With that, let me hand the call to Mark.
All right. Well, thank you very much, Evan, and thank you everybody for being on the call today. It's great To be here, and I hope everyone's families are safe and healthy. Through the magic of PCR Testing made possible by Visby Medical here in the Bay Area, through masks, safe distancing and being And some gorgeous San Francisco day. I am here together sitting at the table with Amy Weaver, Our Chief Financial Officer and Brett Taylor, our Chief Operating Officer Gavin Patterson, our Chief Revenue Officer Evan And Mark Hawkins, our CFO of Meritas.
So it's great to be here with everybody. And we haven't really done an outside conference call before, but welcome to The new pandemic world that we are in and we're going to make this work. So this is a reminder, we are definitely in a new place And we can see the beginning of a return to our offices. In fact, I was in Salesforce Tower yesterday and held our Global all hands call, we can see a return to restaurants, maybe even to sports arenas and to concerts one day, who knows. We're getting closer with All of the advancements in technology.
But the reality is that even with the vaccines, we're not really back to the way it was and I was the only one In the Ohana floor at Salesforce Tower. And we can all, I think, agree that this pandemic has forever changed our world And how we are working and living and educating ourselves from anywhere. Our Salesforce Futures, Peter Schwartz, who many of you know, probably said it recently to me best when he said, We're just in a new pandemic world. And as this is going to evolve and shift, we don't know exactly, but we're going to kind of make it work and that's the idea of being outside here doing our earnings call. It's an all digital, it's work from anywhere world where every company and every earnings call.
We have be able to work, sell, service, market, collaborate and analyze our data from anywhere. And Salesforce was somehow already built for this world before it existed. And that's why over the last year, Salesforce has become, I think, Significantly more strategic and more relevant to our customers than probably any time before. And today, 22 years after founding the Salesforce, We can see it right here that more and more companies around the globe are turning to Salesforce to deliver success from anywhere. And that's why even in the midst of the global pandemic, we had such an incredible year and incredible quarter and you can see it in these incredible numbers.
And that by delivering success from anywhere, our revenue rose to more than $5,800,000,000 up 20% year over year, Truly amazing for a company of our size. And for the full fiscal year 2021, revenue was 21 $250,000,000 which was up 24% year over year. Based on this strong fiscal year 'twenty one results, We're raising our fiscal year 'twenty two guidance to $25,000,000,000 which is now at the high end of our range, Representing 21% projected growth year over year. There's never been a software company over $20,000,000,000 in revenue that is growing as fast as we are. And as we shared at our Investor Day last year, our long term revenue target for the fiscal year $26,000,000,000 is now $50,000,000,000 Basically, we're going to double the company from where we are right now.
That is doubling revenue in 5 years and will reset milestone faster Than any other enterprise software company, that would make Salesforce the 2nd largest independent software company in the world. Amazing. This is all really a testament to our employees and our customers and the technology and really this amazing ecosystem Of all of this together and the millions of trailblazers who are working from anywhere and pioneering success from anywhere, I'm often asked how is it that we're able to succeed in such a difficult time? And I'll tell you, sales force is accelerating at such a rapid Speed because we are already in this work from anywhere world. We're achieving success from anywhere.
For us, success starts with Our core values and for those of you who followed our company for a long time, when these things happen, when the world changes, we always pivot hard back to our core values. And trust is our number one value. There's never been a more important time when trust in government and other institutions, well, we can see it's been eroding and Customers are seeking direct customer digital relationships. And I think that as the world has evolved, especially in the last year, The acceleration of these direct B2B and B2C digital relationships for our customers, it's more important than ever Because we're in a world of all of this mistrust. So that is why this Customer 360 Navigate the pandemic and achieve success from anywhere.
You can see that, I'm going to talk to you in a second about some tremendous innovations with our vaccine cloud and our contact tracing Capability and innovation, well, you can see it. We're innovating well, faster than ever before, developing these amazing new products And all these incredible new technologies and Equality, while we're helping and executing philanthropy and working together Our values have guided us as we've pivoted to this new pandemic world. And like every year, we came into it with a business plan. But early on, about a year ago, in fact, we knew that business plan was not going to hold together. We devised a whole new business operating model for how we run Salesforce and how we would succeed from anywhere.
