法,如果您查看任何客戶可能與我們一起做的事情的廣度,他們可能正在與我們一起做混合雲基礎架構。

  • They may be for the first time, doing Tier 1 workloads on the cloud with us, right, whether it's in core financials or in retail or in health care.

    他們可能是第一次與我們一起在雲上執行第 1 層工作負載,對,無論是在核心財務、零售還是醫療保健領域。

  • Also, they could be deploying their centers of excellence around Power Platform.

    此外,他們可以圍繞 Power Platform 部署他們的卓越中心。

  • And Power Platform sits at the intersection of pretty much Dynamics, Azure and Teams, for example.

    例如,Power Platform 位於 Dynamics、Azure 和 Teams 的交匯處。

  • And of course, we're seeing the growth of Teams, and Teams as I've always maintained is not just about one thing.

    當然,我們看到了 Teams 的發展,而我一直認為的 Teams 不僅僅是一件事。

  • It's not about just meetings or it's not about just chat.

    這不僅僅是會議,也不僅僅是聊天。

  • But most importantly, it's a platform that drives, in fact, line of business and business application termination inside of a collaboration workflow.

    但最重要的是,事實上,它是一個平台,可以在協作工作流中推動業務線和業務應用程序的終止。

  • And so that's what we're seeing.

    這就是我們所看到的。

  • And then the other thing I would say that we are now seeing is also that industry level differentiation of the all-up Microsoft cloud.

    然後我要說的另一件事是我們現在看到的也是全面的微軟雲的行業級差異化。

  • So whether it's in retail, whether it's in health care or in financial services, we feel that we now can bring the power of the entire cloud together in a much more strategic way.

    因此,無論是零售、醫療保健還是金融服務,我們都認為我們現在可以以更具戰略性的方式將整個雲的力量整合在一起。

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • And maybe just to build on what Satya was saying, Keith, If you think about bookings or the remaining performance obligation, what I tend to think of is when you hear those words, I think often we pivot toward these Azure contracts we talk a lot about because they create some volatility.

    也許只是建立在 Satya 所說的基礎上,Keith,如果你考慮預訂或剩餘的履約義務,我傾向於想到的是,當你聽到這些話時,我認為我們經常轉向這些我們經常談論的 Azure 合同大約是因為它們會產生一些波動。

  • But really, the foundation for these long-term strategic contracts is the Microsoft Cloud holistically.

    但實際上,這些長期戰略合同的基礎是整體上的微軟雲。

  • So what you'll see is not just Office 365, but the suite of Microsoft 365.

    因此,您將看到的不僅僅是 Office 365,而是 Microsoft 365 套件。

  • You'll see higher-level additions of security or compliance workloads.

    您將看到更高級別的安全性或合規性工作負載。

  • You'll see Dynamics 365 as a pillar with Power Platform.

    您會將 Dynamics 365 視為 Power Platform 的支柱。

  • Because they're spanning end-to-end industry solutions to combine it back to what Satya is saying.

    因為他們正在跨越端到端的行業解決方案,將其與 Satya 所說的結合起來。

  • So you see it add a good bookings number, which is fundamentally about do you renew what's up for renewal, do you add workloads, do you add users, and do you -- and does it have a component of an Azure commitment.

    因此,您會看到它添加了一個很好的預訂數量,這從根本上是關於您是否續訂要續訂的內容、是否添加工作負載、是否添加用戶以及您是否 - 它是否包含 Azure 承諾的組成部分。

  • All of those things together are what creates this change.

    所有這些東西加在一起就是造成這種變化的原因。

  • And if you look at remaining performance obligation, you see there a good bit of it that's going to be recognized in the next 12 months and another equally balanced portion that's beyond that.

    如果您查看剩餘的履約義務,您會發現其中很大一部分將在未來 12 個月內得到認可,而另外一個同樣平衡的部分則超出此範圍。

  • So it's not all long term.

    所以這不是長期的。

  • This transition happens quickly, usage builds, it's both per user, it's also for workload and it's consumptive based.

    這種轉變發生得很快,使用量增加,它既針對每個用戶,也針對工作負載,並且基於消耗。

  • So it's really a more holistic view that I would have people take as opposed to thinking about an Azure contract as long dated.

