Breaking Analysis | VMworld 2019
>> live from San Francisco, celebrating 10 years of high tech coverage. It's the Cube covering Veum World 2019. Brought to you by VM Wear and its ecosystem partners. >> Welcome back, everyone. Day three Q coverage here in San Francisco for V emerald. 2019. I'm just for a student, Um, in here with David Lan. Take days free kick off. We have two sets wall to wall coverage. Guys, this is the time where we get to take a deep breath two days under our belts look and reflect on all the news we've covered in a dark to last analysis sessions but also kind of riff on. We got two nights in hallway conversations we learned a lot of the party means do. I learned a lot last night. Dave. I know you. You learned a lots, do you, Thomas? When things that the chatter Certainly twittersphere hashtag the emerald. A lot of action on there, but it's the hallway conversations. It's the party that people have a few cocktails in them day that you start to hear the truth. The real deal comes out, >> No doubt. And and again Jon Stewart, there's real concern over from the from the practitioners we talked to about this acquisition spree. Are they going to be integrated? Are they going to just throw all this stuff at us and keep jamming products and service is down our throats? Or is this going to be a coherent set of solutions that solves our problem? We also had a little little interesting side conversation about, you know, Snowflake, Frank's lumens new company and how basically Frank is bringing back the Pirates from Data Domain and from service. Now Mike Scarpelli is over there. He's a rock star. CFO Beth White is eventually is back over there. And Frank's Lupin. He's the guy who takes companies from, you know, 100 million to a billion, so that's gonna be >> very serious money making him going on there. >> We have been following his career for a number of years now. We watched him take data domain. We watched him pull that that rabbit out of his hat with the sale with net app, and then the emcee swooped in. And then we saw what he did service. Now we've documented this is an individual to watch, you know, >> he's a world class management team member I mean, he's executes. >> Oh, yeah, no doubt. And >> he has >> a formula that's been proven and in time and time again. And to me, the biggest testament salute Min is the success of the continued success of Data Domain. After he left Hey, he really helped clean up the emcees data protection mess. Um, and then the second thing is, look at service now is performance after he left, I haven't missed a beat. And, yeah, John Donahoe, great executive and all, but it's because Frank's Lubin had everything in place and that was a really well run >> dry. And they got a nice little oracle like business model. >> Yeah. No, you're right. They kind of, you know, the big complaint now as well. Your price is too high that Oracle. >> What have you learned? What you hear in the hallways? I mean, a lot of chatter. >> Yes, John, we We've been reflecting back a lot. It's 10 years in 10th year of the Cube here and back here in San Francisco. The new Mosconi, our third show that I've been at this year in Mosconi and we always track year to year. But since it's been what 45 years since we were here for VM World. When I talked to the average vendor. When I talk to you know, the analysts here were like, Oh, thank goodness we're not in Vegas. When I talked to the average attendee, they're like, Oh my God, what happened to San Francisco since last time we were here? It is too expensive. And the experience walking around San Francisco has really not nearly as nice as it might have been five or 10 years ago. And many of them we were talking to, Ah, woman that runs an event that has been Vegas in San Francisco. And she said, Oh, we did in San Francisco and got tremendous feedback. Don't do it there again. Brings back to Vegas both for costs and the enjoyment of being around the environment. >> Where was a shit show here in San Francisco is horrible right now, I got to say to your right eye was walking this morning from my hotel. Literally. A homeless person passed out the middle of the sidewalk. Um, your smells like urine. It's P, and it's It's just I mean, it's really bad this tense now. I mean City of San Francisco is gonna do some. Mosconi, by the way, has been rebuilt. Awesome. So, you know, in terms of the new Mosconi stew, that's a serious upgrade. Hotel rooms are scarce and just the homeless problem. It's just ridiculous. I don't know what they're >> doing. So one of the other big things when I was reflecting coming into here two years ago when VM wear really started down right before the war on AWS announcement, they made a big announcement. IBM because they had sold off the cloud air toe Oh, VH And for two years Oh, VH was a big partner, Talked about that transition, said we handed off this great asset over h isn't here at the show. I was like, Oh, my gosh, you know, that was, you know, such a big story and other companies like New >> 12. That's good. One lets someone who's not at the show and why. Yeah, oh, VH wired to hear >> They aren't here because, well, they've got customers. More of them are in Europe That was supposed to be a big