We called that our pandemic operating model. We sharpened our relevance, increased our levels of participation, enabled our employees, Created new types of sales plays and I shared our model with many CEOs that I've talked to over the last several months and now they're applying it to their own organizations and getting Incredible new levels of performance out of it as well. As we dialed into the model, we immediately saw our team's level of relevance, participation Enable skyrocket. For example, from Q2 to Q4, our own enterprise sales teams, even though they were at home, Used our sales cloud to engage in more than 6,000,000 conversations with customers, asking how we can be the most relevant and useful in the time of crisis. I don't think we would have survived as a business without our Sales Cloud.
It was critical to build those business to business relationships that are the essence of Salesforce, Look, we had to do digitally and Sales Cloud enabled us to sell from anywhere and throughout the year we helped other great companies that you've heard about like AT and T Or Insperity or Align or 3 ms or so many others to do the same. And we all of course, we all love getting on the airplanes and Flying somewhere and being in person with the customer, but it just hasn't been possible. Now if you look at the magic of our Marketing Cloud, well, we are able to create new digital experiences like Dreamforce, and I hope all of you have the opportunity to experience Dreamforce. But we have the ability to use our marketing cloud to have those direct digital relationships at scale. And instead of having 170,000 people take over San Francisco, we had more than 140,000,000 views of just Dreamforce.
That's amazing. We also created hundreds of other leadership events throughout the year for customers, employees, partners, communities, And that generated another 300,000,000 350,000,000 views. In the year, customers like Zoom, like Carefor, Humana and so many others also chose the Marketing Cloud to fuel their digital business growth as well. And with Service Cloud, well, we managed our own caseload as our business continued to accelerate through the year As we moved our call centers and contact centers into our employees' homes with 4,800,000,000 interactions using our service cloud in the last quarter, Customers in the year like Gap and Sonos and even Uber Eats who use Service Cloud to power success from their customers from anywhere. Now as a customer of Slack, I can tell you we're using Service Cloud with Slack to improve performance.
We've seen a 26% improvement in case times And close rates and 19% improvement in same day resolution, that's an example where our acquisition of Slack has made so much sense. We've seen the combination The products like Service Cloud and Slack together just make it so much better for us as a company or for our customers, and we're looking forward to doing so much more of that. Slack can be the central nervous system for any company, connecting its people and data across systems, apps and devices from anywhere. It's really an enabler A success from anywhere. And once our merger is approved, we're going to build Slack into more of these products that we We have used today and conceptualize and make our customers even more productive.
We're going to create the most open and interoperable ecosystem of By achieving success from anywhere at Salesforce, we're delivering success from anywhere to our customers. In many ways, we're becoming the success from anywhere company. Whether it's B2B or B2C, our customers need to accelerate their efforts With the flexibility, scale and time to value of Customer 360, our customers are able to quickly adapt to this new world. And on any given day, our customers are generating 3000000 Commerce Cloud transactions. Well, that's up 100% from a year ago.
That's not a surprise to anybody. We all know we're shopping from anywhere and creating 4,000,000 sales opportunities working from anywhere, their home, a coffee shop, the mountain top Or delivering an average of 2,900,000,000 marketing messages from anywhere across any digital channel, logging nearly 5,000,000,000 Case interaction servicing from anywhere. Now Salesforce Einstein, which is our core artificial intelligence capability really built in the heart of Customer 360. Well, that's now delivering more than 93,000,000,000 AI powered predictions every Single day, dollars 93,000,000,000 AI powered predictions every single day across our entire Customer 360, amazing. Customer 360 makes all of our customer interactions smarter than ever before and today's day life Salesforce has been ranked by IDC as the number one CRM for the 7th year in a row.
