workday推出一款大数据分析产品，可预测员工何时离职
[摘要]这项软件靠分析员工活动的趋势、最近一次升职是何时、地理因素、产业变化及其他资料来做出预测。
workday推出一款 大数据分析产品，该软件可以预测员工何时离职。
报道说，好的老板如果感觉到员工不快乐，一般会设法在为时已晚前解决问题。在硅谷的VMware公司里，他们也用到了此款大数据分析产品，他们让机器去办这件事。
据报道，VMware公司一直在测试人力资源软件公司Workday的这款新预测科技。这项系统会通知员工可能准备离职的时间，让主管可以在来不及之前出手挽回。这项软件靠分析员工活动的趋势、最近一次升职是何时、地理因素、产业变化及其他资料来做出预测。经过训练，系统会逐渐进步。
VMware全球人力资源信息系统资深主管加纳威(Amy Gannaway)于9月在Workday会议上说：“有了这些资料，如今我们已有很不错的结果。”她说，这项工具让VMware有“极高机率”正确预测哪些员工会离开公司。

云计算是未来 不过“屌丝”企业还是别玩了
来源：腾讯科技
12月1日，最新一期出版的美国著名财经杂志《巴伦周刊》撰文分析了当前云计算市场的发展趋势。文章指出，与微软等传统软件巨头相比，云计算软件产业的前期固定资产和设备投资过于庞大，导致整个产业陷入盈利困局。不过，由于市场需求旺盛以及产业的规模化发展，云计算产业的未来发展趋势仍是一片光明。
以下是文章内容全文：
上世纪九十年代末的互联网发展给人们最重要的启示之一是：所谓“无缝接入”的电子商务产业需要真金白银作为强大支撑。当前的云计算产业再次提醒人们，盈利才是产业的生存之本。
像老大哥微软一样，当前的云计算软件公司都在销售软件代码产品。然而，与微软提供CD集成版软件不同的是，这些软件公司在各自的服务器计算机上运行软件代码，而需要使用软件的企业客户则直接通过互联网来接入这些服务器就可以了。
自由现金流收益率偏低
这些新兴的软件开发商其实更类似于电信运营商，因为它们需要自己建设和维护大量的服务器才能保障自身软件的良好存储和运行。我们最好把这些软件开发商称为软件“运营商”。由于前期网络和服务器建设需要投入大量的资金，因此大多数云计算软件开发商当前的盈利能力普遍偏弱。
两年前成功上市的Workday正在成为一家颇具实力的云计算软件开发商。在截至明年1月底的2014财年，Workday的财年营收预计将同比大幅增长67%至7.85亿美元。然而在购买房产、办公地和设备方面支出了1.01亿美元后，Workday从云计算软件业务获得的现金净利润却仅为可怜的760万美元。也就是说，其自由现金流收益率（Free Cash Flow Yield, 以下简称FCFY）仅为1%。
而软件巨头微软今年的年营收将达到980亿美元，其FCFY有望达到26%。也就是说，微软今年将有250亿美元现金用于支付股息和回购股票，或者干脆把这笔钱存到银行里。
当然，微软已经拥有近40年的发展历史，与之进行对比似乎并不公平。但纵观整个云计算软件产业，其FCFY和资本集中水平却根本与微软建立起来的高收益业务没有可比性。
在对22家云计算软件公司进行调查后发现，其FCFY的平均值仅为4.5%，并不比互联网零售巨头亚马逊的2%高多少。而亚马逊则是业内利润率最低、资本最为集中的科技巨头。这22家公司包括Workday、在线旅行订票系统Sabre、IT商业软件公司ServiceNow以及营销软件公司Marketo。
股票期权支出大
业内投资者往往都十分关注这些云计算软件公司在股票期权方面的支出表现。今年前9个月，Workday的股票期权支出高达1.17亿美元，占其营收的比例为21%。作为全球最大的云计算软件开发商，Salesforce.com今年前9个月的股票期权营收比虽然仅相当于Workday的一半，但实际支出则高达4.13亿美元。
然而股票期权固定支出却模糊了固定资产支出在营收中的占比。毕竟，后者才是软件公司运行服务器最重要的基础。对于上述22家公司来说，其固定资产支出的营收占比要远远高于微软这样的业内老牌软件公司。
根据市场研究机构FactSet的统计显示，微软在2014财年的固定资产和设备支出在营收的占比可能为6%，占其运营现金流的19%。与之形成鲜明对比的是，上述22家软件公司当前财年的平均固定资产支出营收占比可能会达到8.6%，占其营收现金流的比例则可能高达207%。也就是说，这些公司每获得1美元的现金净利润，就需要支出2美元用于固定资产和设备投资。
这些数字还因各个公司的具体情况而有所不同。云端客户服务处理应用Zendesk在今年前9个月支出了1900万美元用于租赁办公地以及购买服务器和与云服务有关的必要设备，这直接导致该公司的现金流达到负1900万美元。华尔街分析师预计，该公司本财年的资本支出占营收的比例将达到令人难以置信的34倍。
今年，投资者总体上也在一直抛售云计算软件股票。Saleforce的年内股价增幅为8.5%，成为云计算股表现最好的个股之一。而Workday的年内股价增幅则仅为4.7%。
ServiceNow的年内股价涨幅高达14%，这可要得益于该公司已经成为IBM或另一家大型科技公司潜在收购目标的缘故。
市场需求旺盛
那么问题就来了，如果一家公司需要支出2美元才能赚到1美元净利润的话，整个产业为何还会呈现出当前的勃勃生机呢？
简单来说，就是市场需求旺盛。越来越多的企业用户都想通过购买云计算服务而省去软件的运行费用，从而彻底砍掉安装新应用的成本开支。因此，很多年轻的创业公司都采取这种方法与微软、甲骨文和SAP等老牌软件巨头展开业务竞争。
云计算产业的未来曙光在于，随着时间的推移，软件开发商的软件运行成本会变得越来越低。随着云计算软件开发商规模化发展的进一步加深，其新增用户的增量成本将会下降。这就意味着，每个服务器可以为越来越多的客户运行软件，每个服务器所产生的净利润也就越来越高。
与业内的小型竞争对手相比，Workday和Salesforce等大型云计算软件开发商的资本支出营收比或者资本支出与自由现金流之比相对较高。然而，整个云计算产业似乎并没有出现降低固定资产支出的任何迹象，因此要想达到整体营收超过成本支出的拐点也尚需时日。此后，才能出现净利润的井喷式增长。
然而，投资者今年并没有对云计算产业的巨额资本支出给予多大的耐心。（景隼）

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors and others with additional information regarding Workday's results, we have disclosed the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss per share and free cash flows. Workday has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The non-GAAP financial measures non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss per share differ from GAAP in that they exclude share-based compensation, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and non-cash interest expense related to our convertible senior notes, as applicable. Free cash flows differ from GAAP cash flows from operating activities in that it treats capital expenditures, assets acquired under a capital lease and purchased other (non-acquisition related) intangible assets as a reduction to cash flows.
Workday's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, and for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, for short- and long-term operating plans, and to evaluate Workday's financial performance and the ability of operations to generate cash. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Workday's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in Workday's business, as they exclude expenses that are not reflective of ongoing operating results. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Workday's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. Additionally, management believes information regarding free cash flows provides investors and others with an important perspective on the cash available to make strategic acquisitions and investments, to fund ongoing operations and to fund other capital expenditures.