entry into the United States. Obviously, it wasn't as valuable for them to be here, even though I'm sure they're still part of that service provider ecosystem. They have other big one for us, and we've had on the Cube Nutanix. You know, we've had Dheeraj Pandey. First time we had him on was that this show is still the majority of Nutanix. Customers are VM where customers I've talked to lots of Nutanix customers at the event, even part of the analyst event. Some of the customers I talked to were like, Oh, yeah, my hardware stacks Nutanix and amusing NSX. And I'm using other things there. But they are not here. They're not allowed to be at the show. And I >> mean, they were blatantly told they can't come. >> They can't come here. They can't come to the regional things. They can't do the partner things. So that that that relationship is definitely >> from red hat. What kind of presence have you seen from Red s? >> So their number companies like red Hat that they're kept at a lower level of sponsorship. So they're here. They participate, you know. Open shift, of course, is you know, big enemy for cloud native. Lots of open shift runs on V sphere. So many of those companies that are part of the ecosystem, but not the ones that they want to celebrate and put front and forward. So it's always interesting kind of walk around on those. Even Microsoft is an interesting relationship for, you know, decades with the M wear. You know, of course, azure they partner with. But hyper V was long a competitors. So, you know, we understand those competitive relationships >> could be interesting. Stew and Dave on the ecosystem Jerry Chan Day when we just doing my interview yesterday on the other set mentioned that the ecosystem reinvents itself the community. The question now is with Delhi emceeing Del Technologies obviously heard Michael Dell essentially laying out his plan, which is he's got. He's trying to keep people distracted, but the bottom line is going to top people putting together the cloud right well service provider model. So you know, that's what he's gonna be a big impact. VM wear the crown jewel of Del Technologies certainly is looking more and more like It's >> well and yesterday remember the first VM world we did in 2010? It was It was del I mean course and see only the time Who's Del? It was H p Yes, the emcee was there, but it was net app. I mean, everybody could've had equal standing yesterday at the keynotes. It was Project Dimension of V M, where cloud on Delhi emcee and long keynotes >> data protection into the VM were >> also it's It's all very heavily, you know, Jeff Clarke has his his thumb on, you know, the the deli emcee folks pushing that through Veum where Michael is orchestrating the whole thing. Pat obviously is allowing it. I was sitting in the audience Next next, Some folks from Netapp they're like, you know, this kind of a bummer. Calvin Sito from h p e tweeted Wow how to stick it in the face of your ecosystem partners. He then later went on Facebook saying, Hey, I love this ecosystem, so sort of balancing it out because, you know, he wants to be a good, good citizen, but clearly the ecosystem partners who basically brought VM where you know, to the the position where it's in through distribution, our little ruffled. Right now you can't blame him, But at the same time, the mandate is clear. Michael Dell is driving his products and his solutions through VM were period the end. And, you know, if you don't like it, leave >> right. They had such great success with V San and VX rail in that joint product development and go to market. If they can replicate that with a number of other solutions, they get that the synergies. If >> you don't like it, don't leave. That leave is worse than that. They say you don't like it, you know, invited you. But >> how about what Pat said yesterday in the Cube about when they announced on Gwen heavily leaned into V san. He said publicly that Joe Tucci was pissed and I hate her. They were going at it so that so that shows you the change, right? I mean, so so so e m. C. When it owned VM where was very cautious about allowing Veum wears a software company to drive value somewhere Now is just acting like a software company. >> Well, I think I mean, I learned last night's do, um and you can appreciate this. I learned that the top executives of'em where are looking heavily and working hard at understanding and drive them kubernetes cloud native thing because this is not a throwaway deal. This is not a you know, far anything that they are investing. They get their top brass tech execs on kubernetes fto. Two big players job. Ada, Craig McCaw calumnies. We know interviews since day one, but I think the cloud native thing is going to be interesting. And I think it's gonna be evolution. I think there's gonna be a very dynamic road thing's gonna be a series, of course, corrections, but directionally they're all in on. They're going for it, they're not. >> And actually, I had a, you know, good discussion with Chad Attack. It's a good friend of the program now working at GM, where for the first time, but came from AMC worked at Pivotal. He said, culturally, such a gap between VM wear don't have to touch your app, you know, move everything