But they're there because of something that has happened before.
And if my role isn't here, what if that time we didn't review the code goes live again and we have a data problem or something like that?
And so they put all these systems in place for things that have happened in the past instead of trying to build that from the ground up.
And this is what things like continuous delivery and all of those aspects we're trying to do back in the day is build a lot of those fundamentals and the expectations into the platform, into the pipeline so that it flows through there.
I think the same thing is going to happen now.
It's people understanding the end-to-end system, seeing where they can improve it, walking the shop floor so they understand it, and being excited and motivated about the change for the increased productivity and outcomes of that organization.
A strangler fig pattern.
Yep, absolutely.
Yeah, I think it really depends.
It depends on the customer.
It depends on the opportunity that we are going after there.
As a smaller boutique firm, I wish we got invited in by the C-suite to say, hey, help us transform.
But that's not the reality.
As a smaller firm, what we do is we get in and show success.
that becomes noisy, becomes excited, that works its way up the hierarchy, and we get invited in to talk about bigger and bigger things.
That's been our journey forever type of thing.
To answer your question, it's actually changing right now quite a bit and changing with the dynamic of the excitement around change and transformation and all that that I think that we haven't seen in a long time.
is typically the way that we have done in the past is we come in underneath an initiative of something where they want to do something specific and the outcomes of it, and we build with them.
We build a platform, applications, whatever it is for them that they want from us, and we show them how to do it in a different way.
And we always do our assessment while doing.
