Which means essentially I am looking at everything that has to do with asset centric across not just IFS Cloud but some of the solutions that we have procured to compliment IFS Cloud and one day hopefully will be folded into IFS Cloud as well. So, from that perspective, I'm always going to be interested in what people are doing with the product in particular, what people want to do with the product, which is probably more important than what people are doing with the product, and I'm interested in particular in the use cases that are being evolved to be used in the product and workarounds that people

And so, I think we have a session dedicated to this topic later on in our agenda for the year. However, I thought it might be a good tiptoe into that conversation, and it might also give us so my ideas of what to kind of prep or plan for that bigger conversation. So one of us was just sharing their accomplishments from 2023 because he's working on compiling all of that right now. And so they were able to increase calls per day, and then in the call center, increase SLAs a