    因此,我希望人們採取這種更全面的觀點,而不是考慮長期的 Azure 合同。

  • Satya, on health care, if you could just frame your aspirations, long term, where you'd like to be in this industry?

    Satya,關於醫療保健,如果您可以長期規劃您的抱負,您希望在這個行業中處於什麼位置?

  • And if you could just comment on where you still think the lowest hanging fruit is, as it relates to the opportunity set, specifically building on the Nuance acquisition.

    如果你可以評論一下你仍然認為最容易實現的目標,因為它與機會集有關,特別是在收購 Nuance 的基礎上。

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Sure, Brent.

    當然,布倫特。

  • Thanks for the question.

    謝謝你的問題。

  • When I look at the industry cloud opportunities, we think of health care is a very critical opportunity for us and a huge and expansive addressable market.

    當我看到行業雲機會時,我們認為醫療保健對我們來說是一個非常關鍵的機會,也是一個巨大而廣闊的潛在市場。

  • If you think about as a percentage of GDP, obviously, health care is significant.

    如果您考慮佔 GDP 的百分比,顯然,醫療保健很重要。

  • And fundamentally, when I think about the provider market, in particular, digital tech is going to play a huge role for every provider to do the things that they care the most about, which is improve the patient outcomes and reduce cost and reduce the burden on the physicians.

    從根本上說,當我考慮供應商市場時,特別是數字技術將發揮巨大作用,讓每個供應商做他們最關心的事情,即改善患者結果、降低成本和減輕負擔在醫生身上。

  • So that's where the Nuance acquisition is a great fit for us.

    所以這就是收購 Nuance 非常適合我們的地方。

  • We've been partnered with them.

    我們一直與他們合作。

  • It also enhances our platform approach, Brent.

    它還增強了我們的平台方法 Brent。

  • What we have always done has gone into an industry with a platform and an ecosystem approach.

    我們一直在做的事情已經進入了一個有平台和生態系統方法的行業。

  • For example, with Nuance, they've done a fantastic job of taking what's perhaps the most defining technology of our times, which is AI and applying it to health care, which is the most important application space.

    例如,通過 Nuance,他們在採用可能是我們這個時代最具決定性的技術方面做得非常出色,這就是人工智能,並將其應用於醫療保健,這是最重要的應用領域。

  • And they've done that again by really partnering, partnering deeply with EMR systems and the rest of the health care ecosystem, ultimately to benefit the providers.

    他們通過真正的合作再次做到了這一點,與 EMR 系統和醫療保健生態系統的其他部分深入合作,最終使供應商受益。

  • And so we're really looking forward to that acquisition closing, and we're already partnered with them in our cloud.

    所以我們真的很期待這次收購的結束,我們已經在我們的雲中與他們合作。

  • But this allows us to take that and integrate more deeply with what we're doing with Teams and some of our AI capabilities even more deeply, and we think we can add a significant amount of value, both to our partners in the health care ecosystem as well as most importantly, to the providers.

    但這使我們能夠接受這一點,並更深入地與我們正在使用 Teams 所做的事情以及更深入地集成我們的一些 AI 功能,我們認為我們可以為我們在醫療保健生態系統中的合作夥伴增加大量價值以及最重要的是,提供者。

  • And again, congratulations on the quarter and how well the company is executing.

    再次祝賀本季度以及公司的執行情況。

  • I'd like to change gear a little bit and drill in a bit on the Dynamics 365 business.

    我想稍微改變一下,深入了解 Dynamics 365 業務。

  • Frankly, were this part of any other company or even a stand-alone business, it would be such a center of enthusiasm by investors given how fast it's grown.

    坦率地說,如果這是任何其他公司的一部分,甚至是一個獨立的業務,考慮到它的發展速度,它將成為投資者的熱情中心。

  • Satya, when you said Dynamics 365 is taking share from competitors, are you talking about ERP or CRM or is it both?

    Satya,當您說 Dynamics 365 正在從競爭對手那裡獲得份額時,您是在談論 ERP 還是 CRM,還是兩者兼而有之?

  • Or is it something different?

    還是有什麼不同?

  • And what are the key drivers of that strength and growth?

    這種實力和增長的關鍵驅動力是什麼?

  • And how sustainable do you believe that is?