Management believes excluding the following items from the most directly comparable GAAP measures is useful to investors and others in assessing Workday's operating performance due to the following factors:
Share-based compensation. Although share-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of our employees and executives, management believes it is useful to exclude share-based compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies. For restricted share awards, the amount of share-based compensation expenses is not reflective of the value ultimately received by the grant recipients. Moreover, determining the fair value of certain of the share-based instruments we utilize involves a high degree of judgment and estimation and the expense recorded may bear little resemblance to the actual value realized upon the vesting or future exercise of the related share-based awards. Unlike cash compensation, the value of stock options and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which is an element of our ongoing share-based compensation expenses, is determined using a complex formula that incorporates factors, such as market volatility and forfeiture rates, that are beyond our control.
Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses included employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013 and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014. The amount of employer payroll taxes on share-based compensation is dependent on our stock price and other factors that are beyond our control and do not correlate to the operation of the business. For business combinations, we generally allocate a portion of the purchase price to intangible assets. The amount of the allocation is based on estimates and assumptions made by management and is subject to amortization. The amount of purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the term of its related amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition and thus we do not believe it is reflective of the ongoing operations.
Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs. Under GAAP, we are required to separately account for liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the convertible senior notes that were issued in private placements in June 2013. Accordingly, for GAAP purposes we are required to recognize the effective interest expense on our convertible senior notes and amortize the issuance costs over the term of the notes. The difference between the effective interest expense and the contractual interest expense and the amortization expense of issuance costs are excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance because management believes that these non-cash expenses are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Management believes that the exclusion of the non-cash interest expense provides investors an enhanced view of the company's operational performance.
Additionally, we believe that the non-GAAP financial measure, free cash flows, is meaningful to investors because we review cash flows generated from or used in operations after deducting capital expenditures, whether purchased or leased, and purchased other intangible assets, due to the fact that these expenditures are considered to be an ongoing operational component of our business. This provides an enhanced view of cash available to make strategic acquisitions and investments, to fund ongoing operations and to fund other capital expenditures.
The use of non-GAAP operating loss and net loss per share has certain limitations as they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect Workday's operations. Workday compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. Management encourages investors and others to review Workday's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
