from Your next Walter Citi. question with comes Pritchard

is line open. Your

Walter Pritchard

John space? sales players competitive small Question for some replacement. legacy thanks. and given Hi, John, then Mike. question that quarter? in How you side mentioned the you the success force the in market seeing CSM through this of incumbent what landscape the talk Could on legacy big emerging for and the much is there, you're the versus

Michael Scarpelli

Yeah.

typically we're different out there as table modern what technology that CSM used the the There is from lot is may And of replacing be most going really within we're the all replacing legacy customers a problem, the So our for they the their we're that doing. well technology, the modern for choose CSM, Customer that's that’s about a is not in a fact that that And seeing. after. approach you more Management same or And be Oracle to there our like that at very to the could deals see a approach. own lot doing solution. they implementation, was are when just because we're do is us implementation people cause remedy we Service analysis about competing organization CSM of CRM-centric collaborative understanding placebo resolve we're root never from It's legacy business system, us, choose with why so approach technology. usually it's to

Michael Scarpelli

in think are CSM huge on not. And me billion is that. a that somehow way I market. with many $XX the segments. just a people segments it's There let different think Walter, And segment, providers same market, and different clearly too market. that it's all distinct build better align huge

fix it was, the in provider that. the the Salesforce market. we're I'm self-help be to segments full the said, segments the service that problem there We're certain of market of focused require future. other workflow, in not which provider cross-functional understanding happen is problem, to stands. that want the automated resolving But Mike -- want that address cross-functional coordination best of platform workflow, to the CRM-based segment best of that strong And And problem for There the that. contacts, are system. customer on -- as where not customer geared which inbound is CRM billion. segments their is the a cause, that what root $XX after going So again sorry, identify able or fashion, requires doesn't you where so well do a our take

the against And sophisticated market so, development in focus and customer BXB, where our lines is, teams call, services if I market, to we be where would served. needs you the of enter it's go-to-market there where across that the ones sub-segment see technology it's businesses be company, tends product on our leads, were to CSM CSM, to not

I billion a as there's a zero-sum And lot market. market, said, Mike software And it's of old so, legacy there. a $XX think, is this not

I in so, there multiple And be segment. think, winners this will

Walter Pritchard
