And across of elastic? for duration you you you. and sensitivity less behavior? talk the in Thank become Good product what categories? demand any seeing [XX:XX:XX] about cohorts Can expectations morning. customer Are the any price change are

Kenneth Lamneck

[XX:XX:XX] in a I part you always environment the think but would pretty most actually it's there's you say this marketplace, the less the rational volume I that, lot demand. in where know, pricing and certainly pressures for know, been,

margins reflect that. a don't you that. So like crazy environment, it's obviously, certainly And by any gross our know, it anything certainly competitive see or but we being means

this So I'd say pretty been at been it's stage. rational it's

be that a we would at say stage. would this So concern nothing

Marc Wiesenberger

you gaining and presence vendor product categories from Are fruit terms in of Understood. seeing big changes share? is consolidation lowest in [XX:XX:XX] the customer which seeing you're hanging

Kenneth Lamneck

consolidation front. vendor the So [XX:XX:XX]

so towards, in that, home. client couple see to we partners want all clients business. working resource as our less do they're environment a indicative that's from and this trying certainly know, to streamline couple with hours more even business everybody's their from where in a they're we of know, You know, you of you a of driving been questions, have that, perspective And constrained

with business people think, they see do and operations less process. that their simplify is to where I can during consolidation, trying the accelerated they're only So

play of So see out. how who more have the the should industry and capabilities. to some that We'll larger think players I growth continues more that favor certainly in

happening. think that's I definitely So

I that, no think into front, EPS there's the view, from question on seeing notebook know, desktop going you some that's a the point business consolidated for on vendor you And time. players. you're it is been know, quite large a from of the

those of all you and the apples ball the business. and the are the share devils, more of the certainly, garnering more So know,

So I think out on there course, all of acquisitions with that's consolidation And the the continuing well. going the the marketplace. on in I infrastructure as even efforts, side, seeing you're think

view. So to I then to And that what second your that's continue part accelerate just point of the from going think was of question?

Marc Wiesenberger

share. [XX:XX:XX] to Just vendor take provides an opportunity consolidation

Kenneth Lamneck

by area, category, I Yeah, it [XX:XX:XX] their course, is which you the go product way, point of hanging product try I biggest about, a again, a covid, and prior of desktop know, XX not was of you being think, it low view. categories, know, notebooks, percent was The environment. which was think which to product to and in fruit, from the

I now XX to notebooks. And think course, like that's going percent it's change. don't Forty notebooks. percent eight And of

I that is also the biggest area probably and business that think the of way easiest take certainly for to the area So companies on.

Operator

question In Research. [XX:XX:XX] final your with Vincent from Colicchio comes Barrington

Vincent Colicchio

the to quickly Yes, year? Certainly senior force folks improves? additions, be going [XX:XX:XX] can next sales business ramp of as could that fairly are this sort these business

Kenneth Lamneck

available. know, They yeah. are This because, a environment are folks to pretty folks is [XX:XX:XX] you good savvy. hire Yeah, good

we very experienced additionally a that field as know, team sales you to from a less well. So, as them. are well. know, really augmenting our point certainly you And in tends costly we of hire experienced. that business, selective a But less the little, to that to are be also But folks we less build it's relationships But inside you but view. pipeline people so yes, field, books combination. be I'd talent bring, But that of to able have experience, are can the clients, know, with

that the goal been we've that's and on here. So the objective

Vincent Colicchio

know, give you of, about and on PCM? could acquisitions know, in over You your And [XX:XX:XX] pipeline into the your your year you thoughts and near pricing some in sort us thoughts that market future. thoughts, something were about talk maybe the current the year doing the color on

Kenneth Lamneck

a we far as, maximize making as there take integration year sort but process PCN certainly that two know, long. we're the know, always do optimize of we're you you mean, and looking that I out PCM is Yeah, acquisition the as sure they stated, the [XX:XX:XX] we fully,

pipeline. So on course, the depends It we of is very predictable. a timing the not always have And situation.

active opposed we we at full pretty versus tuck need, But maximize acquisitions not will you more acquisitions. So that. now again, acquisitions, we to that more that look scale give the at here. although right sure now, for scale But we're always integration we're we're right talent looking us, acquisitions continue any in to know, making

be of active. the a we always large So if term. timing, and doing control we're wouldn't had pretty here in the complete scale we certainly But it would obviously acquisition near

I think the market's pretty robust.

the of at many know, game. pretty you are think, the stage reasonable I this valuations of

definitely there's market as and more opportunity rational as and pricing acquisitions. in there far there's So more more the know, you