It's just the 4th quarter, so companies are turning to Salesforce to build trusted relationships with their customers and deliver success from Anywhere. Companies like I mentioned, like Now delivering success from anywhere also means managing the salesforce.com is at the forefront of helping organizations and governments Feedback of the pandemic were in the case of the state of Victoria and Australia, And I have to tell you, I've just never seen Logistics and information technology challenged like this before and Some other implementations of technology in this area well did not work well for these vaccines. So now we can see that more than New York City, California, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, I mean it really goes on and on. More than 245,000,000 people in fact Have used COVID-nineteen data through our Tableau dashboards and thousands of organizations are relying on Tableau's Just go to tableau.com and you'll see a whole tab just on their response to COVID-nineteen. It's been incredible what that what our team at Tableau has done.
The pandemic has shifted us all into this work from anywhere world, but it's just the beginning of a whole new era. And that's why we're so excited about what we have done and how we have transformed our own organization and our technology with Hyperforce. Look, we've built an incredible new platform. You heard about it at Dreamforce for the first time. This Hyperforce platform, well, this is a fundamental new architecture for It lets us run on any hyperscaler.
Hyperforce allows us to run anywhere and that allows our customers Choose where they want to manage their data. That's allowed us to open incredible new data centers in India and Germany, and we're planning to support another 10 new additional Countries this year and all built on this incredible new architecture, and it's 100% compatible With all our previous implementations, it's another example of how well we're going to be able to help our customers achieve success from anywhere. Now finally, when we are successful, we have a responsibility to others. It means we can be living examples of stakeholder capitalism in action. And it's why during the pandemic, we've accelerated our efforts to serve all stakeholders, including our communities and the planet.
We supported frontline workers and 300 hospitals around the world by delivering over 50,000,000 pieces of PPE. We've provided 1,000,000 of dollars in grants to schools to help with remote learning, The local small businesses to stay afloat and the organizations focused on racial justice as that turned into a crisis here in our United States. And we've partnered with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, on equitable distribution of vaccines across 190 countries. I'm incredibly proud of our efforts to fight climate change and protect our planet. In fact, we are a net zero operations company today, and we've also reduced our carbon emissions by With our Sustainability Cloud, companies across the globe are tracking and reducing They are carbon emissions and keeping track of their critical ESGs.
We're supporting the global movement to conserve, to restore and grow 1 trillion trees As the founders of the World Economic Forum, 1t.org initiative, and I'm very grateful for everyone who has done so much to help this critical Part of climate change was sequestration, all of which shows why when we truly serve all stakeholders, business is the greatest platform for change. Well, That's where Salesforce is today and where we're going. It's a new business operating model, work from anywhere, direct trusted customer relationships. You can see this incredible product line all built on this Hyperforce architecture serving all stakeholders. It's how Salesforce is achieving success from anywhere and it's how we're enabling our customers to achieve success from anywhere.
I'm incredibly proud and grateful for what we've been able to accomplish in fiscal year 'twenty one, and I'm very proud of us, even though we're freezing out here in San Francisco. But we're outside and doing it safely. We've all been PCR tested. It's all totally fine. And now I'm turning it over to our new Chief Financial Officer, Amy Weaver.
Amy?
So thanks, Mark. And I agree, it's a little surprising to be doing my first call outdoors, but at least it's brisk. This is great. So I'm thrilled be here today in this new role, I've really enjoyed the opportunity to meet with and learn from many of our shareholders during the transition period. And I'm looking forward to getting to know more of the investment community during fiscal 2022.
So as Mark described, we closed out our So 2021 with another quarter of outstanding growth at scale and solid bottom line execution. So let me take you through some of the results For Q4 fiscal 2021, I'll begin with top line commentary. Total revenue for the Q4 was $5,820,000,000 up 20% year over year or 19% in constant currency. For the full fiscal 2021, revenue was $21,250,000,000 up 24% year over year in both dollars and constant currency. This was a well rounded performance across and service product offerings.
Revenue attrition in Q4 was between 9% and 9.5%, which was slightly favorable versus our Q3 guidance assumptions. Our continued focus on customer success has resulted in is still higher than where we finished a year ago. Our remaining performance obligation representing all future revenue under contract ended Q4 $36,100,000,000 up 17% year over year. Current remaining performance obligation or CRPO, which represents all future revenue under contract that is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, was approximately $18,000,000,000 up 20% or 18% in constant currency. Turning to operating margin.
