And another part of the standard formula—CEO Zach Nelson took shots at competitors. "Workday is like the Tasmanian tiger," he said. [A species generally thought to have become extinct in the 1930s, but some think may still wander the wilds of Tasmania]. The fact that both Nelson and SAP in its first quarter earnings call this month took shots at Workday suggests that company is viewed as a possible threat. Otherwise, it was the usual slap at SAP, which Nelson cited as continuing to lose revenue in its core market [although not addressing the German company's growth in subscription revenue], and all the other client-server players that don't have true cloud products. The size of NetSuite customers also continued to grow with the average selling price of deals up 50 percent from a year ago as the company added 310 customers during the first quarter. Sales of OneWorld represented 40 percent of new business, a new high for that product. And NetSuite had 2,550 employees at the end of the quarter, up 31 percent over a year earlier, with the largest growth in product development and sales.
