Salesforce Not Slacking on Margin Focus
  + stars: | 2022-09-22 | by ( Dan Gallagher | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
A message of austerity from Salesforce is welcome, though the cloud software giant picked an ironic time to share it. Salesforce got back into the business of packing visitors into its San Francisco hometown this week for its Dreamforce conference. The in-person aspect of the annual confab took a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic but was apparently missed; Salesforce says more than 40,000 attendees showed up this year.
But many tools, like Snowflake, have emerged to make Salesforce data points one of many in analytics. And Salesforce on Tuesday said it is launching a direct integration with Amazon's machine learning tool SageMaker to support custom machine learning models. At its Tableau keynote, Salesforce emphasized the company's Einstein integrations with Snowflake, with the presentation working with Snowflake data. And with these moves, Salesforce is ensuring the analysis and usage of Salesforce data and its results can remain inside Salesforce's sphere of influence. It enables organizations to connect other data lake tools and operate Salesforce data.
The company is aiming for a 25% adjusted operating margin, including future acquisitions, she said. That compares with the 20% target Salesforce announced one year ago for its 2023 fiscal year. Salesforce indicated that it intends to push adjusted sales and marketing spending as a percentage of revenue below 35% by 2026 through increasing self-serve efforts, alliances with partners, and productivity improvements for salespeople. Additionally, Salesforce is keen to manage general and administrative spending, in part by evaluating real estate assets for a hybrid workplace. The company has begun buying back its own shares as part of its first share-repurchase program, Weaver said.
Marc Benioff, founder, chairman and co-CEO of Salesforce, speaks at an Economic Club of Washington luncheon in Washington on October 18, 2019. Salesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff said the cloud software company has much more to do in the area of cybersecurity following an attack at Uber involving Salesforce's Slack chat app. "There's no finish line when it comes to security and social engineering," Benioff said during a press conference at Salesforce's Dreamforce conference in San Francisco on Tuesday. Most of the company's engineering team works on security and trust, said Bret Taylor, Salesforce's other co-CEO.

Ten months after his promotion to co-CEO of Salesforce, serving alongside famed founder Marc Benioff, Bret Taylor is gearing up to take the stage at the annual Dreamforce conference for the first time under his new title. It's called Genie, and it's designed to update Salesforce's dominant sales database software with modern technology that gives salespeople real-time information at their fingertips. Taylor and Benioff will deliver their keynote on Tuesday, starting at 10 a.m. Pacific Time in San Francisco. The 23-year-old company's original data storage software functions with a transactional database from Oracle, where Benioff spent 13 years before starting Salesforce. Taylor said that, over time, Genie will be integrated into Salesforce's other key products — its clouds for sales, service and commerce.
Morgan Stanley talks about the need to show why Club holding Salesforce (CRM) should stabilize out of Dreamforce conference. I think that's wrong: it's Club holding TJX Companies (TJX), off-price retailer behind T.J. Maxx, Marshall's and HomeGoods. Bank of America says do not sell Club holding Amazon (AMZN) on FedEx (FDX) warning. How about Club holding Disney (DIS)?
