    假設當前利率保持穩定,我們預計外匯將使智能雲收入增長下降約 2 個百分點;公司總收入、生產力和業務流程以及更多個人計算收入增長約 1 個百分點,對公司總銷貨成本和運營費用增長沒有影響。

  • We expect another strong quarter in our commercial business.

    我們預計我們的商業業務將迎來另一個強勁的季度。

  • Demand for our hybrid offerings and cloud services remain strong, and capital expenditures will continue to reflect that.

    鑑於正常的可變性和基礎設施支出時間,我們預計第二季度資本支出將環比略有下降,但仍比上一年增長。

  • And commercial cloud gross margin percentage will continue to improve on a year-over-year basis even with the continued mix of revenue toward Azure consumption-based services.

    即使收入繼續向基於 Azure 消費的服務組合,商業雲的毛利率將繼續同比提高。

  • Now to segment guidance.

    現在進行細分指導。

  • In Productivity and Business Processes, we expect revenue between $11.3 billion and $11.5 billion driven by double-digit growth across Office Commercial, Dynamics and LinkedIn.

  • For Intelligent Cloud, we expect revenue between $11.25 billion and $11.45 billion.

    對於智能雲,我們預計收入在 112.5 億美元至 114.5 億美元之間。

  • In Azure, we expect continued strong growth in our consumption-based business and moderating growth in our per user business given the size of the installed base.

    在 Azure 中,鑑於安裝基數的規模,我們預計基於消費的業務將繼續強勁增長,而我們的每用戶業務增長將放緩。

  • Our on-premises server business will be driven by demand for our hybrid and premium solutions as well as the continued benefit from increased demand ahead of the end of support for Windows Server 2008.

    我們的本地服務器業務將受到對我們的混合和高級解決方案的需求的推動,以及在對 Windows Server 2008 的支持結束之前不斷增長的需求所帶來的持續收益。

    在 Windows 中,整體 OEM 收入增長應該再次領先於 PC 市場,因為我們平衡了健康的 Windows 10 需求以及即將結束對 Windows 7 的支持所帶來的好處以及供應鏈在第二季度滿足這一需求的能力。

  • Based on our customer demand signal and prior end-of-support cycles, we expect some continued momentum past January, end-of-support deadline.

    根據我們的客戶需求信號和之前的支持終止週期,我們預計在 1 月支持終止期限之後會有一些持續的勢頭。

  • In Windows Commercial products and cloud services, we expect another strong quarter, benefiting from continued Microsoft 365 momentum.

    在 Windows 商業產品和雲服務方面,我們預計將迎來另一個強勁的季度,這得益於 Microsoft 365 的持續發展勢頭。

  • In Surface, the launch of the latest Surface Pro and Surface laptop devices should drive low double-digit revenue growth on a strong prior year comparable.

    在 Surface 方面,最新的 Surface Pro 和 Surface 筆記本電腦設備的推出應該會推動較低的兩位數收入增長,而去年同期則表現強勁。

  • In Search ex TAC, we expect revenue growth similar to Q1.

    在 Search ex TAC 中,我們預計收入增長與第一季度相似。

  • And in gaming, we expect revenue to decline in the mid-20% range driven by lower console sales as we near the end of this generation as well as the most challenging quarterly comparable and third-party titles from last year.

    在遊戲方面,我們預計收入將下降 20% 左右,這是由於我們接近這一代末期的遊戲機銷量下降以及去年最具挑戰性的季度可比遊戲和第三方遊戲。

  • Now back to overall company guidance.

    現在回到整體公司指導。

  • We expect COGS of $12.45 billion to $12.65 billion and operating expenses of $10.8 billion to $10.9 billion.

    我們預計銷貨成本為 124.5 億美元至 126.5 億美元,運營費用為 108 億美元至 109 億美元。

  • Other income and expense should be approximately $50 million as interest income is partially offset by interest and finance lease expense.

    其他收入和費用應約為 5000 萬美元,因為利息收入被利息和融資租賃費用部分抵消。

  • And finally, we expect our Q2 effective tax rate to be slightly above the full year rate of 17%.

    最後,我們預計第二季度的有效稅率將略高於全年 17% 的稅率。

  • Now let me share some additional comments on the full year.

