 It's theCUBE, covering Sapphire Now 2017. Brought to you by SAP Cloud Platform and HANA Enterprise Cloud. Hey, welcome back everybody. Jeff Rick here with theCUBE, ongoing coverage of SAP Sapphire 2017 in Orlando. And we're excited to have Floyd, streaming on the phone. He is the Global Vice President SAP Cloud Platform and he is running around the Orange County Convention Center. So Floyd, how are you doing today? You're quite loud in the convention center. I can hear you perfectly. So first off, we actually were just doing a kind of a keynote analysis of HOSO today. You know, we see a lot of keynotes. We go to a ton of conferences and I thought he was just spectacular, touched on so many topics and really seems to be on his game. To attend a HOSO quiet and a keynote, you never know what's going to be on the agenda. You never know which way he's going to take it. I thought today he had all the big points. I mean, whoever thought he was in HOSO doing a lecture on GPUs and core conversions as far as what's going on in computing. Oh, absolutely. Because one of his quotes, and I was live tweeting during the keynote, was, you know, we want to get as fast to the cloud as possible. And you guys are backing that up with action with all the announcements with AWS and Google Cloud Platform. I think you have Azure underway. So you're offering your customers a bunch of public cloud choices. And then, you know, you've rebranded and now you've also got a couple flavors of the SAP cloud. So I wonder, you know, clearly you guys are all in on this cloud thing. I mean, you have such a great installed base and you're in so many mission critical applications, obviously with the ERP background. But the other thing that really struck me, Floyd, was HOSO's conversation about, you know, a new way to develop applications and, you know, no more instruction manuals and intelligent design and, you know, sharing a roadmap with our customers and having customers participate in that roadmap. I mean, that was definitely not, you know, SAP's reputation back in the day. It was, you know, the SAP way or the highway, you know, we know best. It's a big monolithic application. That has completely turned upside down. And maybe I've been paying attention as to when that started to happen. But, you know, that was a very clear message that he's changing the way that you guys build, deliver, and develop software for your customers. Yeah, the other part too, again, there were so many angles in that keynote this morning, was just the whole machine learning and artificial intelligence. Because, you know, it's one thing to talk about it kind of in the abstract, but, you know, HOSO is very clear. You know, you've had, you know, airplanes having self pilots for a long time. But more importantly, you guys have so much data in your systems that you can start to apply the machine learning and the AI and these new intelligent applications and the machine can learn by doing, you know, thousands or millions of repeated scenario processes and start to affect really what on some level might seem like mundane or simple processes like invoice matching to actually very, very powerful if you can actually match 94% of the invoices without having a human touch. You know, that's a tremendous business impact. Well, yeah. The other great analogy that he used today was, you know, kind of comparing Tesla to, I presume Mercedes, he didn't call it out by name, but, you know, that not only is it a different way to have control knobs and this and that in terms of software versus even a beautifully designed and ergonomically proper dashboard, but it's also a different buying experience and just a different experience in general and really using that as kind of a comparison for really this transformative way that things are being done now that's different from before and really it's a software enabled and software powered intelligent design, no manual way of looking at things. So again, just very impressed by the fact that, you know, he's poking fun at one of the best German brands that makes really fine products saying, yeah, that's great but, you know, software defined is a whole different way to approach the world and that's what we are, you know, going towards. Well, you saw, I mean, just as big key as all our user experience and changing that user experience. So, Floyd, I know you're kind of up against it on the time, it's busy there in Orlando, so I just wanted to get, you know, give you the final say any special surprises, funny chatter coming off the floor, what's kind of the vibe there in Orlando on the floor? All right, Floyd, well, I think that's a great summary and, you know, I think you're fortunate, you've got, you still have that founder DNA, you still got, you know, a really strong founder that obviously drives that culture and the fact that he has embraced these mega trends going forward is only good and clearly reflected in the performance of the company. So, thanks for taking a few minutes of your time and I'll let you get back to the action there on the floor in Orlando. All right, thanks a lot. That's Floyd Strimling from Orlando. He is the global VP of SAP Cloud Platform. I'm Jeff Frick, you're watching theCUBE and our ongoing coverage of SAP Sapphire 2017. Thanks for watching.
