The following partial transcript of a podcast by GeekWire LLC between Todd Bishop and John Cook, which includes a recorded interview with Adam Selipsky, Chief Executive Officer of Tableau Software, Inc. (“Tableau”), on June 15, 2019 is being filed in connection with the acquisition of Tableau by salesforce.com, inc.

‘Salesforce HQ2’ and Tableau’s giant deal

Todd Bishop : So one of the moments that I got to ask Adam Selipsky about was something you alluded to earlier and that was the Microsoft competitions, so I asked him. While let’s hear what I asked him:

A replay of a recorded interview was played between Todd Bishop and Adam Selipsky.

TB : What does this acquisition by Salesforce do for you competitively? You’ve got Microsoft across the lake with Power BI. Is this going to be a standoff here across Lake Washington between Tableau/Salesforce and Microsoft?

Adam Selipsky : Pistols at dawn? Long range pistols. Well, first and foremost, I personally have always believed in the power of being incredibly customer focused, not particularly competitively focused. I don’t think you want to be naive or blind to what your competitors are doing. But, I choose to focus 95% of my time on what we can do for customers, not on what competitors are doing.

That being said, the capabilities, both the product side and sales and marketing, that we can bring to market as part of Salesforce, are really exciting and I think are going to give us a lot of strength versus any other competitor in the market. And, the ability to have the enterprise presence, the ability to have a broad array of technologies to look at and figure out which ones might work and be effective for customers inside the product.

Those are absolutely going to strengthen us competitively. And I think, you know, we already have strong and consistent win rates against all competitors. This should help to make sure we’re really competitive. But the reason we’ll be competitive is because we’ll have great solutions for customers, and that will cause them to want to choose us.

The replay of the recorded interview stopped and a discussion between Todd Bishop and John Cook resumed.

TB : So, we were up listening to the conference call at five. By the way, the reason I was up was the cat started making noise. I was up. I looked at my phone and the notification was there from some service. I can’t remember what it was. Right on the lock screen. But, anyway, up in the browser tab…

John Cook : Oh yes, this was a good eye to spot that, I missed that.

TB : Yes, there was, it said, “Project Tiburon” and I was like Tiburon? Tiburon, California?

JC : Now this was the presentation that Salesforce put together to explain the deal on the investor call.

TB : Yeah, so I asked Adam Selipsky about that which it led to one of the more entertaining moments of the interview that I had with him.

A replay of a recorded interview was played between Todd Bishop and Adam Selipsky.

TB : Why was this acquisition code-named Project Tiburon? Is that right? In the investor call yesterday, if you looked up into the browser tab, the title was “Project Tiburon.”

AS : Uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh.

TB : I was Googling like, “Does Marc Benioff live in Tiburon, California?” I was trying to figure out, was this where he made the text initially to get … I don’t know. Anyway, how’s that for some observation?

AS : That’s sleuthing. I love attention to detail. Good for you.

The replay of the recorded interview stopped and a discussion between Todd Bishop and John Cook resumed.

TB : And then lastly I noticed that Marc Benioff is obviously still learning a little bit about Tableau. During the call he kept, as you said, calling them “Vizzies” so I asked Adam Selipsky about that.

A replay of a recorded interview was played between Todd Bishop and Adam Selipsky.

TB : Can you clear up the pronunciation of the plural of the product of what Tableau creates? In other words the visualizations that Tableau creates? You call them…?

AS : Vizzes.

TB : Not vizz-ies?

AS : Correct.

TB : So Marc, he has a little bit of work to do on that.

AS : Marc has done, in all honesty, an amazing job of understanding what we do as a company. And how we talk about the company. He said, ‘see and understand data,’ a lot yesterday.

TB : Yes he did.

AS : And I really appreciate it. And, he’s done a great job. So if we need to clean up anything around the edges that will be easy.

TB : Yeah, that’s minor in terms of integration issues.