    現在讓我分享一些關於全年的補充意見。

  • At the company level, we continue to expect double-digit revenue and operating income growth driven by continued momentum in our commercial business.

    在公司層面,我們繼續預計在我們的商業業務持續增長的推動下實現兩位數的收入和營業收入增長。

  • Given our strong first quarter results and the expected sales mix for the remainder of the year, we now expect operating margins to be up slightly year-over-year even as we continue to invest with significant ambition in high-growth areas.

    鑑於我們強勁的第一季度業績和今年剩餘時間的預期銷售組合,我們現在預計營業利潤率將同比略有上升,即使我們繼續在高增長領域進行重大投資。

  • Very nice quarter.

    非常好的季度。

  • I was hoping to dig in a little bit into the Intelligent Cloud business and what you guys are seeing there from a hybrid perspective.

    我希望深入了解智能雲業務以及你們從混合角度看到的內容。

  • So maybe one question for Satya and one for Amy.

    所以也許是 Satya 一個問題,Amy 一個問題。

  • For Satya, can you talk to us a little bit about sort of how these hybrid engagements are kind of rolling out with the largest customers, how they're contracting from it?

    對於 Satya,您能否與我們談談這些混合業務是如何與最大的客戶一起推出的,他們是如何從中籤約的?

  • And any sense you can give us in terms of in what way do they engage both kind of the on-premise assets as well as the cloud assets?

    你能告訴我們他們以何種方式參與本地資產和雲資產?

  • Because I think that's part of the equation that's really positively surprising a lot of investors in how well server and tools is doing.

    因為我認為這是等式的一部分,這讓很多投資者對服務器和工具的表現感到非常驚訝。

  • And maybe for Amy, you could help us understand, sort of when we look at server and tools up 14% in constant currency, which is well ahead of our expectations, how should we think about the durability of that in terms of what comes from sort of the pull forward of demand ahead of some -- like SQL Server and Windows Server expirations and what is going to be more durable over time on the back of those pull forwards.

    也許對艾米來說,你可以幫助我們理解,當我們看到服務器和工具以恆定貨幣計算上漲 14% 時,這遠遠超出了我們的預期,我們應該如何考慮它的耐用性。有點像 SQL Server 和 Windows Server 到期之前的需求拉動,以及隨著時間的推移在這些拉動的背後會變得更加持久。

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Sure, Keith.

    當然,基思。

  • Thanks for the question.

    謝謝你的問題。

  • Overall, our approach has always been about this distributed computing fabric or thinking about hybrid as not as some transitory phase but as a long-term vision for how computing will meet the real-world needs because if you think about the long term, compute will migrate to wherever data is getting generated.

    總體而言,我們的方法一直是關於這種分佈式計算結構或將混合視為不是某個過渡階段,而是作為計算如何滿足現實世界需求的長期願景,因為如果您考慮長期,計算將遷移到生成數據的任何地方。

  • And increasingly, there'll be data generated in the real world where just -- when you think about the cloud, you have to think about the edge of the cloud as a very first-class construct.

    而且,越來越多的數據會在現實世界中生成——當您考慮雲時,您必須將雲的邊緣視為非常一流的構造。

  • And so in that context, the -- what we see is a couple of things that you see even in the results today.

    因此,在這種情況下,我們看到的是一些你甚至可以在今天的結果中看到的東西。

  • One is the hybrid benefit that is increasingly what is getting customers excited about the Azure choice and the fact that they can renew knowing that they have the flexibility of both the cloud and the edge.

    一是混合優勢越來越讓客戶對 Azure 的選擇感到興奮,而且他們知道自己擁有云計算和邊緣計算的靈活性,因此可以續訂。

  • That's definitely driving growth.

    這肯定會推動增長。

  • Second is we're also gaining share.

    其次是我們也在獲得份額。

  • When you think about what's happening even in the edge, some of the -- our data center edition products are very competitive in the marketplace.

    當您考慮即使在邊緣發生的事情時,我們的一些數據中心版本產品在市場上也非常具有競爭力。

  • And so you see both of those effects.

    所以你看到了這兩種效果。

  • But architecturally, we feel well placed.

    但在架構上,我們感覺很好。

  • In fact, at our Ignite Conference, you'll see us even take the next leap forward even in terms of how we think about the architecture inclusive of the application models, programming models on what distributed computing looks like going forward.

