We are very happy about the progress of the company for sure and way above $100 million right now as I look at the ARR as well as we currently are at the company at ServiceMax.
You're a young one.
I'm actually turning 45, so now I've become the old guy in the room.
But Global Crossing was a very infamous telecom company that actually the world has benefited by now.
They laid undersea cables by which internet was able to go across continents.
And
It was one of the hottest startups, by the way.
I think the fastest to get to $15 billion of market cap at the time, startup that was formed by a founder called Gary Winnick.
And I actually came to Global Crossing the day the company was declared bankrupt.
So that was my first day.
was the dot-com boom happened and the bust happened and Global Crossing had its financial issues.
And the CEO that I became part of, John Ledger, who ultimately also was CEO of T-Mobile, who did a great job over the last number of years, him as well as the leadership team, which I was part of, we restructured the company and ultimately sold it to Level 3 about eight years later.
So it was a little ahead of its time, but we got it back on its firm footing and it's doing great things for the world right now.
Why is my timing messed up?
In the enterprise scale SaaS world that we're in, like Salesforce, when they put out their earnings release,
The fiscal year is actually a year ahead because our fiscal end is January, end of January.
And so it's a little kludgy, but we didn't get the math wrong.
It was within calendar year 21, 22.
So we are very happy about the progress of the company for sure.
And way above $100 million right now as I look at the ARR as well as we currently are at the company at Service Max.
