Okay.
Yeah.
Get started.
Yeah.
Good morning. Thank you everybody for joining us in day three of the Morgan Stanley TMT Conference. My name is Oscar Saavedra. I sit in the software equity research team here at Morgan Stanley. I am here on behalf of Elizabeth Porter. I am pleased to have with us today returning guest, President and CEO of Freshworks, Dennis Woodside. Thank you for being here.
Yep. Thanks for having me.
Before we get started, for important disclosures, please see the Morgan Stanley Research Disclosure website at www.morganstanley.com/researchdisclosures. If you have any questions, please direct them to your Morgan Stanley research, I mean, sales representative. With that, let's get started.
All right.
Yeah. Thank you for being here, Dennis, again. Maybe a good way to start would be to sort of level set the conversation, especially for folks who may be newer to the Freshworks story. Just can you give us a quick overview of the key problem that Freshworks is solving for customers today? As you move more into mid-market and enterprise, what's sort of driving more of those companies to pick you as for their IT Service Management needs?
Yeah. I've been CEO now for about 22 months. In that time, we've really undergone a pretty meaningful transformation. Our business now is predominantly a EX business serving an IT department of a mid-market company, mid-market, lower end of enterprise. Think about a 5,000 person company like New Balance or larger companies like Nucor, Steel Dynamics, Bridgestone Tire. These are companies that have very complex IT needs. They need a system that bridges ITSM and IT operations management and asset management. They also need help desk capability outside of IT, workflow capability outside of IT. They don't have the same resources as a Fortune 50 company. They need to be more nimble. They have typically smaller IT teams. They typically are more budget-constrained.
They need a product that's that's offering them much faster time to value than the incumbents, than a ServiceNow or an Atlassian or Ivanti/Cherwell, it needs to be AI-enabled. That's where we've really taken the business. Our EX business today crossed over half a billion last year in ARR. It's growing at about 26% year-over-year. That's the growth engine of the business. What we've layered on top of that, and now really is integrated into the product, is AI. Of our 75,000 customers, 8,000 are using AI. We've got good penetration, about 10% of our customers. Long way to go.
Mm-hmm.
-to continue to drive that. But we have AI products for first-line support for the agent to enable the agent to be more productive and for managers. That's really been a big growth engine for us as well. Crossed $25 million in ARR last quarter, nearly doubled year-over-year. Then the third part of the story is really where we came from, which is customer support and our CX business. The primary product there is Freshdesk. That's a little over $400 million ARR business. Growth last quarter was about 8%.
We're undergoing a pretty meaningful transition from a set of four separate products within that family to a single product called Freshdesk Omni, which allows you to have conversational interactions with your customers, much easier to upgrade, much easier to add AI. That upgrade is ongoing right now. We'll have about 40,000 of our, you know, 55,000-ish customers migrated to that new platform by the end of April. That's a thumbnail sketch of the business. I think the growth really is in that mid-market customer. That market is huge. It's relatively underserved by the larger incumbents, and that's really what we're going for. We're gonna build a big business there.
Got it. Got it. That's a very helpful sort of overview. Maybe building on that, you know, talked pretty openly for a while now, that focus on employee experience. It's showing, like you said, you know, $510 million in ARR, growing 32% year-over-year constant currency. It's approximately 56% of the business, growing much faster than the rest. Maybe looking back, you know, what was the original insight that sort of made you say, "Hey, like, this is where we should focus on"? And then as you lean into that, you know, from what you've learned, like is EX structurally a more advantageous market, or is it more a function that you found sort of a wedge and have been uniquely able to execute against that opportunity?
Yeah. EX is structurally a much more advantageous market for a couple reasons. First, from a competitive standpoint, you have ServiceNow serving the largest enterprises, and they do a very good job there. You have a fragmented set of legacy players like Ivanti, Cherwell, BMC, that come from an on-prem world. They haven't necessarily innovated at the same rate as we have. You have Atlassian, which has a good presence in much more developer-centric companies. You have a lot of other companies, prospective customers out there that just aren't well served by the models that exist. Our product for that mid-market customer is the best product in the market. It offers the fastest time to value. It's the lowest overall total cost.