    你認為這有多可持續?

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Thanks so much for the question, Mark.

    非常感謝你的問題,馬克。

  • And first of all, we're very, very excited about what's happening again with Dynamics 365.

    首先,我們對 Dynamics 365 再次發生的事情感到非常非常興奮。

  • And when you ask where is the share coming and where is the growth coming?

    當你問份額來自哪里以及增長來自哪裡?

  • It's coming from all those categories.

    它來自所有這些類別。

  • But the most interesting thing is, as somebody wants to deploy even an omnichannel solution, for example, in a world where what's physical and what is digital need to come together unlike anything before because the pandemic is bringing about such structural change.

    但最有趣的是,因為有人甚至想部署全渠道解決方案,例如,在一個物理和數字需要以前所未有的方式融合在一起的世界中,因為大流行正在帶來這種結構性變化。

  • You need both that federated inventory management distributed inventory management system I referenced in my remarks, and you need the customer insights product that is probably one of the fastest-growing modules, which is that 360-degree view on customers and customer engagement, and then including the supply chain.

    您既需要我在評論中提到的聯合庫存管理分佈式庫存管理系統,也需要可能是增長最快的模塊之一的客戶洞察產品,即客戶和客戶參與度的 360 度視圖,然後包括供應鏈。

  • So bottom line is that every customer is looking to digitize and bring together the data silos, in fact, silos of CRM and ERP systems.

    因此,底線是每個客戶都在尋求數字化並整合數據孤島,實際上是 CRM 和 ERP 系統的孤島。

  • And that's probably one of the most interesting things we have observed is it's not about replacing even an existing ERP or an existing CRM, it's not buying Dynamics and helping them bridge even some of the disparate CRM and ERP systems they may have.

    這可能是我們觀察到的最有趣的事情之一,它不是要取代現有的 ERP 或現有的 CRM,也不是購買 Dynamics 並幫助他們彌合他們可能擁有的一些不同的 CRM 和 ERP 系統。

  • So we do see this as a huge opportunity as the world modernizes and puts in a complete next-generation, more proactive versus reactive business systems, and that's what Dynamics has been architected for.

    因此,我們確實認為這是一個巨大的機會,因為世界正在實現現代化,並引入了一個完整的下一代、更主動而不是被動的業務系統,而這正是 Dynamics 的構建目標。

  • So I feel like coming out of this pandemic and the architecture and all the hard work that team has done over the multiple years now positions us very well.

    所以我覺得從這場大流行中走出來,團隊多年來所做的架構和所有辛勤工作現在使我們處於非常有利的地位。

  • Question for Amy on OpEx.

    艾米關於運營支出的問題。

  • Amy, the OpEx growth has been extraordinarily low the last several quarters.

    艾米,過去幾個季度的運營支出增長非常低。

  • The growth rate looks like it's going to inch up a little bit in the June quarter.

    增長率看起來會在 6 月季度略有上升。

  • But you mentioned the investments are shifting to future quarters.

    但你提到投資正在轉移到未來幾個季度。

  • You probably don't want to give too much on fiscal '22.

    您可能不想在 22 財年付出太多。

  • But I'm just wondering whether we should extrapolate that into thinking that OpEx growth in fiscal '22 should get back to the pre-COVID levels of plus 10%.

    但我只是想知道我們是否應該將其推斷為認為 22 財年的 OpEx 增長應該回到 COVID 之前的 10% 以上的水平。

  • And if you don't want to be that specific, maybe you could just help us outline some of the variables we should keep in mind as we model that line item post COVID recovery in fiscal '22?

    如果你不想那麼具體,也許你可以幫助我們概述一些我們應該記住的變量,因為我們在 22 財年對 COVID 恢復後的項目進行建模?

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • Thanks, Karl.

    謝謝,卡爾。

  • And I do think in Q4, and it's why I specifically called out the 4 points of impact from a year ago because it does start to get to a more normalized rate in Q4.

    我確實認為在第四季度,這就是為什麼我特別提到一年前的 4 個影響點,因為它確實在第四季度開始達到更加正常化的速度。

  • And I say that because our headcount growth, which I noted earlier, has been 12%.

