Chapter 573: New Trends
It may be that Zhou Shi is a pig's foot, and his companies are developing well. NetSuite, for example, got rid of Larry Ellison's shackles and actually revitalized his original CEO Zacheri Nielsen (Ivan Goldberg is the founder and CTO of NetSuite). In addition, we will fully shift to the SaaS industry, increase investment in CRM systems, and learn the policy of salesforce. In particular, the competition with Aneel Bhusri, the former founder and CEO of orkday, also filled Nielsen with a sense of crisis.
NetSuite, which Zhou Shi wants, is a service company, not a product company, providing users with cloud-based enterprise management software services as its main income, and at the same time providing more professional customized services for some high-end users. Through their services, even multinational enterprises and sensitive companies can realize all employees in the world to work online, data entry, modification and other management (ERP) work at the same time, management can rely on real-time data to make judgments on problems, multinational companies can achieve a global unified version of seamless connection, and all employees can log in to the web, desktop and mobile versions for data manipulation.
"My short-term goal is to provide enterprises with a full suite of cloud-based human resource management software services. "Arnell Boothry
Although Zhou Shi did not express his position, he must be inclined to let David Duffield become the head of NetSuite, this ten-year-old company, the market value in 2007 was 2.1 billion US dollars, and the market value after ten years is not 20 billion. Moreover, Renke has been involved in ERP and CRM management systems before, and is no stranger to this industry at all.
NetSuite acquired orkday through a stock-and-cash approach, and Time Holdings held 57 percent of the new company. As the bosses of Time Holdings and Cloud Computing Division, Pichai and Zhou Jingren both joined the new NetSuite company and took control of the board of directors.
Some people don't understand the advanced nature of the SaaS industry, for example, for most companies, the most feared thing is the departure of salespeople, because once the salesperson leaves, customer information and historical records may be gone. However, with a cloud CRM system, all customer relationship management is put in the cloud. Everyone can go directly to the cloud to query customer interaction information, even if you are on a business trip, you can easily query various customer information. This system can also record how many calls each sales made, how many interactions with customers, how to allocate resources, and finally see whether the distribution of resources and the structure of income match, so that after several analyses, it is very easy to maximize resources and improve the company's operational efficiency. Although the functions of the SaaS industry are not as good as traditional software for the time being, and even the security and stability are not as good, the huge convenience and low cost (the user's use cost is only 30~50% of the traditional solution) is the most advantageous weapon for them to open up the market.
"In addition to going all-in on SaaS and investing in technology R&D, I plan to acquire Pardot, a marketing automation company (one of Salesforce's most important marketing tools, and iGoDigital, a data analytics company, to complement our marketing software services. Pichai told the NetSuite conference that he was unhappy with the company's sales and wanted to rely on outside resources to make improvements, plus the two companies were not worth much. Although the new company implements a dual-CEO system, and Zacheri Nelson and Arnell Busley are both CEOs, Pichai is the chairman and has the right to manage these things, as for why Zhou Shi can attend the meeting, MMP, you have the ability to raise objections and say this.
The continuous acquisition of small companies is the best way for the company to grow, Zhou Shi has been acquiring over the years, but most of them used to be cash acquisitions, and now they can be acquired with shares, which feels too different. Stocks, as long as enough control is enough, too much is actually meaningless. Technology companies are not real estate companies, and the most important resource is talent, not land, capital and policy. There is a lot of knowledge about the balance of wealth and people, and there is a lot of knowledge about the balance of wealth. An excellent enterprise can not succeed with a good idea, but also needs people to realize the idea, if you can succeed with money, then there will not be so many small and medium-sized enterprises in the world to grow into a new Fortune 500. There are many contingencies in the success and failure of a company, and Nokia is very representative. I didn't do anything wrong, but I just failed.
Thinking of Nokia, Zhou Shi remembered Rubinstein, who had left the company, and was promoting the cooperation between Nokia and Time Android. Microsoft had no choice but to choose its long-standing partner HTC, a Wanwan mobile phone manufacturer that was not at a price due to the rise of the shell, but the two sides do not seem to have reached an agreement yet.
Now in Google's Android camp, although Guoke has the highest attention and the best mobile phone sales, his position is relatively special. And there is also time Android as another option, so the boss of Android now is Samsung phones. Although it has been eye-to-eye with Time Android, due to a variety of considerations, the system actually used is still based on Android to make its own improvements. At this time, the market share of mobile phone operating systems, the highest is Nokia's Symbian, followed by Google's Android, Time's Android and Apple's IOS, and finally the operating system of BlackBerry mobile phones, although there are other mobile operating systems on the market, which are basically negligible. Not to mention the Symbian operating system, the technology is backward and will be eliminated sooner or later. Google, Time and Apple's three systems are roughly 2:1:1, but the development speed of Time Android is very fast, if Nokia invests in Time Android, the future market pattern is really hard to say.
In the face of Android and Android's attack, Apple is helpless against the nutshell, whether it is communication or multi-touch, Time Android has applied for a lot of patents in this field. But Samsung is different, this company's strength in the smartphone industry chain is undoubted, no one can compare, but Apple grabbed the handle, and took it to court, arguing that Samsung's izTouch (based on Android) infringed on the iOS interface patent, and asked it to be banned in the United States.
"Apple can really toss, and when it is still in trouble, it begins to find trouble with others. In the face of the treacherous mobile phone market, Feng Xing complained about Apple.
"They must have their own purposes, what do you say Tim Cook is thinking?" Zhou Shi
"Organize the development of Google Android. "Feng Xing
"Isn't that more beneficial to Time Android and Guoke Nuts?" Zhou Shi, although Samsung's smartphone business is developing rapidly, it is still small compared to Guoke, and Guoke is the biggest competitor in the IPhone high-end mobile phone market. Not to mention that many of Apple's spare parts also need the cooperation of Samsung Group.
"Yes, why did it hit Samsung, isn't this a contribution to us?" Feng Xing obviously reacted that things were not so simple.