along lifted shift is nice and easy versus pivotal, you know must go completely You know, dual programming, you know, agile everything there, so bridging those because there's multiple paths and the rail pharaoh announcement is that would be cloud native stuff that won't necessarily go to the EMS. We're going to retool V EMS to now be a platform for kubernetes so that they have a few passed to bridge or to build towards the future. Here's the >> answer strategy. Discussion That and Rayo Farrell was now running Cloud native. Think this is just really >> ties in the interesting discussion that I had with some folks was that you've essentially got well, Jerry Chen brought this up last time we had him on it and reinventing because >> we have >> a conversation all the time about this Amazon have to go up the stack. And Jerry Chen made a really he said, Look, it they're not They're not gonna become an e r peace offer company. What they're gonna do is give tools to the builders so that they can disrupt Europea. They can disrupt service. Now they can disrupt Oracle. That's their strategy, at least for now. Okay, so what does that say? I think the strategy discussion inside of'em were and and l is about by whatever clouds gonna be 35 to 50% of the market. Fine. And the cloud native abs. Great. But you got this mission critical. E r p is an example. Database saps that are on Prem. What we have to do is keep them there. So we're going to sell to the incumbents and we're going to give them cloud native tools, toe modernize. Those APS have build new acts on Prem, and that's the that is the collision course that's coming. So the big question is, can the cloud native guys and AWS disrupt that >> huge? I've always said I'm is on and like the way they're coming in, a tsunami is coming in. And who's gonna build that sea wall to stop it right? And that's essentially only hope that these guys have. You look at all the competitive strategy. Was Oracle. Whoever just gotta stop it? You can't like >> the sea >> wall. That's a great building. A sea wall I was, I would say, is Is that you know, they're only hope at this point is to, you know, get in the game because see Amazon is the stack. They're not really moving up the stack. You hear that from Cisco and Dale and other people? That's where it's a game of musical chairs. Right now, the music's you know, there's still a lot of shares left, but soon chairs getting pulled away and Cisco Deli emcee VM, where they're all fighting for these big chairs. And one >> thing >> we talked about yesterday is that VM wears very directional, product driven. Otherwise they pick a direction, is a statement of direction and don't really have a lot of meat on the bone. In the product side, Sister is actually in market with service providers there in market with NETWORKINGS to this no vapor there that's installed basis and incumbent business. You have developers Esso Baton talks about suffered to find data center, suffer defined networking. I mean, come on, Really. I mean, they're getting there, but it didn't have the complete solution. Cisco >> Coming into this week, I expected here a bit more about the progress and all the customers of'em wear on AWS and feel like Vienna actually downplayed the AWS. We know what a strong partnership it is at every Amazon show we go to, and we got a lot of them Now there's a big presence there, and I can talk to customers that are starting to roll out and move there, but it felt like it was David's. You pointed out there are some messaging differences when you talk about multi cloud and how they're positioning it. So, you know, put those >> here Amazon. If your Amazon you're not happy with Microsoft Dell Technologies World The big announcement that was positioned a cloud foundation Although it wasn't a joint engineering, But the press picked it up as though the Amazon deal has been replicated with Microsoft and Google. I mean, you gotta be gotta be hurt if your Amazon >> So I've I've just been taking notes this this event, there's I've noted at least five major points of difference between a W s what they're saying and their philosophy and the anywhere so eight of us. We know they they don't talk multi cloud. They've told their partners, If you're doing joint marketing with us, you cannot say multi cloud aws that reinforce John. We saw this. Steven Schmidt said that this narrative that security is broken doesn't help the industry. Security's not broken, you know, we're doing great. The state of the nation is wonderful. Aws Matt. Not really. I agree. By the way. Uh, that's not the case. I agree with Pat saying Security's broken. It's a do over VM where wants to be the best infrastructure and developer software company. Who's the best infrastructure and software development platform. Eight of us. The M one wants to be the security cloud. Who's the security cloud? Eight of us. And then, uh, they talked about 10,000 cloud data Listeners are those really cloud data centers at Vienna. And the last one was this was a little nuanced Veum was talking about We know about migrating, modernize, lifted ship shift and then modernize The empire's not talking about modernize and then migrate. If you want to. I totally in conflict >> as a collision