Q4 non GAAP operating margin was 17.5%. This includes $184,000,000 real estate impairment charge. As a reminder, our guidance for Q4 had assumed $80,000,000 to $100,000,000 in real estate charges. During the quarter, we identified further opportunities to consolidate and sublease across our global portfolio, including in some of our For the full year, we delivered non GAAP operating margin of 17.7%, up 90 basis points year over year. The upside from our guidance was largely driven by revenue outperformance and partially offset by the incremental real estate charges that I just referenced.
Q4 GAAP EPS was $0.28 and non GAAP EPS was $1.04 The outperformance in the quarter was primarily due to higher revenue as well as realized and unrealized gains on our strategic investments portfolio. These mark to market Turning to cash flow. Operating cash flow in the 4th quarter was $2,200,000,000 up 33% year over year. For the full year, we delivered $4,800,000,000 of operating cash flow, up 11% over last year. This number was slightly lower than our guidance for the year, which was driven by the growth investments discussed on previous calls as well as by timing of collections at the end of Quarter.
CapEx for the quarter was $149,000,000 leading to free cash flow of $2,000,000,000 35% year over year. Now turning to guidance for Q1 fiscal 2022. As a result of our Q4 performance, we are raising our Q1 revenue guidance by $170,000,000 to $5,875,000,000 to $5,885,000,000 or approximately 21% growth year over year. This includes a $40,000,000 contribution from Acumen Solutions due to an earlier acquisition closing date of February 1. Additionally, please note that mule sauce will contribute to higher sequential revenue than historical norms in Q1 Due to certain contracts that closed in Q4, but have start dates beginning in Q1, we are also raising our fiscal by $200,000,000 to $25,650,000,000 to $25,750,000,000 or approximately 21% Growth year over year.
This includes $190,000,000 from Acumen and subject to closing $600,000,000 from Slack. For Q1, we expect to deliver CRPL growth of approximately 19%. We expect non GAAP operating margin for fiscal 'twenty from Slack and Acumen, continued investments in our core business and the anticipated gradual increase of travel in the second half of fiscal 'twenty two. I do want to call out that the real estate consolidation mentioned earlier will have a positive impact on the longer term P and L, But at this point, we do not see a material benefit in fiscal 2022. We expect GAAP diluted EPS for fiscal 2022 of negative $0.44 to negative $0.42 and non GAAP diluted EPS of $3.39 to $3.41 We expect recent M and A will be a $0.53 headwind to non GAAP diluted EPS.
Please recall that our OIE and EPS guidance assume no contribution from mark to market accounting as required by ASC 20 sixteen-twenty We expect fiscal 2022 operating cash flow growth of 10% to 11% year over year. Note that this includes the expected dilutive cash flow impact of SLAC and Acumen, which we expect to represent a headwind to a year over year growth of approximately 9 points. We continue to expect CapEx to be approximately 3% of revenue in fiscal 22, resulting in a free cash flow growth rate of approximately 10% to 11% for the fiscal year. Excluding the anticipated impact of M and A noted above, this rate would be 21% to 22%. To close, in a year far different from what we ever could have expected, Salesforce delivered durable top line growth, Non GAAP operating margin expansion and took important steps on our path to $50,000,000,000 by reimagining our business and setting ourselves up for success from anywhere.
I'm extremely proud of the way that our employees navigated the challenges of fiscal 2021 with grace, resilience and with an unwavering commitment to our values and to our customers. Finally, I'd like to thank our employees, our customers, our partners, our community and especially our shareholders for their continued support. And with that, Michelle, let's open up the call for questions.
Your first question comes from Mark Murphy from JPMorgan. Your line is open.
