I had no money when I started the company.
Sure.
So a lot of people are either accidentally or intentionally project managers in their job.
and most people have used Microsoft projects somewhere along the way.
So kind of the easiest way to describe it is, you know, we're a bit of the anti-Microsoft project, where in most systems, you as a project manager drive all the dates into the system, and the system makes the schedule on the screen.
In our case, we're actually calculating the schedule for you.
So we're looking at your priorities, the people you have on your team, and how much effort is required to do the work for your projects.
And using those constraints, we calculate what's realistic to get things done.
So how quickly can you deliver your projects?
given your priorities and the people you have.
So we're automating that process of creating schedules and removing a lot of the manual overhead and manual updates that project managers have been saddled with for many, many years.
So this is accelerating the pace of information for people working on, in our case, usually big complex projects and improving their visibility, their predictability, and their reliability of their data.
I mean, it's still around that amount, I would say.
You know, what we've seen recently is that more and more manufacturing companies are actually starting to move to cloud-based solutions for project management.
And they're seeing a particular benefit from our approach to project management.
And so this is typically an engineering organization.
a group that's doing both R&D on new product development and also customizing
products for customers doing maintenance work.
So they have a lot going on and the projects are typically very complex.
And so they're the ones that need the most tracking.
