on the bigger picture, salesforce will create 2 million jobs in ad $400 billion to the gdp by 2020, soally focused on creating these new jobs, getting people ready for salesforce jobs, and creating platforms for that is so important. i think apprenticeships are the key, and also automation and one-on-one. caroline: you are looking at hiring a lot, and growing. you have been an inquisitive company. does that remain? are the valuations right to remain an inquisitive company? >> last year i thought it was clear there was a window open for m&a activity, and we took advantage of the window. we bought a phenomenal company, the number one company in commerce, and we delivered commerce solutions to so many of our amazing company's around the world. adidas will do $1 billion to $2 billion in e-commerce on the salesforce platform this year, and amazing private companies as well, like quip, this carnival -- this incredible productivity tool. a lot has happened, as you know, this year, which is the markets are roaring, so the m&a windows have really narrowed, and because the m&a windows have narro

i prefer salesforce, because they had a great quarter.with the idea they'll be doing a lot more artificial intelligence, a lot more cognitive, and this certainly will help them. i liked ibm stock since, i guess, 30 points ago. mostly because martin schroeder, the excellent cfo, convinced me he made the goals. salesforce is the mover. >> the key point is they also get ibm as a customer. >> yes. >> right. >> huge customer. systems integrator for ibm. this is really big for salesforce. >> speaking of acquisitions. >> accusations? >> acquisitions. it is a small deal but one we should mention. hewlett-packard acquires nimble storage. in the flash storage arena. it is a premium. $12.50 a share. all cash. amounts to $1 billion. they also will take on $200 million worth of unvested equity awards. that's your total purchase price there that we're talking about. hp isn't doing enough. nimble, as you expect, up sharply. the shock had been trading well below. >> premium deal. where whitman needs to move because she needs better storage. i did a sum o

and oracle will have it and salesforce and workday, but there are so many companies, everybody movingthe cloud on amazon and google cloud. so, there are so many places that people are building their applications. i don't see it all converging to one central system. >> how do you deal with the sales and marketing challenge? right now, one of the big barriers to your profitability is you're having to get the word out, go out there, get a sales force, acquire customers traditionally in the enterprise business. that's one of the reasons why bigger players try to come in and acquire because they already have that as a sunk cost. how do you push through that challenge into perhaps eventual profitability? >> yeah. our biggest thing is that we are a recurring revenue model, so all of our software subscriptions are annual or few-year contracts. then we renew them with our customers and expand them dramatically over time. so it's that land-and-expand model for our business that helps us be more productive from a sales and marketing standpoint. >> all right. greg schott, ceo of mulesoft. and sto