It's the most complete solution on a single code base across what an IT department needs. They need service management to answer questions from their employees, increasingly AI-driven. They need that asset management. They need to understand all the software and hardware in their estate, the relationships that they all those assets have with one another. They use that to root cause problems when systems go down. They need operations management, which is the ability to respond to outages and instances and resolve them quickly, and increasingly that's predictive and AI-enabled. Then they want to be able to extend that outside of the IT department to finance and legal and HR and so forth. That's what we've built. For that mid-market customer, like a New Balance, you know, that solution really makes sense for them.
It's nimble, it's fast, it's easy to get up and running. You don't need, like, consultants or specialists to actually keep it up and running as your workflow changes. It becomes the system of record for IT with all of the interactions between both assets, software, and people all embedded in our system. As AI, you know, comes in, that information, that data, all those workflows become super important to training AI to resolve questions without the agent altogether. That's where we're heading, and that's really what's been powerful about that part of the business. That's the future of our business.
Got it. Got it. you know, maybe staying with what's driving customer decisions, I wanna zoom out and maybe talk about the AI debates, right? There's obviously been a lot of investor concerns around AI disrupting the SaaS landscape. One argument you hear is, you know, if enterprises can just spin up internal applications quickly with AI, maybe they won't need to buy as much software from vendors like you. When you hear that, what do you think people are missing? And specifically to Freshworks, what is it about your product that you view as, you know, difficult to replicate? Maybe lastly, how does that shape your thinking in how you best deliver value in a world, you know?
I think there's three arguments that you know, that are very prevalent. One is that seats are gonna go away, two is that the LLMs are gonna take all the business, and three is the startups are gonna take the business. We have to be super paranoid about all three, but we think we have got actually a very good answer to all three. I think on the first with seats, We're seeing as our AI becomes more and more effective, it is taking the, you know, questions that otherwise would be answered by humans, and it's answering them by itself, both just a simple Q&A and agentic. That is monetized in a very different way for us. It's monetized on a consumption basis, and that model scales quite nicely.
We're pretty comfortable with how that model's gonna evolve over time to enable our customers to get more value out of the software that they have. To the startup point, the reason that that works so well in our system is because our AI has access to all of the underlying data, all of the underlying workflow. It's trained on all that underlying data, customer specific, as well as the entire corpus of customers that we have. You know, a startup can come, and they can potentially suck information out of a system of record to train their model for that specific customer. They're not gonna have access to 75,000 customers and the corpus of information that we have.
A ticket, which is the information a startup might have, through an API call, is a small portion of the total amount of data that is resident in our system. A lot of the data that's in our system is not surfaced through a simple API call or in a ticket. That's the data that actually makes us able to answer questions better, take action better than a startup that's trying to build on top. Seats, it's all about pricing and packaging. Startups are competition, but we have a basis for competing because we've got such a large repository of data that we can train our AI on. The LLMs, I think that's the one where we just don't see it.
You know, you see some customers, building very specialized applications through an LLM, but you don't see them trying to replicate the functionality of a full, you know, a full-fledged IT suite that's powering the entire IT department. There's all kinds of things you would need to do around security, and, you know, we have over 1,000 integrations for the, for the EX products. That's very hard to do. It's taken us, you know, over a decade to build all that. Furthermore, customers don't wanna do that. If you think about our classic customer, one of them is called Vermeer Corporation. They're based in Iowa. Typical customer for us, 5,000 people. Company's been around 100 years. They make wood chippers. They make agricultural heavy machinery. Their business is not building their own ITSM.
That's the last thing they wanna do.
Right.
If they have any spare capacity, they're certainly not gonna go, you know, vibe code that. I don't see that that is necessarily what is going to change our world, especially with that mid-market customer that has a lot of other things that they can do with their very spare IT resources. Of course, we watch it. We partner, and we have, we built our AI, so we can switch to any LLM that we want. For different use cases, we call on different models. We call, in some cases, on our own models, on small models, where the economics justify it. In other cases, we'll call on Azure OpenAI. Other cases, we'll call on other models as well. We have access to the state-of-the-art from a model standpoint.
It's really about creating the kind of environment for our customers where they can actually get work done, and that's what they want.
Got it. Let me put in a finer point on the headcount risk part of the equation. When you talk to customers, what are they telling you, how are they actually thinking about that, the balance between, you know, their AI investment and also leveraging the increased productivity with their hiring plans?
Yeah. Let me just give you some data on the headcount side. We've had Copilot in market for about 18 months. We've thousands of customers that have bought Copilot. That's the product-
Mm-hmm.
