Factset Research Systems Inc Q4 2021 Earnings Call Summary

The following is excerpted from the question-and-answer section of the transcript.

Question: Ashish Sabadra - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst : Congrats on such a solid quarter and an impressive guidance. My question, more on the research side, and this is the first year where we've seen such a massive acceleration to 6%, as you mentioned, your deep content as well as technology transformation bearing fruit. I was wondering if you could provide more color. It looks like it's been driven by new wins, client retention. But if you can just talk about how do we think about this research and advisory growth going forward, is that kind of growth sustainable given your deep sector strategy?

Question: Ashish Sabadra - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst : That's very helpful color. And maybe just a question on margins. Again, great to see margin expansion despite the investments. And my question was more over the midterm as you retire your data center. First, the question is are you still on track to retire the data centers by end of fiscal '22? And how should we think about the cost savings as you get rid of some of the redundant cost and get back to a more normalized investment cycle?

Question: Ashish Sabadra - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst : That's helpful. And congrats on the solid quarter.
