Allan Dow

seeing to bookings any things, the don't last Couple pace Mac we maintain quarters, having is all We're timing or projects couple faster able little his as of but impact. a we closed accelerate we increase. to being the the we contracts provide the the the are of contracts able of scope of ACV them and first rate forward, some growth of influence on starting an should those of and get sustain specific guidance, to as of over scope be that actually look

So deals we're seeing in as forward. some we larger pipeline the look

to influence P&L. an have our So certainly on he's starting

Matt Pfau

done you've I capacity, what Mac's? in terms that since sales guess And was trended of how

Allan Dow

of him, to period bit have a we offerings look couple so, Max will the we We had out over did of that I we and as on a are a up got see number We in attribute the we acceptances and of in little turnover turnover quarter headcount specifically forward. time board, don't our will there headcount. but that grow forward, some

effect this next you, can coming So increases time we additional even into that there. headcount with share we're quarter some able be when to talking

Matt Pfau

it. Got

comments mix it just that primarily of the over premise now you still seen the the that think business cloud versus on running we you have of the primarily the customers existing the given terms should of transition pipeline, sales is license and as made In products due cloud or driving ACP? are pipeline that

Allan Dow

in not of into seeing As just lifting look customers forward we we cloud. conversion the ship are a

there. not is footprint, expanding exciting seeing really that. news their is that existing are is they're So that a we are What customers doing that which

number the existing and they our those that move a have lift in the they to We that working of will those have, were process contracts already through capabilities cloud. the shift way will they where license

bringing conversions, looking they with lift forward lift be anticipate see will shift, but driven projects are there that we and some by and that expansion shift will primarily So some we are that it.

a will that. seeing flavor not of and be there were So in that mix just lift not a a bit but ship,

existing exceptional a the are think that got this the I We license exception they we're as stay is subscription are add the seeing they in point. just small incremental on, that that convert an substantially perpetual look if pipeline that all are said with license add-ons doing forward small the as we drive would seen be they that transaction probably not they even that model, than it for a but I not will purpose. at towards something Other that they're fee,

Matt Pfau

of the from, customer what's customers, one open your was for do the of Last cloud within how it. expansions one of Got catalyst scope last had with progressed comments for I that typically those you some are expansions cloud early and engagement guess to customers with incremental door their you. expand the the

Allan Dow

Some doing of were an on basis. the earlier ones incremental projects

of X second second anticipated implementation. where there phase that and actually market few as into is expanding the phase into there brought they area. actually well or of moving adding So the that a larger the we're we and whether a now that functionality cases, deployment new tier coming back scope In

So incremental areas. has that's for some been in us

other has actually One influences on to is of transformational are had of committing structured projects, Mac around it more actually the some are structure two projects the they upfront. deployments that

first built-in. a bite to they second then way the will taking few one. to that's bite up was of second may the a and one finished as they beginning until the But to have to longer they for our of those take wait phases for they then step of bit our true and subscription a move was the us So experience because X, play contrast the the where customer out contracts and a phase the they experience, at first the been

whole still that we're these and they I the those So project but looking seeing are projects, entirety how at in some transformational of do looking its at phases together.