Thank you. I have to say I love the outdoor conference call. I swear I heard a seagull or a crow in the background there In Salesforce Park at some point, so love that innovation. My question is, where are you in the demand Cycle for Einstein and the AI Technologies, you've had such a long head start there with that vision and you've been embedding it into your But it seems like right now is the moment that most companies are finally really prioritizing AI as the top initiative. It's really this year.
And so I'm wondering if you're sensing any kind of inflection there with companies being recharged and more ambitious Global for Einstein and the data layer.
Well, I'm going to let Brett Faylor take this over. But Before he does, I just want to say that I'm so excited with how Einstein has been received by our Customers and also how we have deeply integrated it into all of our clouds. It's definitely a critical enabling Technology that has made everybody just a lot more productive. And I've been surprised while other companies have divested some aspects Of artificial intelligence, we continue to see Einstein become the critical enabling capability and differentiation that we can offer key clouds, especially what we've seen with Commerce. So I hope that Brett can further illuminate that.
Yes, it's a great question. And I definitely view this year and this new pandemic world as an inflection point for the adoption of Einstein. Broadly, I think we're seeing just incredible secular trends towards digital. I've heard a lot of CEOs just talk about essentially We did in a year what might have taken a decade before in terms of adoption of digital technology. And when all of your customer and your Partner and your employee interactions are digital.
Artificial intelligence and Einstein can make every single one of those engagements more personal. To put some numbers on it, I'll just take Service Cloud as an example. Our digital service capability has grown at just unprecedented rates this year. And with the adoption of things like chatbots and powered by Einstein, we saw 91% quarter over quarter growth in chatbots alone. Our marketing cloud, which is just every single one of those interactions is personalized.
If you looked at Cyber Week this past quarter, Mobile push notifications were up 131 percent year over year. SMS was up The thing Mark covered in his opening remarks, I think is really important and a big part of our thesis as a company is we're not going back. The people who have experienced all these digital trends, whether it's buy online curbside pickup, that direct to consumer Trend in the consumer packaged goods industry, the move to telemedicine, one of the customers Mark mentioned, Humana. One of the things they're doing with our platform is HumanaCare Support, which is this digital interaction between its members, its care teams, its provider communities, All of these trends are here to stay. And when we think about Einstein, we think about our platform broadly.
We really think that we're looking over the next 5 years, How can we help every single one of our customers across all these industries gain success from anywhere and Einstein is a huge part of that
And your next question will come from Brad Zelnick from Credit Suisse. Your line is open.
Excellent. Thanks so much and congrats on all the success. My question is for Mark and or Gavin. How do you think about the potential for acceleration coming out of a recession? Does your current pipeline look like it can support it?
And are you properly staffed up to captured the opportunity
ahead. Sure. Thanks for the question. The pipeline is very strong, and we saw that through build throughout the year and coming into Q4. We continue to see it build, That's in spite of having no face to face events during the year.
It's all been done digitally. And as Mark said in his opening remarks, Dreamforce to you where we delivered the whole thing digitally. It was a huge success by giving us access to decision makers and allowing us To strengthen that pipeline. And let me reassure you, we are building the capability in terms of the sales force. We'd be delighted to hear that we are investing significantly in terms of our direct sales force To take advantage of that demand, and I'm very confident we'll be able to meet it.
So I think you're hearing today A message from us all that the business is strong, the pipeline is strong, and we've got confidence going into the year.
And your next question will come from Arjun Bhatia from William Blair. Your line is open.
Hi, thank you. Mark, this one might be for you or maybe Gavin, but we've touched on how much the world has changed over the past year with the pandemic. I would love to hear how the complexity of your deals with your customers have changed over the past year, particularly as it relates to things like Deal cycles, deal size, multi product adoption and perhaps customer focus on time to value and how are you adjusting to address Those changes?
