Jawad Ahsan

and products adjusted online, specific new bring time on I tell long-term that accelerate. can what that to margin frame you a XX% as margin. But can targeting So we we're for EBITDA, software expect that given that is margin we haven't we

bringing online we're services, our this next cloud dispatch all to be going you our months, the XX when are going over XX margins now as strip you margins professional be we're well. Axon business, at to high XX% quarter very look today delivering software those products records are example, at to For and over out