    我這麼說是因為我們之前提到的員工人數增長了 12%。

  • And so overall, you would expect OpEx growth to at least marry your headcount growth over any period of time, and we've certainly benefited through the year from COVID-related savings.

    因此,總體而言,您預計運營支出的增長至少會在任何時期與您的員工人數增長相結合,而且我們在這一年中肯定從與 COVID 相關的節省中受益。

  • We'll continue to have that in Q4.

    我們將在第四季度繼續這樣做。

  • And as we get to '22, I would expect to see a little less of that as people get back to the workplace at some level and resume some other normal levels of activity.

    隨著我們到 22 年,我預計隨著人們在一定程度上回到工作場所並恢復其他一些正常水平的活動,這種情況會少一些。

  • And so I do think you're heading in the right direction on that.

    所以我確實認為你正朝著正確的方向前進。

  • And listen, I think that type of growth with the type of opportunity we're seeing, the number of TAM expansive opportunities really Satya went through in his comments, where we feel like we've got a unique position and opportunity to take share.

    聽著,我認為這種增長與我們所看到的機會類型,薩蒂亞在他的評論中真正經歷的 TAM 廣泛機會的數量,我們覺得我們有一個獨特的位置和機會分享。

  • I feel pretty confident in being able to certainly land that OpEx growth number.

    我對能夠肯定實現運營支出增長數字感到非常有信心。

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • I mean I think just to add to it, Amy, I think I hope in all of your models, you have new rows, at least when we think about it from even just last year to this year, we are in many more new categories and in those categories with significant differentiation.

    我的意思是我想補充一下,艾米,我想我希望在你所有的模型中,你都有新的行,至少當我們從去年到今年考慮到這一點時,我們有更多的新類別在那些具有顯著差異的類別中。

  • So when we think about OpEx, it's not about adding OpEx to the stuff that we had in the past.

    因此,當我們考慮 OpEx 時,並不是要將 OpEx 添加到我們過去擁有的東西中。

  • It's -- there's leverage there.

    這是 - 那裡有槓桿作用。

  • In fact, it's OpEx going into new TAMs.

    實際上,是 OpEx 進入了新的 TAM。

  • It's very much a great example of what I was saying in terms of creating a new category, right.

    這是我在創建新類別方面所說的一個很好的例子,對吧。

  • When I look back multiple years now, we started talking about Power Platform.

    當我現在回顧多年時,我們開始談論 Power Platform。

  • And as I said, even in my script today, we now have a full suite of tools that essentially created this next-generation business process automation and productivity suite in Power Platform that set scale and growing at scale.

    正如我所說,即使在我今天的腳本中,我們現在也擁有一整套工具,這些工具基本上在 Power Platform 中創建了這個下一代業務流程自動化和生產力套件,從而實現了規模化和規模化增長。

  • Similarly, we think of the experience cloud as a distinct cloud opportunity for us.

    同樣,我們認為體驗雲對我們來說是一個獨特的雲機會。

  • It brings together even today, what have been disparate tools, whether it's the knowledge mining and management systems in an enterprise, connecting it to learnings and ultimately the employee experience and communication system.

    即使在今天,它也匯集了不同的工具,無論是企業中的知識挖掘和管理系統,還是將其與學習聯繫起來,最終將員工體驗和溝通系統聯繫起來。

  • So we -- it obviously is a very massive adjacencies to what we're doing with Microsoft 365 and Office 365, in particular, Teams.

    所以我們——這顯然與我們使用 Microsoft 365 和 Office 365,特別是 Teams 所做的事情非常接近。

  • But also, to your point, connects up with line of business systems, HRM systems and all of the other things we do in Dynamics as well as other third-party SaaS applications.

    而且,就您而言,它還與業務線系統、HRM 系統以及我們在 Dynamics 中所做的所有其他事情以及其他第三方 SaaS 應用程序連接起來。

  • So It's very early days.

    所以現在還很早。

  • And so we'll take the same approach we have taken, whether it's in Security, whether it's in Power Platform, whether it's Dynamics, and many other places where you've seen us grow substantial new businesses essentially as part of Microsoft Cloud.

    因此,我們將採用與我們相同的方法,無論是在安全性、Power Platform、Dynamics 還是您已經看到我們在本質上作為 Microsoft Cloud 的一部分發展大量新業務的許多其他領域。

  • But we're very excited about what this opportunity represents.

