I think Jack Alice talked about this very publicly on Twitter, and it was fascinating to watch just how much resonance that import feature got.

A lot of people came onto the platform because there was a way to take their old data with them.
podcast-host
And they were not locked out from using that, right?
podcast-host
It's another kind of lockout.
podcast-host
They were actively encouraged to take that data and bring this into the new service with them.
podcast-host
And I find this both inspiring because it clearly worked for these customers and very important for the software as a service business itself.
podcast-host
Because not only do you have a new customer that starts using your product, but from that data, you get a massive level of insight into the needs that this particular customer might have.
podcast-host
Right, you see just how much expected capacity is going to go through your system.

If somebody has, let's stay with the Fathom Analytics example, if they already have 10 billion page views in the last month and they sign up for your product and they import these 10 billion views, up to this point, you knew nothing about their business.

podcast-host

podcast-host
Importing that data before they even start using your service, you see that while there's gonna be an expected number of these items.
podcast-host
You can already pre-provision systems that make this run smoothly.
podcast-host
This is kind of customer anticipation you could do that happens because you allow for data imports.
podcast-host
You can see what's happening in the past and kind of extrapolate into the future.
podcast-host
It's a pretty important part.
podcast-host
And it gives people continuity and expectability and reliability.
podcast-host
In a way, it's kind of a soft lock-in because they take their old data to you.
podcast-host
And as Google rolls down their service and their data vanishes there, now you are the only source of that data.
