Daniel Bartus

taking you, for Good to question. thanks guys. see Hey the

a trends something that ask here. and opportunity. I missed I So to good is AT&T mention potentially the Maybe maybe a which of it, about or that ask lot definitely is also positive you will didn't about

Just picture that to meaningful Are of kind And in the moving that, you the that you ramp in in look of a was related piece becoming and in how wondering is of if for needle And offer? see just bigger can quarter? future more I'm yet. just year? AT&T how do kind the of important numbers are service partnerships throughout general? how you the the really the relationships a provider your these lot then this could bigger it relationship

Rowan Trollope

that I will Yes. take one.

Daniel Bartus

But at they related least. are

Rowan Trollope

doing Yes. is AT&T it our internal of but out terms well. to our materialities are And is plan. business, it so beating we doing in the breaking better than is specifically, that not expectations,

about the very, ramping They very ramping, from I excited and terrific is is track AT&T team. and most to there on The important FiveX. message they really great say. So and partner would support it are are with,

and more number. we see expand continue think that I our impactful to be should revenue So to

looking answer absolutely the much us in are are are and software countries, the or past, SPs for sort ours. is cloud various their are do In case. the public particularly And of terms world international of bring Inference in software they did they the always and In to now important that the they reconfigure opportunities, of acquisition important, everywhere. of think years sort companies one SPs. general, U.S., nice And more but prem looking vendors the is, things less more to market wasn't about And in move of there pretty they I yes, the more SP everywhere outside SPs. the to the like legacy been some have take those incremental SP towards opportunities. it And

X for I think "Hey, towel was path the examples those the on AT&T not being of with one right who on us. throw that, said, that of

that and all are we to in think more more I going a service cloud see going vendor." are providers. with with We

Michael Latimore

impactful traditional sort CX of Great, center. the good is guess the of any team afternoon, awesome pretty nowadays. are you opportunities seeing the contact quarter. I Obviously, sort outside

you here? quarter, little is bit are case. bit care last the health think use I need CX about for a broadening a talked just But you a little finding

Rowan Trollope

We the conversation are that community, the that definitely the is of beyond center. UC and over run. It business from topic conversation is the something driving hearing see obviously contact the industry particularly as it amongst footprint that today. long crowd the analyst have we amongst opportunity that But an topic customers, just not who of a is

great been new partners, have working those our in of try ways. stitch one to interesting together to Zoom, and with We

part up the example, to up look, "Hey, technically, keeping for record not system. you the the the there call CRM the or in into center talk from say, And center system, is the the but with we transferring it. accounting some need pull comes the UC customer CRM call So over let's in and, says, Mary contact contact data the organization center to that other through of in contact

and Mary presents the experience, it it on. or case the information that the contact sort gets is information So light ticketing so that of where and call, a when like center CRM data

interesting home, think opportunities, is which I nascent. sort into like are we pandemic, last through So is day even are still agent eyes big sitting accelerated question, headset in drove although exactly I restaurant. But frankly, - at the the think, center. I the sitting that of this wearing a to, contact the center. a The say a shift where person everyone's video they what and contact opened thing is do have were agent is wasn't there a to will may talking other they a wasn't a actually drive-through the

And the from remote in across So especially you to now come we what think the of be. a I that as contact is as I and a these pandemic continue does are of it to sort is do industries think the these more and the and engagement, remote what new going want shift out we center center really, where to like? first see many expansions see a to are interesting actually away contact going rethink, - shift what shifts they world more companies look could towards of

Rowan Trollope

customers. increasingly is our It with important Yes.

are So many And really of and as around essentially we maintain. new, that what and available now, for what customers been are What time. new expensive just were is more have is many IVAs complex we now mentioned They IVAs. deals is seeing extremely have we including some up set these it difficulty, to to demand. is making large are and

it a a it traditional that range. we IVA. from, taken pricing is So the towards away From to market, way have the IVR is shift the a that moving Hey, and perspective,

digital average ARPU $XXX We are the looking per in agent. $XXX somewhere to

them it the selling would by the replace agent, one for a is seat, out we are playing charge And two normally if to that hundred so had roughly we bucks we how is And going times at product. all couple rate you resolve without of of which we human IVA monetize about human my these agents. thinking less customers capture I so can human beings sort discussed way the that this are ever have with hit can way I incidents around letting and the

next from KeyBanc. with Enders Our question Steve is

Steven Enders

I base. how ramping? are then wondering And into I just to last expectations and that Observer is the acquisition want that inference bit ramping Virtual follow how kind WFO like made some secondarily, your and guess, on sell acquisitions seeing there. a up but know versus those wondering you made in a ability just other a, how opportunities called of to to of I quarter. those the are and few when that out go the you you your little you scaling what with are

Rowan Trollope

Yes.

start across And Inference, interest I was we going actually question, now. So that, quarters that we to strong the seen and two think, have the off theory it is was there our really but to been, seen it your in customers, have board. larger be

been on now all by not five, Observer, we seeing phenomenally three plan. well. have we - And front, somewhere that tremendous of in on ahead our quarters, the this pipe is acquisitions. just are Observer a So and the there, Virtual essentially And plan in doing had has six that are portfolio we we are of ahead way. what, for, Virtual

We think folks resell most I know, we Verint. as also,

has the grown growth. have adoption So an for seen just WFO Virtual to management, engagement call rate whatever category But of or has us workforce absolutely increased want That led Observer overall we overall. it. you

major We wanted we to that set have finished make. of the integrations first

integrated buy natively. suite. sort So it now, FiveX is when complete of in The is a you user experience tied

something think our looking that that for. So was were I customers

automation And essentially also they from a the smaller coming really in really run rate then workforce much acquisition, base because And didn't but of with And well revenue. so yes, last or one we base. was a have terms Window that. the going smaller probably much been much, thrilled have really, the

critical not to you larger that is the see our deals the these product being yet. of do have case doesn't of some this we out where or something material box. in But that always do it increasingly necessarily So business as corner

us fact helps no-code that low-code, have deals. we this close larger the so product workflow these And

we able is a of comes so technology. automation these factor as there that of a result where workflow product, large from to enablement also are And of deals the that more land

our pleased been have very how doing. So with across the board, I'm acquisitions

You can't anymore. do that
