EMEA 4Q results finish up, helped by several large mega-relationship awards. Americas has a flat 4Q, and Asia Pacific was down markedly.
For the year, the number of Broader Market awards sets an all-time record, while Broader Market ACV finishes down slightly from 2014.
Cloud, digital and automation drive down average award values and contract durations, resulting in the lowest annual mega-relationship activity in 10 years.
