I guess you could call it a big box retailer problem where someone's roaming around the store looking for staff.
Well, our system notifies staff in real time where to go.
So one of the things that you kind of missed or on the background, which is kind of fun,
is I actually was at MIT.
I did have a startup.
That startup was acquired by Amazon.
Devicetalk.com became Amazon Anywhere.
Amazon Anywhere had a mission, and that mission's focus, or the focus of that mission was make it possible for anyone, anywhere, at any time, on any device to be able to access information from Amazon services.
That turned into multiple different groups, but the one that I'm responsible for and the one where you can look me up and what I'm known for is Amazon Web Services.
So talk about a SaaS solution and coming up with the strategy for one of the most successful SaaS offerings out there.
I was on the original team.
I'm taking that same concepts, those same capabilities, and we're getting developers to adopt customers, startups, Fortune 500s, Fortune 100s, to adopt our technology across many different verticals, just like we had adoption within the first few years of AWS.
Does that make sense?
I mean, so look.
There are the Kindles, and there are the Echos, and there are the Fire TVs, and you are talking to someone who anticipated that actually happening.
So as an argument and in defense...
Yeah, it basically- Yeah, Robert, I'm sorry.
Sure.
No problem.