That allows that improves the productivity of agents by answering questions basically for them, suggesting answers to them. It allows them to summarize conversations very easily. A bunch of functionality for the agent, make them more productive. Our NDR for customers that have adopted Copilot for at least a year is 116%, right? The NDR for the company is 105%. NDR for EX is 110%. Customers that have used Copilot, that have adopted Copilot, they're actually expanding at a faster rate. Now, whether that's seat expansion or AI expansion, you know, we have asset pricing for Device42, it doesn't really matter. The point is they're actually expanding their business with us, right? You know, we can talk about seat count.
I look at that as a really positive sign because we still are pretty low in the penetration of our AI. The earliest adopters of AI, they have found real value out of it, and they've grown their relationship with us over time. I think that that's, you know, that's kind of where I would start.
Mm-hmm
from in terms of the argument on seats. What was the other part of your question?
Just sort of how the customers are rationalizing those investments.
Oh, how they use it. Yeah.
...with their hiring plans.
Yeah. I think we see a couple different modes of, say, 3. There are classic customers that are growing quite quickly that have decided we're just not gonna hire more customer support reps in particular.
Mm-hmm.
There are classic customers that are saying, "Hey, for cost reasons, I've got to reduce staff." Then there is classic customers that are saying, "I'm gonna take what used to be a cost center and turn them into a revenue center." It just depends on the customer. Either way, we can, we can serve those needs, and we can make money because we're monetizing AI in multiple different ways. Like I said, the consumption model for the L1 agent, for Copilot, it's an adder on the seat license. Then when you get into other products like asset management, it's an asset-based fee. Multiple different ways of monetizing. I also, we're constantly looking at this. I don't think that if you come back in two years, the monetization's gonna look the same at all.
I think we're gonna be looking at seat models. We're gonna be looking at token pricing. A lot of things will change in the next couple of years. We're pretty confident in our relationship with our customers, in the value that we're providing to the customers, that we're gonna figure out a model that works for them and for us.
Got it. Okay. maybe zooming out one step further. You know, let's say AI doesn't replace, you know, the need for Freshworks. The investor worry is still on the value capture, right? That AI will still chip away at the pricing power over time. When you think about the next probably three to five years, like, how do you see AI affecting the margins of what has historically been a, you know, high margin? This is. How do you...
Yeah. Well, I don't think AI is gonna chip away at the value. What AI is doing is allowing our customers potentially to substitute software for people, and that's a huge value exchange. For our customers, it's, it's the cost of an IT rep or the opportunity cost of an IT rep doing a low-value activity is huge. If we can take those low-value activities away from those very high-value IT agents so that the IT agent who's trained in the systems of the company can do higher value work, they can work on projects that are more closer to revenue, you know, all that stuff, that's hugely valuable to the customer, and we'll be able to capture value from that. I don't agree that AI is necessarily gonna erode pricing power.
It actually gives us an opportunity to create more value for our customers ultimately, they're gonna be willing to pay for that.
Got it. Okay.
again, look at the NDR, right? Copilot NDR-
Mm-hmm
is actually hot, much higher than the company overall. That shows that our customers are getting value.
Got it. Yeah. No. Makes total sense. Maybe bringing it back to the business and EX and what you're seeing competitively. You know, it's been growing really nicely, mid 20%. You talked about improving win rates recently and including the replacement of decades-long incumbents. When you take a step back, you know, what is driving, you know, beyond the sweet spot of the 5,000 to 20,000 employees, maybe the higher enterprise, what is driving them to reevaluate their ITSM approach right now?
First in that mid-market, let's define the mid-market, roughly, you know, 500 to 20,000 employees. That's, that's about the same size. It's a lot more companies, but that's about the same size as the true enterprise segment, like 20,000 and up. That's just to give you a sense of scale. That's a huge opportunity just right there. The reason... If you, if you are a Seagate or a Nucor or a New Balance, and you needed to make a decision, let's say 5 years ago, on what's your core IT platform, your platform that's powering IT, you could go cloud-first, which was ServiceNow, or you could be on-prem, right? Or you...
A lot of the legacy players didn't have cloud versions of their software yet, or they were in the process of building them. Of course, if you're kind of looking forward, you would go with ServiceNow. We didn't have a product that was anywhere near that capability yet. Now, today we do.
Mm-hmm.