course. That's got Look, look, look at the data center was Look, it looks like we're going. We're going away, right to the data center. Staying. That's music to Michael Dell's VM. Where's years they live in the Data City? Do you pointed out yesterday? Data Senate goes away. So does begin. Where's business? >> One of things. I'm surprised. I'm wondering you both have talked to some of the service fighter telco pieces of'em, where they're doing that project dimension, which is the VM where stack on del that looks just like outposts on. And I know they had deployments on this for months. If I was them, you know, it's everybody's hearing about Outpost to talk about it, being more like we're already doing it in. This has you in that Amazon ecosystem. It might be a little strong for the Amazon story, but have you been hearing any about that this week? >> I think they keep a lot of cards close to the chest, but it's clear from the announces that they're doing certainly del the VM, where on Delhi Emcee Cloud or whatever it's called, it's not a cloud but their their infrastructure that is essentially a managed service. That's gonna be really strong for I t. People, because I think that the value proposition of going toe i t and saying we have this, you don't need to do anything. It's very strong, I mean, because I didn't want him >> and justified because this the project to mention it is that single, that thinner stack like what we saw on Outpost in the Amazon video, as opposed to Veum, where cloud on AWS, which is the full C i r h d. I stack. >> I haven't heard anything still on >> well, but the conversation I had from from Vienna, where standpoint, they could make money on that manage service. That's why it's the preferred partnership, right? And so that's their part of their cloud play. If you don't have a public cloud, I said this yesterday, you have to redefine Cloud and you have to get into cloud service. And that's what's happening. And that's exactly what's happening. And what I like about what V M where is doing is they are transitioning their model to a sass based model. Now it's only 12 and 1/2 percent of the revenues today. But both pivotal and carbon black are gonna add, you know, ah, $1,000,000,000 next year to that subscription based $3 billion in year two. Um, and so you know, Pat said the other day, I think we could get to 50 50. I don't necessarily think in the near term we're gonna go beyond that. It's not the Adobe >> way could be critical. Critical of'em were in some areas, but I gotta tell you their core strength that they went to a software operators on the data center friend of prices. That's been a great strategy. Focusing on their core building from there is Jerry 10 point out adding other products so their software company, So I think they're really got a good solution. And you? The data shows that people are increasing their spending, John. Just one based on >> that. Because I had a couple of really good conversation with customers, customers that would deploy VCF So they've got the full stack on there. So using H C I, but not necessarily on Dell hardware, could be Cisco Hardware. Could be HB hardware in the like or they're buying NSX. But the virtual ization team owns it, and they get kind of put in. A box storage team says That's not the array I'm used to buy. Well, maybe I'll put a pure storage box and put it in between. The networking team says I'm refreshing my Cisco hardware. You know, we're like, but we have NSX, and it's great. Well, you can use NSX over there. We're going to use a C I over here. So the term I heard from a number of customers is organizations still have hardware to find roles, and they're trying to figure out how to move to that software world. Which hurts me, cause I spent years trying to get beyond silos and helping people you know, move through those environments. And still, in 2019 it's a big challenge. That organizational shift is we know how tough that is. >> So just couple points in the data, because you're right. There are some countervailing trends, though. So, yes, people are spending Maurin VM where in the second half. But at the same time, the data shows that cloud is hurting VM wear spend. So this that's kind of gets interesting. Our containers gonna kill VM where? No, there's no evidence that container's air hurting VM where spend. But there's clearly risks there, you know, as we've talked about who's best position of multi cloud. Well, it turns out three guys with the public cloud are best positioned in multi Google and Microsoft on, and so and then the pivotal thing is interesting, and ties ties all this in so that the data is actually really interesting. It's like you're seeing tugs at both sides, and I think your your notion about the seawall is dead on. That's exactly what they're doing. >> You see that with Oracle's trying to stop jet. I just want they can't win this one to stop Amazon just on the tracks gave great data. Great reporting, Stoop. Good observations. Get all the day that night and parties we're gonna certainly keep doing that. Day three of wall to wall coverage here. You bringing to the insights and interviews here live from the Emerald Twin 19. Stay with us for more after this short break.