    一個是我們需要在每一層都具有競爭力,然後將每一層組合成一個有凝聚力的、連貫的全棧架構或微軟雲,從而創造出這種差異化。

  • And that will define what we think is going to be increasing share for us as tech itself as a percentage of GDP doubles.

    這將定義我們認為隨著科技本身佔 GDP 的百分比翻倍,我們的份額將會增加。

  • So if you look at it -- whether it's on the hybrid infrastructure or the multi-cloud, multi-edge world, which, I believe, is going to be the world 10 years from now, we are very well positioned.

    因此,如果你看一下——無論是在混合基礎架構上,還是在多雲、多邊緣的世界上,我相信 10 年後的世界,我們都處於非常有利的位置。

  • We have led in it, we currently lead in it, and we plan to continue that.

    我們已經在其中領先,我們目前也在領先,並且我們計劃繼續這樣做。

  • When it comes to data, when I look at even what we've been able to do with Synapse even in the just last year and what that can do both at the cloud and the edge.

    當談到數據時,我什至看看我們在去年就可以使用 Synapse 做些什麼,以及它可以在雲和邊緣做些什麼。

  • When it comes to AI, what we are doing with OpenAI and our cognitive services or what we're doing with Power Platform.

    談到人工智能,我們用 OpenAI 和我們的認知服務做什麼,或者我們用 Power Platform 做什麼。

  • Developer SaaS, one of the most exciting things, again, that I believe is the next 10 years is going to be about developers and the digital capability in every enterprise, and we are the leaders there.

    開發人員 SaaS 是最令人興奮的事情之一,我相信未來 10 年將與開發人員和每個企業的數字能力有關,我們是那裡的領導者。

  • When you think about VS Code as well as GitHub.

    當你想到 VS Code 和 GitHub 時。

  • And then, of course, all of the things that we're doing with Microsoft 365 and Dynamics on the industry side.

    然後,當然還有我們在行業方面使用 Microsoft 365 和 Dynamics 所做的所有事情。

  • So ultimately, we don't take anything for granted.

    所以最終,我們不會認為任何事情都是理所當然的。

  • But that said, We're well positioned for what is expansive TAM and with competitive differentiation both in the individual layers of the stack as well as the cohesiveness of the stack itself.

    但話雖如此,我們已經為擴展的 TAM 做好了準備,並且在堆棧的各個層以及堆棧本身的凝聚力方面都具有競爭優勢。

  • Satya, in your prepared remarks, you spoke about an increase in verticalization of Azure.

    Satya,在您準備好的講話中,您談到了 Azure 垂直化的增加。

  • Can we double click on that a bit more?

    我們可以再雙擊一下嗎?

  • How much incremental opportunity do you see in industries like financials, like manufacturing?

    您在金融、製造業等行業看到了多少增量機會?

  • And are there other verticals that may make sense to more actively pursue over time as well?

    隨著時間的推移,是否還有其他可以更積極地追求的垂直領域?

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Thank you for the question.

    感謝你的提問。

  • We absolutely think that ultimately, customers are looking to increase their time to value, lower cost and improve agility.

    我們絕對認為,最終,客戶希望增加實現價值的時間、降低成本並提高敏捷性。

  • So being able to customize these workflows, to come up with industry schemers.

    因此,能夠自定義這些工作流程,以提出行業策劃者。

  • Because when you think about increased digitization and workflow automation, it does take that next level of schematization of what is perhaps today not digital inside an industry.

    因為當您考慮提高數字化和工作流程自動化時,它確實需要對行業內今天可能不是數字化的東西進行更高級別的模式化。

  • And so therefore, what we do by stitching together, coming together of even Microsoft 365, Teams, Power Platform with certain workflows with data inside of Azure as well as Dynamics, that absolutely improves the ability for any customer in any one of these industries to improve their time to value.

    因此,我們通過將 Microsoft 365、Teams、Power Platform 與 Azure 內部數據以及 Dynamics 的某些工作流結合在一起所做的工作,這絕對提高了這些行業中任何一個客戶的能力提高他們實現價值的時間。

  • So yes, it is going to both help us with adoption rates increase, the speed with which it increases and it also differentiates us.

