利益为先 Salesforce与微软化敌为友.pptxVIP

Marc Benioff, the voluble CEO of Salesforce, has never been shy about taking potshots at Microsoft. To wit: at TechCrunch Disrupt in September he callled the company aquot;complete disasterquot; and said the only way to save it was to bring back Bill Gates as CEO, at least for long enough to give him time to push the quot;reset button.quot; Salesforce公司首席执行官马克o贝尼奥夫一向十分健谈、语出惊人，抨击起微软公司（Microsoft）来从来不会不好意思。这不：在去年九月举行的TechCrunch Disrupt大会上他就曾经把微软称为“彻头彻尾的灾难”，还说拯救它的唯一办法就是把比尔o盖茨请回来做首席执行官，而且至少要给他足够长的时间，让他能按下“重启键”。 Oh, what a difference a few months -- and a new Microsoft CEO -- can make. 噢，才花了几个月时间——再加上一位新官上任的微软首席执行官——一切就全变样了。 On Thursday Benioff was busy giving the warmest of corporate embraces to Satya Nadella, Microsofts new CEO, as the two companies signed a broad strategic partnership. quot;I am absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Satya,quot; Benioff said during a teleconference with reporters and analysts. quot;I couldnt be happier with how things have gone.quot; Benioff also took to Twitter, where he posted smiling photos of him and Nadella side-by-side looking like BFFs. 上周四，这两家公司签署了广泛的战略合作伙伴协议。就在签约仪式上，贝尼奥夫充满热情地忙着向微软新任首席执行官萨蒂亚o纳德拉示好。贝尼奥夫在与记者和分析师开电话会议时说：“能与萨蒂亚合作我真是太激动了。迄今为止，一切进展顺利，让我深感欣慰。” 贝尼奥夫也喜欢玩Twitter，还特地发了与纳德拉的各种合影。照片上两人并肩而立、面带微笑，活像一对一辈子的老朋友。 Nadella returned the affection. quot;Its a pleasure working with you and your team,quot; he said during the call. quot;I couldnt be more pleased that we are partnering across many areas of our business.quot; 纳德拉也积极回应了这股热乎劲。他在这个会议上称：“能与您及您的团队合作十分愉快。我们能在多个业务领域达成合作让我十分高兴。” The details of the deal will be important to the enterprise customers of both companies. The companies laid out some of them in a press release, and more specifics are sure to emerge in coming days. 双方合作的细节对这两家公司的企业客户来说至关重要。在新闻发布会上，两家公司公布了一些合作事项，更具体的细节肯定会在近日披露。 Perhaps more important, the deal is the latest indication that while Nadella is not Gates, he has indeed pushed the reset button at Microsoft (MSFT). Nadella announced the partnership with Sales