SUMMARY :
Brought to you by VM Wear and its ecosystem partners. a lot of the party means do. He's the guy who takes companies from, you know, 100 million to a billion, to watch, you know, And the biggest testament salute Min is the success of the continued success of Data Domain. And they got a nice little oracle like business model. They kind of, you know, the big complaint now as well. What you hear in the hallways? When I talk to you know, the analysts here were like, Oh, thank goodness we're not in Vegas. So, you know, in terms of the new Mosconi stew, I was like, Oh, my gosh, you know, that was, you know, 12. That's good. Some of the customers I talked to were like, They can't do the partner things. What kind of presence have you seen from Red s? Even Microsoft is an interesting relationship for, you know, decades with the M wear. So you know, that's what he's gonna be a big the emcee was there, but it was net app. brought VM where you know, to the the position where it's in through distribution, If they can replicate that with a number of other solutions, they get that the you know, invited you. They were going at it so that so that shows you the change, right? This is not a you know, far anything that they are investing. And actually, I had a, you know, good discussion with Chad Attack. Discussion That and Rayo Farrell was now running Cloud native. a conversation all the time about this Amazon have to go up the stack. You look at all the competitive strategy. Right now, the music's you know, In the product side, Sister is actually in market with service providers there in market with NETWORKINGS So, you know, put those I mean, you gotta be gotta be hurt if your Amazon And the last one was this was a little nuanced Veum That's got Look, look, look at the data center was Look, it looks like we're going. If I was them, you know, it's everybody's hearing about Outpost to talk about it, value proposition of going toe i t and saying we have this, you don't need to do anything. and justified because this the project to mention it is that single, that thinner stack like what Um, and so you know, Pat said the other day, Critical of'em were in some areas, but I gotta tell you their core strength that trying to get beyond silos and helping people you know, move through those environments. you know, as we've talked about who's best position of multi cloud. Get all the day that night and parties we're gonna certainly keep doing that.

Day 2 Kickoff | ServiceNow Knowledge15
live from Las Vegas Nevada it's the cute covering knowledge 15 brought to you by service now okay hello everyone we are live for day two of coverage this is the cube our flagship program we go out to the events and extract the signal noise we go over here live in service now's knowledge 15 hashtag no 15 you want to join the conversation we have a back channel live chat on crowd chat new application which I'm excited Dave to show the guys from Sarah's neck as they love good software so but a crowd shot net / no 15 and see the conversation ask questions join our virtual social experience and we'll be happy to address that with your day to coverage live in Las Vegas out of three full days yesterday was a great day we had Frank sloop enough CEO opening up the day really laying down and and in clarifying the future of service now certainly they took a bath on the the stock last week on their earnings still in throwing off a lot of lot of cash great platform business great buying opportunity as Dave and I were speculating and ended the day with John Cleese famous actor writer comedian who we had some fun we try to bring a little bit of Jon Stewart a little bit of Jimmy Fallon I'm jump Road Dave vellante Dave what you think about yes that your laptop working parts of my lap water here I've lost my return key in my M so what you think John Cleese k the holy grail of our of our of our program yesterday he was great I mean we had a nice little bit going on there all ad lib just for the record folks he was not pissed he was totally happy at a great time but was all ad-lib he challenged us on the cube and it was great seeing after we were nervous and he's a pro we couldn't even hold a candle to his performance David it was great seeing him afterwards he came up to us yellow hey mr. classy came up and high-five and a smiling laughing it was great smart guy what you think of the inter very opinionated I thought the interview was great I mean it was weird but it was great I top guest top test of six years he's on a great show we had about you know 50 people behind that's all watching so it was really a lot of fun again but let's get back to the event here day two well you know another top guest coming up today is Fred ludie I think you're really going to enjoy interviewing and you heard him on the keynote John he was talking about the new development platform the new UI the new mobile app all that he was geeking out on all the technologies a lot of things that you're very familiar with borrowing from you know real-time geolocation leveraging the camera in the mobile app a lot of technologies borrow from Facebook and Twitter and a whole that whole real-time crowd a lot of stuff that that that crowd chat uses I know you talk about it all the time angularjs and all these kind of things that people don't understand our new crowd chat application go to crouch at that poke around look at the live one but what you'll notice on that app is one hundred percent as synchronous we use cutting-edge technologies like bootstrap we use angularjs and our new crowd pages coming out we have knowed Java on the backend for analytics really a cross-section of all the different language but node bootstrap angular these are the technologies that truly make it a singer's Facebook by the way is not a synchronous you've got to load the page having a synchronous communications loose from WebSockets days of web browser to fully available data real-time so near real-time is the holy grail today and basically