    事實上,在我們的 Ignite 大會上,您甚至會看到我們甚至在我們如何看待架構(包括應用程序模型、編程模型以及分佈式計算的未來發展趨勢)方面取得了下一個飛躍。

  • So we feel well positioned there.

    所以我們在那裡感覺很好。

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • And Keith, to your question on durability, we tried to call out the 4 points that we felt transactionally was due to the end of support, and that's 4 of the 12 in USD.

    基思,對於您關於耐用性的問題,我們試圖指出我們認為在交易上是由於支持終止的 4 點,這是 12 美元中的 4 點。

  • And so -- but for us, if you step back for a second, the durable trends that Satya just talked about, which is making sure we license in a way that respects this long-term reality of where data and compute will be needed is what we call the hybrid value proposition.

    所以——但對我們來說,如果你退後一步,Satya 剛剛談到的持久趨勢,即確保我們以尊重數據和計算需要的長期現實的方式進行許可是我們稱之為混合價值主張。

  • And the rights to that, of course, are inherent in how we report this number.

    當然,我們報告這個數字的方式固有的權利。

  • And so for us, what you'll see is premium strength, which we saw this quarter in both SQL and Windows because of some of the value proposition of hybrid and of course, broad strength as well when people feel that flexibility to not be constrained by licensing in terms of how they view their estate.

    因此,對我們而言,您將看到的是超強實力,我們本季度在 SQL 和 Windows 中都看到了這一點,因為混合動力的一些價值主張,當然還有廣泛的實力,當人們覺得這種靈活性不受限制時通過許可他們如何看待自己的財產。

  • This is a question for Amy.

    這是艾米的問題。

  • I was just wondering, you've been saying for a while now that you're seeing material improvements in Azure gross margins and that's obviously hugely benefited commercial cloud gross margin.

    我只是想知道,你已經說了一段時間了,你看到 Azure 毛利率有了實質性的改善,這顯然極大地受益於商業雲的毛利率。

  • I'm just wondering if you could share with us how much of the improvement is related to the need to maybe expand data centers at a lower clip than you have been.

    我只是想知道您是否可以與我們分享其中有多少改進與可能以比您以往更低的速度擴展數據中心的需求有關。

  • Maybe it's less depreciation and amortization that's coming -- that you're starting to recognize.

    也許即將到來的折舊和攤銷減少了-您開始意識到這一點。

  • How much of it is due to just better capacity utilization then?

    有多少是由於更好的產能利用率呢?

  • I'm just trying to get a sense of how much longer you're going to be able to say that for I guess.

    我只是想知道你還能說多久,因為我猜。

  • And just have you guys been ratcheting up your target gross margins for Azure over the years to where you think they could be as you look ahead?

    多年來,你們是否一直在將 Azure 的目標毛利率提高到您認為未來可能達到的水平?

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • Thanks, Heather.

    謝謝,希瑟。

  • Let me start by saying, in general, at the commercial cloud gross margin, what you're seeing is revenue growth that, for the past almost 2 years, has vastly been faster than our capital expenditure growth.

    讓我首先說,總的來說,在商業雲的毛利率上,你看到的是收入增長,在過去的近 2 年裡,它遠遠快於我們的資本支出增長。

  • So if you start at the top of the frame, what we're seeing is overall gross margin improvement across portfolio and improving -- and that comes from a couple of things, which is where you're getting to on Azure.

    因此,如果你從框架的頂部開始,我們看到的是整個投資組合的整體毛利率提高和提高——這來自於幾件事,這就是你在 Azure 上的目標。

  • It comes from structural improvement on sort of cost per unit, but it also comes from mix shift of revenue to premium services, from being able to sell more SaaS-like services and consumption services or even premium data services that really do have both more margin but also are quite consistent in terms of their growth.

    它來自於單位成本的結構性改進,但也來自於收入向優質服務的混合轉變,來自能夠銷售更多類似 SaaS 的服務和消費服務,甚至是真正具有更多利潤的優質數據服務但在增長方面也相當一致。

  • And you see then that represented as improving targets for us.

    然後你會看到這對我們來說是改進的目標。

  • But I would say in general, Heather, what the team has done is actually delivered on what I think we felt was a 5-year road map of improving gross margins on a material basis.

