Adam Tindle

Ken, healthy cycle, I potential know hardware just slowing community. outlook. that reseller of be lot there's confusion There in into difficult. we're seeing But things seems a of in the XXXX, continuation seems wanted reform pretty I comparisons, XXXX year-over-year, are a more to start distributor to to a the beyond on that. view going that and of tough make the outlooks tax growth benefit different solid like investment the it number from out at a year-end and spending level there

the for hoping remarks, just you're prepared I partner mentioned from expectations that you but in customer dynamic also what this XXXX. and expectations hearing the I'm So on talk growth analysts' your then know level both you industry for and can about maybe

Kenneth Lamneck

and, healthy across business would pipeline as I we areas for things our I real visibility, for definitely that solution Thanks, visibility we overall, would probably we the and have X see far say a bookings. And as Yes, quarters of from out few course, Adam, look represent. that. what say, that

the activity area. desktops, going the of course, sort good of of in notebooks, device So on, area

said, big a is be this We actually it that pretty bit enterprise large little do lumpy So with a Again, to continues overall, of sort this -- we're of we is that. because we refreshes just and a is be clients. think as or strong. we continuation? But, hearing cycle seeing everything will see continue to

So no in that from pullback us area.

as Our between starting to really and activity, on cloud good really some of the activity that. transformation traditional sort network far and seeing Insight server take and of business Datalink cross-sell focus center we're data advantage storage as

continue sales doing at with continue strong the we So of things be Azure, grow cloud we're so and you look forth. Office strong. Microsoft And very, that that things course, to very to XXX see when like

to do continue as more their our we to and business and be the moving So digitally, they solution clients, looking and on to for of more see be be healthy of how to, are of course, IT improve a enhance more them. market and to continues

in So consistent remain what pretty with last seen the we've few we quarters.

Glynis Bryan

translates into Adam, just of maybe we can just the that translate in guidance that that terms I numerically gave. how

that software be made. would we expect low range hardware the including is mid-single-digit that comments services, Ken to to given So overall, going in rate growth and our the

we continuing So in anticipate to XXXX. grow

interest with consistent. cloud, that of bit to the giving expect environment bit going fact where that be at tax little X relatively be relatively higher, year-over-year given the at We a is the versus the higher a that XX.X% the in a One lower had that. that we rate we ended look relatively in, it's basis, XXXX, we're as midrange to when XXXX, on well as anticipated we're be guidance, a to higher would than given year-over-year operating of basis. XX.X% low drivers that you consistent we income all We've a are be our would mutes is little you but EPS that anticipated margin have And seen more and EPS our guidance. But gross expense the on that. be conversion expect our EFO it to of there interest is so -- XXXX, to we around

get math, growth will you about the to If do X% there. you

Adam Tindle

kind Seems I the why some investments see we areas so trying more some the mentioned line. higher-margin things to EFO mid-single-digit offsetting. nicely. Yes, revenue to like just of EFO I'm you there's that's modest of leverage. are touch increase would on are guidance of Ken suggest understand some But on EFO on line. the range, you've remarks, got because I the want seems kind increase you said, growing maybe helpful, margins a and wouldn't some in really like know to expect prepared growth, in the But it a that to

the it's about XXXX and the in Just modest of takes why of EFO puts kind and to flattish? margin talk

Glynis Bryan

are strong It would explanation that. And the investments very of good Modestly of top I XXXX. is as to strong the actually making the data had to Workforce, modestly that solution continuing a for more innovation. a that XXXX cover up. it we make we're certain on investments business. there pivot towards in is we continue guess, but be around part a flattish, We transformation we're and want very areas trend, and center cloud that our Connected digital And

So those are going forward. and to other be ensure make the Insight drivers of to the that investments to further to in make margin we continuing want drive I expansion that future, will one for comment. going we're just

may QX think think -- remember, QX, the we seasonal in generate we in that of revenue growth of to and I last we more Adam, typically terms this, and very QX as for a that expansion. of It dip revenue be anticipate last will You didn't year strong able was in see. We'd that about QX that still strong muted growth. talked December about but EFO in Insight. It was be see margin year was as I we'd gross normal

Adam Tindle

You in give you similar just to that? clarification because from beat you I But had was year in going we go about call revenue what that sequentially trends update large one punch, an to large with in Can I the QX. QX. just of just to been had So deal there. the had on me know us on maybe happened don't last see a just the large thinking previous talked as we'd final where kind I with deal. drop-off that perhaps, see that update deal, I

Glynis Bryan

is in. is netted. coming still to be deal large The going It

talked impact be on great. is but focus going -- revenue we the deal of about transaction, not on impact driving isn't the guess, in didn't So the It's revenue higher that QX I netted revenue XXXX. side that growth we it to really of it, when a so

Adam Tindle

not of we as normal above prior much of a make sequential So nuances. got sure an of as as uplift in think want maybe growth QX result I quite kind have all years? of may EFO in and kind just as the we've dollar to

from next Sheerin, Stifel. The is Matt question

Matthew Sheerin

for from questions of year, just couple expectations software a revenue Just your the me. versus on hardware. One,

figure looking model side, you to on the an some On are comps continued of obviously, that software here transition services. down with basis, was but year, into because apples-to-apples sort at software the also out, given the customers? because of last and fair So we transitioned services are migration -- XXX towards trying

So I'm trying to should software actual how year. figure about this the we number think out

Glynis Bryan

So to the primarily impact Matt, 'XX on versus the apples-to-apples relates XXX security. it software the XXX we're goes away now around 'XX as impact, because number,

So of million you're kind forward there's line it's but going impact the software was versus XXXX. pressure going impact XXXX, see walk away into to thinking That's think $XXX I to we not line a no going that most you was of going on -- it software XXX. that to because I want to don't the on related the in XXXX reported

Matthew Sheerin

you I'm to least because mean, top trying or software That's figure I slower, theory, what it to it, should modeling But in grow the out if higher line that would it have is slower. me seems just at that might so of issue. year but netted thought there get I margin gross the boost profit just growth down, which on flat would've that you're you mix dollar the is still a basically, guiding, gross for because --

Glynis Bryan

quarter remember, different gross quarters. we We you margins of But in in could associated in boost I XXXX, get that think back anticipated little a the said we a call, of with that in bit our half higher revenue going anticipate the year. our in be would business of mix the back gross and to we half growth muted of the the back changed our would as half was that be margins second

XXXX in So that play would that going going conversion well we're a some into we're from But differential -- year, coming cloud of our rest -- away gross as be XXX because don't benefit QX going we in to out is gross in strength not got of know XXXX, of the goes of QX. big may but conservative. see the margins really in that to terms we'll so we out percentage the as anticipate associated the through we how [indiscernible] XXXX we with margins, netting XXXX strong bit And see in