Well, I'm going to let Gavin take this, but I'm going to take it at the high order bid on I've been surprised how many sales calls we've been able to make this year. And if I could rewind history over the last 22 years, I would have enforced a much more significant digital discipline I think that when we look back at all of the time and energy we spent physically Getting on airplanes, going getting in cars, going to people's offices, having a breakfast or a lunch or a dinner, Waiting to try to get up and make a C level sales call, when you look today at the level of access that you have in organizations to conduct B2B sales, I mean, it's all the capability when you're digitally enabled. You can go anywhere just much, much faster. And that's a key reason why with Dreamforce, not only did we have a very successful Dreamforce From our park, you probably saw the video of Brad and I. But also, we then told each of our Sales executives all over the world, if they were going to have to do that, same presentation, but highly customized With highly customized demonstrations for each and every one of our customers, which we then did.
And Customers warmly receive that with large groups of their employees. So, it's really an example of You can do a lot more to build pipeline, have direct access and deliver highly customized Selling at a level of velocity that I don't think previously was possible. Gavin, do you want to come in on that as well?
Well, What I would
say is the digital imperative is now a CEO priority. That's the overriding Theme that we've seen over the last 9 months. Previously, it might have been delegated down into the business, but it has become so important And so urgent that the CEO wants to take direct control over it. And that has been something we've been able to take advantage of. And coupled with the fact that video allows us to get to decision makers faster and more frequently, It means that the pipeline has been very strong.
So you had a question about the deal complexity and That's changing. It's been strong across the board. So we've done big deals, but the run rate The volume side of the business continues to be strong as well, and it's important that both these muscles continue to operate within our business model. So it's a very well Performance in that respect. And you've rightly identified time to value is, I think, Probably even more important now for decision makers.
And this is a theme that Certainly, Brett and I have been on calls and he's right at the forefront of the CEO and the CEO's decision making. So the more we can ensure that standard sales force solutions are deployed and they're configured In a standard way to ensure that we can get fast deployment, I think, is really, really important. We're agile. We're getting the right sort of conversations, and the pipeline is strong across the board.
Your next question will come from Curt Chaterne from Evercore. Your line is open.
Yes, thanks very much. Maybe this one's for Brett. Brett, you all named David Schmoyer, Chief Product Officer and President this quarter. I was just wondering if you could talk a little bit about sort of what you're thinking in terms of going more vertical from a product sort of development perspective and in terms of his appointment? And maybe, Gavin, how does that match up with how you're thinking about trying to maybe double down on certain verticals where you can go deeper with customers And so from an industry perspective, because that seems to be one of your strengths is being able to sort of go deep in certain industries.
So if you could just talk about that a little bit?
Yes, it's a great question. I'm so grateful to have David at this company. I was joking with Mark the other day that David Schmoyer has forgotten more about CRM than most people know. He's been in this industry for decades and is truly an expert. And our strength as a company is that we are experts in our We want to help people sell from anywhere, service from anywhere, market from anywhere, do digital marketing from anywhere.
But we are Increasingly experts in industries and now thanks to both our organic strategy and our acquisition of Velocity, we're at 12 industries that we serve across so many strategic verticals for our customers. And you heard our focus, which is really helping Our customers in this all digital work anywhere world find success from anywhere. And so much of that is really industry specific. Every industry is going through A very accelerated digital transformation. In consumer goods, as Mark said, it's about creating direct Trusted customer relationships, which is a completely new digital world of motion that requires new expertise, new software, new And Kaleed, just a new business model.
In areas like healthcare, you've seen the impact this year. Retail, obviously, Cyber Week has accelerated again by almost a decade's worth of acceleration this year. And when I think about our ability to really provide success from anywhere, it's really building in those industry specific processes, so they work out of the box. As Gavin and I mentioned, we do a lot of calls together and that time to value discussion is the first thing that comes up and our vertical solutions are a big Part of it, because it means we essentially are starting all of our customers on 3rd base with the industry specific processes that are important to So really grateful for David's leadership and really grateful for the alignment between our product strategy and our distribution and sales strategy that this verticals
And your next question will come from Tom Roderick from Stifel. Your line is open.
Wonderful. Mark, I guess I'll direct this to you, but probably a good opportunity for Gavin to chime in as well from the field. Seems like every year you get to the Q4 and the big deals, the ELAs, the big digital transformation, A lot of those do show up in the Q4. I would imagine over the last several years, the nature of those transformations have changed. Given this has been such a wild and unusual year, would love to hear what you're hearing from the field, what customers are talking about that's different In the way that they're going about their digital transformations, perhaps it's more MuleSoft, more Tableau or maybe even talking about messaging and engagement.
