that's quite strong, and some others.

And so we feel like we've got the assets to win today.

Well, you're certainly correct in that mergers, you know, many folks have experiences of mergers that often involve a lot of cost reduction.

What we were able to say here with 100% confidence and credibility is that there was no cost reduction, that this is all about growth

that the teams are entirely complementary.

And we literally are in a massive hiring phase and are not reducing any positions as a result of this.

In fact, many folks on our team and on the Tricentis team are taking on significantly more responsibility from a global perspective, from an account ownership perspective.

So there was certainly a lot of interest to understand the details.

As we've gotten further into it, our team has gone from somewhat excited to

extremely excited because they see the power of, you know, the combined entities.

Well, you know, as we all know that folks have done M&A, M&A is hard.

And what I would tell you is what's what's really been critical to us is to have that global coverage, which we didn't have.

So I would say get ready to buckle in and make sure you've put the time in at home because the travel is –

is going to be extensive.

But you know, if you're, if you're someone who loves change and likes to win and likes to be energized, then this is the right move.

And you know, for us, and me personally, it's been incredibly energizing and exciting.