    但總的來說,Heather,我認為團隊所做的實際上是根據我認為我們認為在物質基礎上提高毛利率的 5 年路線圖。

  • Now as you continue to see the mix shift to the consumption-based Azure services, the overall cloud gross margin will improve at the same rate.

    現在,隨著您繼續看到混合轉向基於消費的 Azure 服務,整體雲毛利率將以相同的速度提高。

  • And we've said that, and you'll continue to see that on a go-forward basis as well.

    我們已經說過了,您也將繼續在前進的基礎上看到這一點。

  • But we do continue to expect Azure, especially on the consumption side gross margins, to improve.

    但我們確實繼續預計 Azure,尤其是在消費方面的毛利率會有所改善。

  • And they still have room to improve, especially as we start to see some of these premium services both being made available and being utilized at higher rates.

    而且它們仍有改進的空間,尤其是當我們開始看到其中一些優質服務既可用又以更高的價格使用時。

    Karl Emil Keirstead - Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst

  • Amy, question for you.

    艾米,問你。

  • When I look at your next quarter guidance by revenue segment, it seems to equate to an overall revenue growth rate assuming the midpoint of about 9% to 10%.

    當我按收入細分查看您的下一季度指導時,它似乎等同於假設中點約為 9% 至 10% 的整體收入增長率。

  • So when I combine that with the 14% growth you just put up in Q1, it implies that, in the second half, overall Microsoft revenue growth should remain roughly in the 10% zip code to enable you to get to double-digit growth for the full year despite the fact that you're moving past some fairly key end-of-support milestones.

    因此,當我將其與您剛剛在第一季度提出的 14% 增長結合起來時,這意味著在下半年,微軟的整體收入增長應該保持在 10% 的郵政編碼範圍內,以使您能夠實現兩位數的增長儘管您正在超越一些相當關鍵的支持終止里程碑,但全年都是如此。

  • I think some of us were expecting a little bit more of a first half, second half delta.

    我想我們中的一些人期望上半場、下半場的增量會多一點。

  • So I just wanted to ask you what are the maybe 1 or 2 or 3 drivers that enable you to sustain that growth rate in the second half and if it's fair to assume that your guidance doesn't really reflect any deterioration in the overall spending environment.

    因此,我只想問您,可能有 1 或 2 或 3 個驅動因素使您能夠在下半年維持這一增長率,並且假設您的指導並未真正反映整體支出環境的任何惡化是否公平.

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • I think in general, Karl, a couple of things I would point to or many of the things I talked about in the comments that we prepared, overall, Q1 was a very strong start commercially from a bookings perspective with some very strong trends across the board.

    總的來說,卡爾,我會在我們準備的評論中指出一些事情或我談到的許多事情,總體而言,從預訂的角度來看,第一季度在商業上是一個非常強勁的開端,整個市場都有一些非常強勁的趨勢木板。

  • Whether it is in both the absolute size and number of the Azure commitments that we're seeing, the consistency we're seeing in the consumption growth rates of Azure, the commitments we're seeing to Microsoft 365, some of the signs we're seeing across our Dynamics, the Power Platform, the workflow cloud that Satya referred to and LinkedIn, it's a good bookings quarter, a good execution quarter on overall contracting value.

    無論是我們看到的 Azure 承諾的絕對規模和數量、我們看到的 Azure 消費增長率的一致性、我們看到的對 Microsoft 365 的承諾,還是我們看到的一些跡象。從我們的 Dynamics、Power Platform、Satya 提到的工作流雲和 LinkedIn 中重新看到,這是一個很好的預訂季度,一個整體合同價值的良好執行季度。

  • Renewals were good, recapture rates were good, and new business was good.

    續訂很好,回收率很好,新業務也很好。

  • So with that confidence, some of those same trends that we had talked about, of course, show up through the year.

    因此,有了這種信心,我們討論過的一些相同趨勢當然會在一年中出現。

  • And we've tried to be consistent in that while end of support will make for points here and there each quarter, the more sustainable trends are the fact that our commercial cloud overall offers significant value and differentiation to customers and are making longer-term commitments and we continue to grow ARPU.

