Video Message Transcript
Gary B. Moore:
For those of you that haven't seen the news or been contacted by your manager, I wanted to let you know that ServiceSource has signed a definitive agreement with Concentrix Corporation. Under the agreement, Concentrix will acquire ServiceSource as a key component of its strategy to deliver next generation customer experiences. For those of you that don't know Concentrix, they're a global provider of customer experience, solutions and technology and upon close, which is expected the second half of this year, we will combine the companies so that we can deliver future customer experience together in the market, and I think we'll have the broadest set of offerings and differentiated set of offerings, as well as the solutions to help us continue to transform our customers’ acquisition, engagement and growth, and especially the retention piece of that.
I wanted to let you know personally that a lot of people get nervous with change, and that's expected. Nothing changes until the transaction closes. So this is business as usual, and it's business as usual until we close in the second half of the year. We still have to go through the regulatory processes as well as a proxy and shareholder vote. And again, that will take us into the second half of the year.
I think it's important for all of us to really communicate well during this period of time. And I want you to know that I'm personally, and I think we all should be delighted to, join forces with Concentrix and the opportunity it's going to provide us to execute on our strategy to drive customer success and client success.
And I actually think the greatest brands that we have and Concentrix has some great brands itself, and bringing those together I think will be a really important piece of this transaction. It marks an important milestone in my mind for the 20-plus year history of ServiceSource and I think it's a testament to the dedication of all of you, the value of our differentiated solutions in the marketplace and the opportunity to take the business to new heights with a partner that has shared values and culture.
I'm confident that we’ll gain an expanded career opportunity and professional growth opportunity being part of a much larger, industry leading global organization like Concentrix. And I'm equally confident that our clients will be even more better served through the breadth and the depth and the scope of our combined capabilities and scale.
So, I just wanted to take a second to let you know how confident and how happy I am with this transaction. And we'll be communicating very heavily. Chris will join me for our SourceTalk LIVE Tuesday morning. And I'm looking forward to that, that opportunity for he and I to speak to all of you together.