instant is going to be defensive state-of-the-art today in software development that's what service now is showing on the stage and again a lot of it resonated because I hear you talking about all the time and I see it I see the green dot I see the presence I see the real-time nature and that's really what today's modern apps are all about and we'll talk about that today in detail what's under the hood for service now and again I can reiterate what a great software platform service now has I am super impressed the people here a passion about what they do Dave and I say you know we're going to get with Fred and here the founder story the prot chief product officer and all his folks because what they're building is the future generation Frank's Ludeman is a world-class CEO we heard the story of how he was hired you know Fred Letty said his keynote I wake up every day and I want to write code I don't want to be the CEO they hired Frank's luqman built a great business but not only do they have great business fundamentals and how they're executing their business plan Dave they have a great product leadership team the founder stays around every successful company that I talked to and i can highlight you look at them you name them all the ones that are the really sustainable companies Dave the founder stays around this is a lesson that the top VCS and Silicon Valley and around the world are now paying attention to is do not boot the founders out of the company marc andreessen with injuries Horowitz absolutely adamant founder friendly means growth and sustainability the old days of kick the founder out don't work ServiceNow is a great case study of a company that has grown from a seed idea go to market one booth at a show get some customers get some funding have a grade VC build a great product and continually to go to the next level and I think that's the story for us today what's the next level for service now what is that and you're going to see two major themes cloud born in the cloud capabilities asynchronous real-time presidents to enterprise grade enterprise-grade means you can't you can be born in the cloud and enterprise grade that's the Holy Grail Dave that is the key question people ask can you be enterprise-grade can you be agile can you have integrated stacks can you do stuff in real time and do it at a speed and at a scale that's the premise of the cloud and service now is delivering that so even my take on that so I mean you're talking about a cool tech behind it and there's a whole nother story here and Fred muddy and Dave right took us down memory lane today you know sort of the history of the company and going back to the original first knowledge and San Diego showed some pictures that was all fine and well and good but the fact is the piece that I want to add to what you just said is the customer angle I treated out yesterday Frank's lubin has made a career and identifying pain points and resolving those pain points essentially selling aspirin is what I call it and so that's what service now is doing there resolving the pain points within organizations it was interesting to note Dave right and Fred Lunney talked about how in 2008 when the economy was collapsing and Sequoia Capital you remember John put out that famous memo you better you hunker down conserve cash and Fred ludie showed the audience his counterpoint and basically it makes sense to me because what happened in 2008-2009 is people said let's let's start moving to the cloud more aggressively let's ship shift capex to op X and let's try to save money and service now is one of those technologies that really you know is all about saving money we kind of lived through that John right we were the open source version of information and so we have tons of demand around that time for our content service now in a whole different world saw uptick in demand and so they are really out solving customer problems dealing with process problems we're now seeing sort of the next wave the next evolution of that around email and how email is used as a workflow management system and is ineffective at that the hole forms business going to mobile and you saw today in the mobile apps it wasn't forms oriented it wasn't forms front and center forms is still there but it wasn't all about the forms it was all about the mobile experience so they're transitioning from this sort of forms based automation to one that's more mobile optimized that's something to talk to Fred yeah I think I think which day was your pointing out is is that the highlight of during a crisis at Fred Letty pointed out in OA at a critical inflection point of the company Sequoia Capital issued out a memo to all their portfolio come a little bit inside baseball but important to note that they said bunker down hunker down filled a bunker hoard your cash service now and this is where I love this company right they wrote a counter memo to their customers and the venture has a no no this is the winds are shifting we see an opportunity because their customers were going under or having financial problems they shifted their product value proposition to saving cash consolidation and creating an opportunity out of the crisis and I think this is the opportunity with cloud as you pointed out you seeing a transformation in workflows you're seeing a transformation in business process that is changing the game in terms of you know time to value cost structures and then the economics that's the promise of the cloud so again the companies that can take advantage of the times of the shifts and the inflection point because what's happening is the shift is happening and as an inflection point so yeah I think everybody talks about and it's so overused now seventy percent of the money that I t spends is on on keeping the lights on and and only thirty percent is on innovation I like to look it a little differently I like to break it down when i had my cio consultancy with floyer we used to consult and try to get the others to think