    我們一直在努力保持一致,雖然支持的結束將在每個季度在這里和那裡帶來點,但更可持續的趨勢是,我們的商業云總體上為客戶提供了重要的價值和差異化,並且正在做出長期承諾我們繼續增長 ARPU。

  • So when I think about sort of some of the seasonality that you're talking about, Q2, I felt we were -- I wanted to be clear that that's really a gaming challenge in Q2, and you see that reflected in the margins in Q2 being significantly better than they were last Q2.

    所以當我想到你所說的一些季節性因素時,第二季度,我覺得我們是——我想明確一點,這在第二季度確實是一個遊戲挑戰,你會在第二季度的利潤率中看到這一點比上一季度要好得多。

  • And if you think about H2, I do expect Surface will have some easier comparables in H2 and a new portfolio to grow from.

    如果你考慮 H2,我確實希望 Surface 在 H2 中會有一些更容易比較的產品,並且會有一個新的產品組合可供增長。

  • So I think that's another change you'll see in trajectory in H2 as well.

    所以我認為這也是你將在 H2 中看到的另一個變化。

  • It's a great question because we look at what's happening with AI having 2 dimensions to it.

    這是一個很好的問題,因為我們著眼於具有 2 個維度的 AI 正在發生什麼。

  • One is I would say just our own use of AI as first-party SaaS applications.

    一個是我會說我們自己將人工智能用作第一方 SaaS 應用程序。

  • There's some phenomenal breakthroughs.

    有一些驚人的突破。

  • When you see new transcription features or new computer vision features that come with HoloLens, all of these are being driven by new AI capabilities.

    當您看到 HoloLens 附帶的新轉錄功能或新計算機視覺功能時,所有這些都是由新的 AI 功能驅動的。

  • They're all, by the way, powered by the same cloud infrastructure.

    順便說一句,它們都由相同的雲基礎架構提供支持。

  • We all build everything at Microsoft with first party equals third party with Azure as the core platform.

    我們都在微軟構建一切,第一方等於第三方,以 Azure 為核心平台。

  • So what you see us is, in fact, using our own SaaS applications and consumer innovation even to drive the high-end AI capability but then bring the best-in-class tooling for enterprise customers.

    因此,您看到的我們實際上是使用我們自己的 SaaS 應用程序和消費者創新來推動高端 AI 能力,然後為企業客戶帶來一流的工具。

  • So for example, like we have innovated even in what does DevOps look like for the machine learning age.

    例如,就像我們在機器學習時代的 DevOps 外觀上進行了創新一樣。

  • That's a unique capability that's there in Azure ML.

    這是 Azure ML 中的一項獨特功能。

  • And those are the types of innovations that are even driving the projects that enterprise customers have on Azure.

    這些創新類型甚至推動了企業客戶在 Azure 上的項目。

  • So you'll see us leverage our overall spend, whether it's CapEx or OpEx across all of what Microsoft does and then surface them in, I think, what is perhaps the best way to get traction in the enterprise market, which is great tooling, compliance, security.

    所以你會看到我們在微軟所做的所有事情中利用我們的整體支出,無論是資本支出還是運營支出,然後將它們浮出水面,我認為,在企業市場中獲得牽引力的最佳方式可能是什麼,這是一個很好的工具,合規性、安全性。

  • And that's a place where we are making good progress.

    這是我們取得良好進展的地方。

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • And so for me, Mark, it's a little bit hard for me to say, gosh, we invest in AI here and you'll see it specifically here.

    所以對我來說,馬克,我有點難以說,天哪,我們在這裡投資人工智能,你會在這里特別看到它。

  • What I think you heard through Satya's commentary is actually AI woven through every layer and component of the entire tech stack and how important that is, whether you're participating at the Dynamics 365 layer with insights or whether you're using components like some of our customers are maybe for a natural interaction work.

    我認為您從 Satya 的評論中聽到的實際上是 AI 編織在整個技術堆棧的每一層和組件中,以及這有多重要,無論您是在 Dynamics 365 層中獲得洞察力,還是您是否正在使用諸如某些組件之類的組件我們的客戶也許是為了一個自然的交互工作。

  • And so for me, it is almost fundamental to see that cost and investment because you'll see it in margin and usage and frankly, product differentiation that we can provide versus our competitors.

    所以對我來說,看到成本和投資幾乎是基本的,因為你會看到它的利潤率和使用率,坦率地說,我們可以提供與競爭對手相比的產品差異化。

  • What I would say is, for us, it has been so important to remain focused on where growth and opportunity exist and to invest in those areas that are large, expansive and durable TAMs.