I know it's an open ended question, but Some more anecdotal evidence from the field on big deals would be great. Thank you.
Well, I'm going to have I'm going to have Brett and also Gavin come in here and talk about this because they've really had the opportunity to work on so many transactions together. I think one of the major transformations that's happened this year, and I think you can really see it in the peer end of the numbers is, when we Actually sell to our customers. We're selling our Customer 360 platform. And we have Sales Cloud, You're right. We have Service Cloud.
We have Marketing Cloud. We have Commerce Cloud. We have this amazing Tableau, it's credible, Multi $1,000,000,000 analytics cloud and we have this amazing MuleSoft integration cloud, dollars 1,000,000,000 integration cloud and our rescaling platform and our services business and our partnerships and the Full ecosystem of solutions, but when customers are coming and working with us and if I'm working with a CEO of fellow CEO, maybe one of these very large They're not as interested in some discrete cloud. I'm sure you could probably appreciate that they are really interested in deploying our platform. And we have a lot of different words to describe these different parts of our code, but the reality is that they really just want us to make them Successful.
And when we look at some of the very large implementations that we've done this year, we're Quick to say, well, we're we fully implemented all of these AT and T retail stores with our sales cloud. But the reality is that when you talk to Jeff Fresh, who we featured at Dreamforce, who is the CEO of AT and T Wireless. Mostly, he just wants to know That he's more productive, more competitive, more innovative and that He is able to have better customer relationships and that all of his employees are aligned, and that's what we're really starting to sell. And I think that that's a powerful Transformation of our company, and I think it really started when we had the successful really acquisition of Tableau. It started to get customers to be able to look at us just much more strategically.
It wasn't that we onboarded This incredibly successful analytics business that we did, but it was really that we all of a sudden have a truly strategic for customers that's quite broad and that gives them a platform for success. And then when you look at The pandemic, it's transformed to the platform for success from anywhere. So yes, we're going to let them sell from anywhere, Now we really should just be calling it the success from anywhere platform. Anyway, I'm going to have Brad and Gavin Chime in here because I think that you're touching on probably one of the most powerful transformational moments for Salesforce. And it's also honestly, it's one of the main reasons we've entered into an agreement to acquire Slack because it's an enablement of success from anywhere.
Okay.
Yes, I'll add a couple anecdotes. All the big customer names that Mark mentioned in the opening are all multi cloud Transformational deals that really are about the entire Customer 360. I mentioned Align before, that's Marketing Cloud, Sales Cloud and our platform. And so was actually just having a conversation with our Chief Digital Officer, Shri Kohli, just yesterday. And it's really inspiring because they're using
They are an Incredible company.
Just an incredible company. You have
to mention, by the way, that one of the cool things about Align is that it's more important than ever because everybody wants to make sure their Teeth look
good on their Zoom calls.
So they're like have a huge upsurge because everyone's like, woah, everyone's looking at my teeth. Anyway, go ahead. As funny
as that is, it's also true, but the hard part is we're in this all digital world. So how do you engage with patients in all digital worlds? So using our core platform ways you'd expect, but they're also building custom apps like My Invisalign, And which is built on Heroku, built on our platform to build this really direct trusted relationship with their patients. And I think it's a really wonderful example because When you think about, as Mark said, what they want, it's not a sales capability, it's not a marketing capability. They need a digital customer experience And I think every single business is going through this in a unique way, and I think that's very representative of our larger engagement.
Yes. Look, I think most of the points have been hit. But from my perspective, CEOs, C Suite Conversations around solutions fundamentally. They're not about products anymore. They're looking for multi cloud solutions based on a Customer 360, single source of proof, single view of the customer.
