Issues
17
Pipeline data only is available for FY 2021. so if we want to forecast beyond that we'll need a new approach to ATR.
18
if we are going to do logo forecasting, need to fix logos on the ATR schedule
19
need billings for bookings made prior to FY 2021
20
monster booking forecasted for Feb 2021. need to get this.

Notes
23
This is a sales capacity / sales achievement model. Sales team ramp and productivity drive bookings. Expenses are consolidated from department budget templates.
24
Revenue is recognized ratably (ARR/12) via the ARR Rollforward - which is based on ACV bookings and reflects churn. The model is not using revenue waterfalls.
25
This is a billings model. Bookings ACV and term drive billings. Which impact AR, and then cash via collections. AR is a function of billings, not revenue.
26
Bookings are based on ACV of the contract. TCV equals term of contract times ACV (assumes discounting baked into ACV)
27
Self-Deployed Conversion to Cloud product is considered a new booking / and commissions are paid. This is a use of Sales Capacity.
28
TCV excludes services. Services do not flow through deferred revenue, unbilled revenue or revenue waterfalls.
29
Professional Services is calculated as 10% of ACV Product Bookings. PS does not flow through deferred revenue (recognized as delivered)
30
Commission payments are based on OTE and implied % of TCV bookings. This approach was taken given complexity of sales comp plans. Need to make sure Commissions are not double counted via templates.
31
Training is based on new logo's.
32
"Bookings by Team" tab is where the model mechanics balance the bookings split between the Cloud and Self-Deployed sale teams
33
COGS is a blend of template inputs (headcount expenses) and variable cloud costs associated with the Cloud hosting at AWS/other cloud providers
34
Operating expenses do not account for share based comp.
35

Risks
38
Q4 back end loaded.
39
Limited sales capacity in Q1
40
Sales team is still relatively small - individual hires can drive meaningful difference in bookings achievement.
41
Matching AWS capacity with Cloud demand. Risk to gross margin based on demand and product performance.
42
Assumes meaningful cash collections from booking 3 year Self-Deployed bookings, billed all up front (assuming extra $13M in collections from this)
43
Budgeted Revenue is being recognized ratably based on length of contract - not consistent with GAAP
44
Customer concentration - meaningful delay in AR collection by large customers can swing cash flow materially
45
Under-estimation of Cloud Hosting or support costs (favorable swing in trends assumed in COGS/Margin .vs recent history)
46
47
48
Hand Jams
49
shifted Cloud bookings in Q1 to last month (see ATR tab)
50
Self-Deployed Sales Team picks up any sales capacity needed to achieve the Cloud Sales targets. This mechanic happens on the "bookings by team" tab.
51
Monthly Average Cash to generate interest income (at the bottom of income statement consolidation tab) has a hard-coded estimate to avoid circularity
52
Q1 churn is hard coded. We pulled some churn out of Q2 to remain on the annual targets. This is on the ATR tab.
53
Non standard guranteed draw is added in the Guranteed draw build out. Reads from general assumptions tab