    我想說的是,對我們來說,繼續關注存在增長和機會的地方並投資於那些大型、廣闊和持久的 TAM 領域是非常重要的。

  • And I think when you think about where we've spent our time, both building products, investing in marketing, investing in sales capability and technical capability, it has been in many, if not all, of those places.

    而且我認為,當您考慮我們將時間花在哪裡時,無論是構建產品,投資於營銷,投資於銷售能力和技術能力,它已經在許多(如果不是全部)這些地方。

  • So when I look and say where is our execution or how do I think about our ability to execute in a macro environment, for me, it is about investing in the right places, executing in a great way, remaining focused on the transition our customers need us to help them through to create their own opportunity and their own growth.

    因此,當我查看並說出我們的執行在哪裡,或者我如何看待我們在宏觀環境中的執行能力時,對我來說,這是關於在正確的地方進行投資,以出色的方式執行,繼續專注於客戶的轉型需要我們幫助他們通過創造自己的機會和自己的成長。

  • And I think we've done a nice job of being invested in the right places.

    如果您考慮安全性、合規性、通信、工作流程、業務流程再造,清單可以繼續下去,我覺得我們已經建立了一個多年的旅程,以使其處於有利位置。

  • And I tend to think of every quarter, every year as an opportunity to continue to differentiate, invest in innovation and execute well to take share.

    而且我傾向於將每個季度、每年都視為繼續差異化、投資於創新和執行良好以獲取份額的機會。

    我們接下來要做的是應用程序和基礎設施,從第一局到第二局;對於數據和人工智能,開始第一局。

  • When it comes to security, compliance, we never participated in this.

  • Guess what?

    你猜怎麼了?

  • We get to participate in a fairly competitive way now.

  • So overall, I think this is again one of those things where, in the past, we participated in the infrastructure business, but we had a fairly narrow footprint, which is we had our own infrastructure that supported primarily our databases and our operating systems.

    所以總的來說,我認為這又是過去我們參與基礎設施業務的事情之一,但我們的足跡相當狹窄,即我們擁有自己的基礎設施,主要支持我們的數據庫和我們的操作系統。

  • Whereas with the migration to the cloud, customers are looking for us to be a provider of all their infrastructure needs, which is heterogeneous.

    而隨著向雲的遷移,客戶希望我們成為他們所有基礎設施需求的提供商,這是異構的。

  • And that's what has really led us at the infrastructure layer to have partnerships with VMware and Oracle.

    這正是我們在基礎架構層與 VMware 和 Oracle 建立合作夥伴關係的真正原因。

  • We, as you know, have first-class support for Windows and Linux, Java and .NET, Postgres and SQL, VMware, Red Hat as well as obviously Windows hypervisor.

    如您所知,我們對 Windows 和 Linux、Java 和 .NET、Postgres 和 SQL、VMware、Red Hat 以及顯然是 Windows 管理程序提供一流的支持。

  • So we -- I feel that we now have that ability to be able to take the entire infrastructure estate, the entire data estate and really add value with these partnerships.

    所以我們——我覺得我們現在有能力利用整個基礎設施資產、整個數據資產,並通過這些合作夥伴關係真正增加價值。

  • And SAP represents the same because SAP has got both infrastructure.

    SAP 代表相同,因為 SAP 擁有這兩種基礎架構。

  • We now are the preferred cloud, so I think it's a fairly no-brainer for any customer who's an SAP customer who wants to accelerate their migration to the cloud and innovation from SAP and us that they should move to Azure, and that's what this announcement was all about.

    我們現在是首選的雲,所以我認為對於任何想要加速從 SAP 和我們遷移到雲和創新的 SAP 客戶來說,他們應該遷移到 Azure,這就是本公告的內容就是這樣。

  • And so we're really looking forward to essentially executing on that strategy and that customer need that we see very clearly.

    Phil,對於您關於我們將在哪裡看到的問題,您實際上會在幾個地方看到它,而不僅僅是在 Azure 中,事實上,這可能是最合乎邏輯的擴展。

  • But at the heart of this is making it easier, faster and more reliable for us to help customers move their estate to the cloud and to migrate that with confidence.

