Tyler Sloat

no were forward. pulled durations. those anymore, value of just are a the in of down kind other half real we differences the the don't differences from bought through like was deals business in before per practices business sold the had about difference any gets term that allocations, And and reallocations. revenue deals the in before and coming historical said which selling long that licenses were term we Leeyo half these historical We've perpetual license were sell then practices all kind year software were then price ramped the of The -- really from the but ago,

Tien Tzuo

to transition. into were bootstrapped middle a catching We of company an that the cloud was on-premise

these out, one-time don't really and sales, over thing as acquired do company that's affect all business our still the all in core small don't they of premise years but to case, contracts. look, so in when reallocations don't something so we right, contracts, the they many a said, customers did immediate that had way. of all and are these that the disappeared as called stopping Tyler why in guys we company, just legacy any take And we we're was this And these just your over unfunded, we'll to We it right, happens on company. that outlook are so material, them, cloud being change converting see on-premise material and obviously that

Tyler Sloat

either, no to is we Obviously, no change there and cash flow change. see there is economically,

to services, requirement, we subscription these use The the SSP you other we when which product, from XXX own so is level. to from and level really our take can deal we John have you do it that obviously that, is to see down and that and reallocations thing the we're deal doing deal the seriously, technical

you growth Now full will see retrospective because too. we when rates be difference is similar our of in little numbers, the said year's -- are we bit going what publish year's kind last last of we think to number
