I had no money when I started the company.
It was $160 million, which is the size of many IPOs.
I am.
Yes, I joined just before Christmas and I'm very excited about it.
Well, the company has existed actually for 20 years.
It was one of the first companies who invented something that they now call software management or asset management.
It was founded by two photojournalists who worked in Norway and they wanted to have an easier way to get the pictures that they took into a database so they could share it with the newspaper and other journalists.
And so they were one of the first in the world to actually make such a system.
And it turned out to be so popular that they thought, hey, let's stop being journalists and start making a software company.
Well, they had another, they were running it up until four years ago when they had another CEO.
And then now they switched because, you know, they wanted to think a little bit differently.
They've been selling on-premise solutions mostly and growing organically, selling big, heavy, high-end solutions.
And of course, now, as we know, it's a digital transformation.
So you're the cloud CEO.
Yeah.
I am the cloud CEO, actually.
Yes, I am.
Well, at least a high, very high percentage cloud.
We certainly will have, as anybody, some on-premise solutions because some customers just have that need.
Security reasons.