    但其核心是讓我們更容易、更快、更可靠地幫助客戶將他們的資產遷移到雲端並充滿信心地進行遷移。

  • And so when we do that, it's about becoming a committed partner.

    因此,當我們這樣做時,就是要成為一個忠誠的合作夥伴。

  • And you actually see that in broader Microsoft Cloud results, whether that's helping even through these partnerships to be able and get closer to Tier 1 workloads, business process changes.

    而且您實際上在更廣泛的 Microsoft 雲結果中看到了這一點,即使通過這些合作夥伴關係能夠幫助並更接近第 1 層工作負載,業務流程也會發生變化。

  • And so I actually think these are quite important for us to continue to make sure the first goal is customer centric, which is why we continue to move in this direction.

    當我通過 Office 365 中的 Dynamics 以及圍繞商業領域中兩位數增長的可持續性的討論進行分析時,我們已經看到座位數量減少了。

  • Also, the uplift on pricing maybe isn't as much this quarter as we saw in the past, which leads me to believe that you are seeing a lot of success in the front-line worker piece and maybe that's a bigger driver of the seat count from here.

    此外,本季度的價格上漲可能沒有我們過去看到的那麼多,這讓我相信你在一線工人身上看到了很多成功,也許這是一個更大的推動力從這裡算起。

  • But can you just -- and at the same time, you're seeing strong uptake of the premium SKUs as well.

    但是你能不能——同時,你也看到了對高級 SKU 的強烈吸收。

  • But as we think about seat count going forward, how much opportunity is there still left on the migration front of commercial licenses versus leaning a bit more on things like front-line worker to sustain outgrowth?

    但是,當我們考慮未來的座位數時,商業許可證的遷移方面還有多少機會,而不是更多地依靠一線工人等東西來維持增長?

  • And is there a point where potentially the seat growth and things like frontline could start to eat further into your ability to continue to lift ARPU on the base you already have?

    讓我把這個問題分開,因為你實際上是在問我並不總是認為是權衡的重要動態,所以我想在我的回答中更清楚地說明這一點。

  • First, to your question on seat growth, we have room even beyond just first-line workers.

    首先,對於您關於座位增長的問題,我們甚至超出了一線工人的空間。

  • Whether that is our ability in small- and mid-sized businesses, on a global basis with mobile-first workers, this is a very broad opportunity for us to reach people trying to accomplish tasks and do their work on devices of any size.

    無論這是我們在中小型企業中的能力,還是在全球範圍內以移動優先的員工為基礎,這對我們來說是一個非常廣泛的機會,可以接觸到試圖完成任務並在任何尺寸的設備上完成工作的人們。

  • And so there is significant room for us to continue to make progress on that front.

    因此,我們有很大的空間繼續在這方面取得進展。

  • Now could that end up with some ARPU pressure long term?

    現在這是否會導致長期的 ARPU 壓力?

  • It certainly could, but the important -- for me, I don't think of that as being necessarily a negative.

    當然可以,但重要的是——對我來說,我認為這不一定是負面的。

  • We used to really make no money through these seats that we just talked about.

    我們過去通過我們剛才談到的這些席位真的不賺錢。

  • And so every dollar or multiple dollars or many dollars earned on those new seats is all new revenue, new opportunity and new socket for us.

    因此,在這些新座位上賺取的每一美元或多美元或多美元對我們來說都是新的收入、新的機會和新的插座。

  • Let me separate that from the next dynamic, which is why sort of an average number may not be the best indication, which is our ability to continue to move people to higher-value SKUs, whether that's through the addition of really compelling things in security or compliance or communications or collaboration or knowledge or learning, where we can add value.

    讓我將其與下一個動態分開,這就是為什麼平均數字可能不是最好的指示,這是我們繼續將人們轉移到更高價值 SKU 的能力,無論是通過在安全性方面添加真正引人注目的東西或合規性或溝通或協作或知識或學習,我們可以增加價值。

  • Whether we call that E5 or E3, we have room in that transition as well and new opportunity in a way that I'm not sure I've seen us.

    無論我們稱其為 E5 還是 E3,我們在過渡中也有空間和新的機會,但我不確定我是否見過我們。

  • I feel very optimistic about M365 -- I'm sorry, Microsoft 365 and our ability to continue to add value.