    所以,是的,它既可以幫助我們提高采用率,提高它的速度,也可以使我們與眾不同。

  • And we'll continue to look.

    我們將繼續尋找。

  • And one of the other things that we're doing, this is not just one industry at a time, it's also the cross-industry workflows.

    我們正在做的另一件事是,這不僅僅是一個行業,它也是跨行業的工作流程。

  • So we absolutely believe that that we already talk about not just any individual part of our cloud, we talk about only one thing, it's called the Microsoft Cloud.

    所以我們絕對相信,我們已經談論的不僅僅是我們雲的任何單個部分,我們只談論一件事,它被稱為微軟雲。

  • And now we're increasingly talking about Microsoft Cloud by industry and cross industry.

    現在,我們越來越多地按行業和跨行業談論 Microsoft Cloud。

  • I wanted to ask about security and what we see in terms of changes of the industry and how Microsoft is kind of fit in there where, obviously, in the last quarter, that was kind of a big topic.

    我想問一下安全性以及我們在行業變化方面看到的情況,以及微軟如何適應那裡,顯然,在上個季度,這是一個很大的話題。

  • Can you talk a little bit about what you see in terms of customers realizing the broadened offering from Microsoft and how the cloud is playing a changing role there?

    您能否談談您在客戶意識到 Microsoft 擴大產品範圍方面所看到的情況,以及云如何在其中扮演著不斷變化的角色?

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • No.

    不。

  • Thank you for the question.

    感謝你的提問。

  • Obviously, security is a super important topic for every customer, every board, every executive team.

    顯然,對於每個客戶、每個董事會、每個執行團隊來說,安全都是一個非常重要的話題。

  • And the fundamental approach we have is how do we ensure that every customer has implemented a Zero Trust architecture.

    我們擁有的基本方法是如何確保每個客戶都實施了零信任架構。

  • But that's the name of the game, which is how can Microsoft through our participation in the security industry, accelerate essentially the cyber defense of the entire digital sector and beyond.

    但這就是遊戲的名稱,這就是微軟如何通過我們參與安全行業,從根本上加速整個數字行業及其他領域的網絡防禦。

  • And so to me, what we have done is taken a pretty unique approach of bringing identity, endpoint application, infrastructure all together with XDR and SIEM, which is cloud native.

    所以對我來說,我們所做的是採取了一種非常獨特的方法,將身份、端點應用程序、基礎設施與 XDR 和 SIEM(雲原生)結合在一起。

  • That's pretty unique because we really don't let the SIEMs get in the way.

    這是非常獨特的,因為我們真的不會讓 SIEM 成為障礙。

  • We'll make sure that any customer who is able to sort of deploy these systems together has most defense in depth, but also the aggregate data to be able to detect and respond to any intrusion because that's sort of the key posture.

    我們將確保能夠將這些系統部署在一起的任何客戶都擁有最深入的防禦,而且還有能夠檢測和響應任何入侵的聚合數據,因為這是關鍵態勢。

  • And then you couple that with our operational security posture when you're processing 8 trillion events and using that to continuously help our customers is increasing to your point, the cloud adoption rate.

    然後,當您處理 8 萬億個事件並使用它來持續幫助我們的客戶時,您將其與我們的運營安全態勢相結合,雲採用率正在不斷提高。

  • So if you look at some of the challenges like the HAFNIUM, cloud was not impacted.

    因此,如果您查看諸如 HAFNIUM 之類的挑戰,雲並沒有受到影響。

  • And when we did sort of a lot of work to make sure that the patches were out even for servers that were out of support for multiple years.

    當我們做了很多工作以確保即使對於多年不支持的服務器也能提供補丁。

  • And so -- but at the same time, any business that was -- had moved already to the cloud had none of those issues.

    因此——但與此同時,任何已經遷移到雲的業務都沒有這些問題。

  • So therefore, I think we are going to see increased cloud adoption.

    因此,我認為我們將看到更多的雲採用。

  • We're going to see increased usage of end-to-end security suites like what we offer.

    我們將看到端到端安全套件的使用增加,就像我們提供的一樣。

  • And most importantly, great hygiene and great operational security posture all the time with Zero Trust architecture.

    最重要的是,零信任架構始終保持良好的衛生和良好的運營安全態勢。