And to the earlier discussion, increasingly, Where a lot of the standard things for the industry are built in so that they can use it out So I think we're touching on all the key themes. I think there's one other thing I would mention is that we're getting into more conversations with customers around Based initiatives. So where they want our services businesses to be involved as part of the design, And there's a real focus on what are the outcomes and how we can underpin those. So I think we've touched on most of these things already today. But Certainly, the complexity of the conversation, the sophistication of the conversation is increasing.
And your next question will come from Frederic Havermeyer from Macquarie. Your line is open.
Thank you. Mark, I'd like to ask a bigger picture question. So your portfolio of cloud Cengage customers Offer workspaces for employees and enable business introspection with Tableau and Einstein. Now with Slack, you could potentially integrate 3rd party apps An automated API driven work across this ecosystem. So if we bring all this together, how do you think about the future of work
Well, I think this is really where we're going. And I don't know if you watched my presentation from Singapore, But I went to Singapore with Brett and we did our company kickoff there and we were in person with There and we're in person with our employees there, and we're really looking at the future of work there. I think that they're really living Where the rest of us are going to be, which is why we went there. The pandemic is very much something that in many ways is behind them. Their businesses and their Offices and their hotels are open.
They're still wearing masks in meetings, but they have very low virus rates. And When you look at what's happening there and you look at how they've restructured, you look at how often employees are coming into the office Versus before, this is what I think the world that we're about
to get into. And anyway, Brett, what was your reaction? I think it's a really wonderful point. I think the future right now, we're at this inflection point, where every executive, Mark, including me, has this once in a lifetime opportunity to really transform the way their companies work. If you had told me a year and a half ago we would execute this entire year without being in an office, without getting on an airplane, I would have said it was impossible, but we did do it and we did it without any notice.
And every executive in every company, including ours coming out of this is really asking the question, what is the company we want to be on the What sales meetings are we going to get on an airplane for? Is that contact center that used to be a building, but is now something that exists in the cloud? Are we going to go back to the building or embrace the cloud. And I think it really everywhere and when we were in Singapore and talking to a bunch of companies that had reopened, what stood out to me, Mark, was actually How many of the pandemic behaviors actually remained? And I think that's a really interesting glimpse of the future.
And you're seeing it across our customer base. There's this concept called flexible work that every single sales meeting I'm in, It comes up, which is when are employees going back to the office and notably, what employees aren't going back to the office. And I think it's a really interesting time for digital technology. As you said, I think it's a really interesting time to think about what the future work looks like. And it's part of what drew us to Slack and that company's vision for the future because It's not just a digital translation of the way we used to work.
It's truly a vision for a new way to work. And I think there is really just incredible appetite for that from our customer base.
And your final question for today will come from Terry Tillman from Tuohyst Securities, your line is open.
Yes. Thanks for taking my question. And I guess, Brett, maybe it's for you. I remember Asking at the Analyst Day about CDP and your efforts there, I think you had said something about how you have some large strategic opportunities you were working on. But I'm kind of curious What kind of benefits did you see from the CDP product in 4Q and how much it drove Marketing Cloud?
And how big could this business be in FY 22, thanks.
Yes, I'm extremely excited about our customer data platform. Our brand name for that we call Customer 360 And I think there's a couple of details I'll add. Mark mentioned Hyperforce. This is really the architecture that's enabling our customer data And notably, actually not just in our marketing cloud and not just for marketeers, but actually enabling B2C scale across our entire platform, Because I really do think that CRM for a long time was for B2B sellers. Back when Mark and Parker started this company 21 years ago, that's what people thought.
Now every single company of any scale and every single department wants a single source of truth for their customer data. They want to create segments. They want to integrate all their data from legacy data sources and proprietary data sources. And then they want to activate that across every channel, digital channels, in person And customer 360 audience is generally available. We saw a really strong performance in its 1st few quarters have been available to customers and we really view it as foundational for our marketing cloud in the coming years.
We will take one more Kash, your line is open. Okay, that This brings us to the end of our Q and A session. I'll turn the call back over to the presenters for closing remarks.
Thank you all for joining us on our Q4 FY 'twenty one earnings call. If you have any questions, please email us at investor salesforce.com and we look forward to seeing you