about putting their portfolio into three categories their application portfolio in the project portfolio running the business growing the business in transforming the business and i think if you think about those things i think servicenow is very transformative and our helping companies run the business differently and grow the business as well so they're sort of fit into all three but they start with transformation and then change the way that people are running the business I think that's a much more effective way to look at that hole 7030 mix and I think service now is changing the way companies work what do you think about service now see earnings are we're out last week EMC report a little bit down VMware blew it away covering for emc you're seeing the big enterprise players service now take a big knife cut on Friday but that's Frank's lubin pointed out there in the long game and they have a platform play and they're throwing up a lot of cash so their cash flow is amazing Wall Street Journal has some articles about this kind of shift that we in a bubble is service now built for the long haul I want your opinion on this Frank subin weighed in on his and I think the software's phenomenal but let's talk about that yeah let's really his wall street not understanding about service so let's recap what happened on Friday service now announced earnings the stock had hit about a 12 billion dollar valuation which is you know sort of the highest valuation roughly that it had hit and people were getting used to service now continuingly continuously beating expectations well they met expectations actually beat by a little they had but they guided lower because of currency headwinds everybody's facing headwinds you saw EMC missed by about fifteen percent and it's you know this week and so all the companies and earnings releases are saying all right we're being more cautious because of currency fluctuations right the dollars getting stronger as a result you're translating international currency back into fewer dollars means less earnings so on an apples-to-apples basis servers now continued to blow it away they grew fifty percent plus but they guided lower they're a little bit more conservative so with the street did is they took about a billion dollars out of the valuation now since then it's come back a little bit it's not not come back to ten points to the loss but i see this john is a very very positive opportunity you said that you call it a buying opportunity i think it probably is you know who knows the markets choppy and maybe maybe you companies like service now that are high flyers you might see them you know up and down evan flow but here's the point and I think you've made this as well they are built for the long term and here's why they they started out in what everybody thought was a very small they've got a 40 to 50 billion dollar total available market that they're going after they're just scratching the surface right now they've got leading-edge technology they're killing the competition and they're growing into new places where typically these types of companies don't go the traditional IT service management folks where are they going they're automating service management not only with an IT but also within HR within finance within legal anything that's service oriented and their billet going after email if it's maybe it's be even bigger than a 40 or 50 billion dollar market so they got a big market they got great tech they got great management so I think there's a lot of room for this company to grow can they go to the collaboration space that's gonna be the question means all about email how much collaborative even ibn about competing with with this with companies like work they went all out HRM well well a CRM a Salesforce i think is a potential big competitor down the road i think they're on a collision course with force calm and Heroku and you know all those app development you know activities that those guys are doing but that's it's early there but I see that yeah damn your point about sales force this is why I think its dangers for sales forces why I think you know maybe we're kind of opening up the kimono here on service now because we're reading the tea leaves but what em what Amazon is done for the cloud and what we're doing with crouched at servicenow is doing for iit meaning they're building integrated technologies for a variety of different use cases that quite frankly it's it's enabling so sales forces cobbling together a bunch of stuff they got chatter I got this and when you put monolithic systems together and try to match them together into quote a you know fake stack that's really not going to work so I think the challenge for the incumbent companies like Salesforce and others is if you cobble together technologies and don't integrate them in there for this new real-time clouded native born in the cloud mentality and have the enterprise grade you will lose some territory so service now is doing both of those and they could take territory very quickly so they're humble saying no no we're not competing I know we got to go but last thing I'll say this frank says ITR our homies that's the Franks lupins you know so it talks about IT and the reason why I see that as a big advantages i T is the one part of the organization that has purview over the entire organization so a single cmdb with nit is very and whoever controls the data will be very interesting so real time having the data having the platform will give you a lot better horizontal platform I love what service now is doing again we're going to go this is our pep in by the way and this is not their messaging but we will probe all the guests Dave we're going to kick off date you this is our intro for day two wall-to-wall coverage when we hear all day here at in Las Vegas with service now nawlins 15 this is the cube I'm John for Dave vellante thanks for watching stay tuned and all day today thats is the cube we'll be right back after this short break
