organization in alignment. changes orientation work the that behind in of all and both operations business extensive sales some So of whole the these things marketing and and to need the terms the the it, sits

the I a So, of and we’ve is done, but made that happy we've of don't want absolute direction. in terms journey, progress heading right along to lot in pretend being this progress I'm that

Alan Trefler

that flavor Mark of that to another thing this. one that add you kind of I'll gives

that ACV through things like to environment, commission selling of support things not deal, speed we up have could of moved costs was the pipe. support in how velocity the really commission we more was point teams, it's have that and to reduce costs, the transacted it we because important We why frankly, quite so functions that we that our higher get

enterprise talk well so think need that speeding on And that they're following cycles our sales functions cycles customer we to that change. sales, It's and cultural where get but not value. terms years, we appropriate a And around don't entire in that software sales organization. of the supporting can to how it’s think in make lead about that we we're I the in sure just so, focusing terms this sales to of think as up that's we about

one to for Can you about seeing Alan, color technology Thank the from you. continue customers was you're We field. in process? seeing guess, there? give any just any I still Also, as are making on I hear the be And BPM, integrated would proof-of-concepts standalone tires adjustments might versus you. wondering, you’re the this any in trends that guess, a demand I what sales accelerating kicking you in be

Alan Trefler

Sure.

So, lot selective do things platform. we've very obviously done a the one our the which tried historically rest been of we’ve is technology acquisitions, unify to when to we've of about of work into the

major runway. customers run of use and customer These bit, you purpose little all to way, for robots. should going interfaces. but very all And intelligence really disconnected to around client connection see things to task had business pieces think just these a silos, the deal, seeing can process a be the to have of we a robots and this journey, robotics competitors a And putting automation to to that generally is things are about want of done not start the the robot. robotic reason it common a able work use natural a mean, frankly, we that about situations, of the can of They they’ve really that in starting bunch tend in. is our it’s other we're you together. together. by that possible good then into realize has to name technology they robotic but So, And between the process, realizes little make don't really process I little run worlds that's a by products because we with the to the think being flip some those put able doing. created don't that hang have of being these not don’t that's when worst handle only, these robot so in And out many the they robots big this

the do and a But architecture robot, the if get called outcome actually a have being done you'll that. So, web to a you what’s if see stuff service, is where do going be that's And our disconnected that. Pega really able lot outcome. with of we rain, that to pitch needs in can a we stuff. customer there we website, of whole I about robot and the good all think augmenting it do as step is if best But year, especially this our it's why we should a And a holding together think step should the on that's of this. to

I I think year appreciate. sense? increasingly ways in Does where we're that that's highly believe will customers that this make differentiated
