世界500強(qiáng)CEO訪談 第49期:微軟集團(tuán)史蒂夫鮑爾 為我們的成就驕傲(3)

Ballmer: MVPs have a tremendous impact on Microsoft customers and technical communities worldwide, and their passion for technology is inspiring. Their commitment to helping customers optimize their use of Microsoft technologies is key, as is the feedback they provide, which is vital to product development and R and D. When I spoke at this year’s MVP summit, it was the largest ever，with MVPs representing 63 countries. We can’t thank the MVPs enough for their contributions.

鮑爾默：微軟最有價(jià)值專家項(xiàng)目給微軟的顧客以及全世界的技術(shù)領(lǐng)域帶來了很大的影響，大家對(duì)于這個(gè)項(xiàng)目很有熱情，很鼓舞人。他們致力于幫助顧客優(yōu)化微軟技術(shù)，這是關(guān)鍵，也是大家反饋的信息，這對(duì)產(chǎn)品的研發(fā)是至關(guān)重要的。在今年的最有纖專家項(xiàng)目峰會(huì)上，我說過現(xiàn)在的這個(gè)項(xiàng)目是史上規(guī)模最大的，擁有代表63個(gè)國家的代表，我們非常感謝這些專家們所作的貢獻(xiàn)。

Ballmer: When I'm in the office, I spend a lot of time with each of our seven business groups discussing their business and product strategies—where we，re doing well, where we have opportunities to do better. I also meet with employee groups to hear where folks are at and to share my vision for the company’s future. Here in Redmond and when I travel—which is fairly often—I spend a lot of time meeting with customers and partners. It’s really important to me to hear directly about what they like about our products, what’s working for them, and how we can improve. I know it sounds corny, but it’s really true that after 24 years with this company, I still come to work inspired by the possibilities every day. I feel incredibly lucky to work for a company that plays such an important role in helping people and businesses around the world to realize their potential.

鮑爾默：我在辦公室的大部分時(shí)間都用在 與我們的七個(gè)事業(yè)小組談?wù)撍麄兊漠a(chǎn)業(yè)，以及產(chǎn)品的策略等上面了，討論我們哪些 方面已經(jīng)做得很好了，哪些方面還有待提局。我也與員工小組會(huì)面，看看大家現(xiàn)在的工作進(jìn)程是怎樣的，并且與大家一同分享我對(duì)公司未來的展望。我還經(jīng)常到雷德 蒙德和其他地方出差，在那時(shí)候我的時(shí)間主要是用在與顧客和合作伙伴的見面上。對(duì)我來說，能夠直接聽到他們對(duì)我們產(chǎn)品的看法以及我們需要改進(jìn)提高的地方，是很重要的。我知道這聽起來很過時(shí)，但是在微軟工作了24年之后，我仍然會(huì)因?yàn)槊刻斓目赡苄远艿焦奈?。我覺得自己非常幸運(yùn)，能夠在這樣一個(gè)幫助人們和世界商業(yè)領(lǐng)域發(fā)揮最大潛能的公司工作。

Reporter: What aspect do you think is most important for Microsoft’s future development?

記者：您認(rèn)為哪些方面對(duì)于微軟未來的發(fā)展是最重要的?

Ballmer: No question, it's the importance to customers of an integrated software platform. Given the increasing complexity of IT the pressure to do more with less financial resources, and the value and richness of integrated products and services, this is fundamental.

鮑爾默：毫無疑問，那就是集成軟件平臺(tái)對(duì)于顧客的重要性?？紤]到IT行業(yè)漸增的復(fù)雜性和要用更少的資金來做更多事情的壓力，綜合產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)的價(jià)值和實(shí)用性，都是很重要的。

Reporter: How do you feel the outsourcing of technology jobs to countries such as India or China has affected Microsoft?

記者：您認(rèn)為，在印度或者中國這樣的國家，進(jìn)行技術(shù)工作的外包，這給微軟公司帶來了怎樣的影響呢?

Ballmer: As a global company, our future growth and success requires that we constantly look at ways to improve our ability to serve customers worldwide. This involves growing our presence in key regions and tapping into the growing technical talent pool outside the US. India is emerging as a world-class IT leader, and as China’s economy grows, addressing the needs of its broadening customer base is not only important, but a great opportunity. The majority of our core development work will remain in Redmond. But by developing local programs, expertise and presence around Microsoft technology, our customers can benefit from the technical expertise and skill found in those regions, and from the innovations and value that will come from these emerging markets tomorrow.

鮑爾默：作為一個(gè)全球性企業(yè)，我們未來的成長和成功要求我們不斷尋找能夠提高我們?yōu)槿澜珙櫩吞峁┓?wù)的能力的方式。這就要求我們覆蓋到一些主要地區(qū)，并且在美國以外開發(fā)利用不斷成長的技術(shù)人才。印度開始成為世界級(jí)的IT行業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，隨著中國經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展，滿足廣大客戶的需要已經(jīng)不僅僅是重要的，也給我們帶來了一個(gè)很好的機(jī)會(huì)。我們核心發(fā)展工作主要還是會(huì)放在雷德蒙德，但是通過開發(fā)當(dāng)?shù)氐某绦颉I(yè)技能和微軟技術(shù)的普及，我們的顧客們能夠從這些地區(qū)的技術(shù)、技能中受益，能夠從創(chuàng)新和即將在這些發(fā)展中的市場(chǎng)中獲得的價(jià)值中受益。
