CFO说

IBM CFO, Martin Schroeter

Because the world is experiencing something of a data glut, Schroeter said that artificial intelligence tech will ultimately be the leading way for companies to understand all the information. "Our point of view has always been that you need a good set of cognitive technologies to make sense of all that data." the CFO said. But while IBM will continue to re-invest in and grow its business, Schroeter admitted that the spending has probably peaked. Schroeter said it was time for the company to stabilize its spending so that its newly bought entities would receive the proper amount of money to develop their offerings over time.

鉴于全球都在经历数据供过于求的情况，IBM CFO Martin Schroeter认为，人工智能技术最终将成为企业理解所有信息的主要途径。“我们一直认为，企业需要一套先进的认知技术来理解所有这些数据。”不过，尽管IBM将继续投资并扩大这方面的业务，但Schroeter承认，这方面的支出可能已经到达顶峰。“现在是需要稳定支出的时候了，这样才能保证确保新收购的公司在一段时间内有充足的资金用于产品开发。”

Deutsche Bank CFO, James von Moltke

Deutsche Bank reported an almost 10 percent drop in revenue in the three months through September, versus the year before, amid a weak market and the ongoing turmoil of a major restructuring program. CFO James von Moltke said,"We swim in a pool with our competitors and particularly the capital markets environment has been weak in the past couple of quarters, so we're looking for the revenues to pick up."

德意志银行报告称，今年第三季度的营收比去年同期下降了近10%，原因是市场疲软，以及大规模重组计划导致的持续动荡。CFO James von Moltke表示，“我们与竞争对手在同一个领域竞争，特别是在过去几个季度，资本市场环境一直很无力，所以我们也在寻找机会来增加收入。

Lam Research CFO，Doug Bettinger

Last year's failed $10 billion bid for KLA-Tencor Corp likely marks the end of efforts at any major acquisitions by Lam Research Corp and other booming producers of equipment for chipmakers, Lam's CFO Doug Bettinger said. He said, however, that he was not opposed to one or two smaller deals. "I think large scale M&A is perhaps behind us. It doesn't mean that there might not be a tuck in or two left out there, but the last two really big deals didn't clear the regulatory process."

去年以100亿美元收购科磊半导体( KLA-Tencor Corp) 的失败可能标志着泛林集团(Lam Research Corp)和其他正在蓬勃发展的芯片制造商重大收购努力的终结。泛林集团CFO Doug Bettinger 如是说。不过，他并不反对进行一两笔规模较小的交易。“我认为大规模并购可能已经过去，但可能还会有一两个大规模收购机会，只不过近两次大的交易由于不明确监管流程而最终失败。