Customers are seeing that, and we have lots of reference cases. There are some industries where, like if you look at heavy industry, doing incredibly well. If you look at. We have 1,000 universities. We have 1,000 professional services firms. Like, in law firms, we're the de facto standard. We have a third of the NFL teams, a third of the MLB teams. We have a bunch of, you know, a bunch of professional sports leagues, third of the F1 teams. We have proof, right?
Mm-hmm.
We have lots of customer references now. Customers that are coming up, contracts coming up, ending, they're starting to say, "You know what? I'm gonna look around because this is expensive, and it requires real resources on my team just to keep the system up and running." And in some cases, if they wanna go to AI, they gotta switch SKUs, and that's another upgrade, that's another cost. That's provoking a bake-off and an RFP process, and we get in the mix, and we're winning more and more of these big deals. If you look at our business from 50,000 and up accounts, that grew 28% last quarter. If you look at our pipeline coming into this quarter, it was the best pipeline we've ever had for 100,000 plus deals.
Last Friday, we closed the biggest deal in company history, which is a large, very large health system with millions of customers themselves. That, again, that was a win against our biggest competitor. We're pretty confident in our ability to win in that segment.
Mm-hmm.
It's really ours to lose.
Got it. When you think about like, you know, the go-to-market investments that you have to make to sort of go after those opportunities, like how are you thinking about that?
Well, I think, you know, we've spent the last, you know, 20 months since I became CEO really building that go-to-market muscle in, and building the kind of the team that can actually go after those larger and larger deals. You know, that's everything from the sales reps to the account management, customer success, building out the engineering team that can serve those larger and larger accounts. We've brought in engineering leaders from Atlassian and ServiceNow and, you know, all the big players to ensure that we can continue to move up market. You just see it in the numbers, right? You see it in that growth rate of the larger accounts. You see it in the wins every quarter that we keep announcing. I'm pretty confident that's gonna continue.
Got it. Another interesting part of the EX business is Device42.
Yep.
It's showing up more and more in the story. It has now reached over $40 million in ARR, and it's, you know, seems to be getting pulled into a growing portion of larger deals. Sorry. How do you think about Device42's role over the next few years, both as part of landing, new customers as well as a driver for, you know, further expansion into your install base?
Yeah. From a product standpoint, when we go into an account to sell, we, our prospects and our current customers, they don't just buy a help desk, right? They're buying a system to power their entire IT department. They want the IT service management module to work well with IT operations management and asset management, and then ultimately outside of IT as well. That's what we've built over time. Device42 is an important part of that because Device42 is very good at, in particular, on-prem, asset detection, asset management, relationship mapping. That information about, I mean, we're managing literally tens of millions of assets. We have some customers that are by themselves managing millions of assets in Device42.
That by itself is super important for AI because you understand the relationship between all these pieces of software and hardware. You can understand when an item fails, how does that impact the rest of items in the catalog. That's super important. Most customers in that mid-market space, when they're evaluating a switch of a platform, they're looking at all of that. Device42 has allowed us to win more and more of these bigger deals. It's in about a third of our largest deals in new lands. The big deal that I just talked about, largest deal we've ever done last week, that has an asset management module associated with it as well as AI. Increasingly, the relationship that we have with our customers from day one is across multiple departments within IT.
It's powering multiple use cases. It's not a straightforward seat model because you have seats for agents, but for Copilot, you know, it's consumption-based. For asset management, it's asset-based.
Mm-hmm.
Then we bought another company called FireHydrant, which is operations management. That's also based on calls or instance. That allows the IT department to detect instances before they happen, get ahead of it, and when they do happen, manage them. Also needs a strong tie into the asset base in order to do that. The system really is coming together as a complete system that can compete in that larger and larger account segment.
Mm-hmm.
That's been really important for us. Device42 by itself crossed $40 million in ARR, but that's not the whole story because it has allowed us to continue to move up market and continue to win these larger deals.
Got it. Got it. Maybe to close the loop on EX, maybe we can talk about Freshservice for Business Teams. You know, you recently, you know, made it something that you can sell directly into HR, finance, facilities, and legal, even if, you know, IT is using a different system. You know, can you share any early feedback on that direct sales motion? And, you know, over time, do you see this ESM product primarily as a standalone expansion? Or, you know, does it also help create a path to broader ITSM adoption?
Yeah, it's both. The product that we have, Freshservice for Business Teams, it's a segregated workspace, so for an HR team.
Mm-hmm.
An HR team, common use case is onboarding and off-boarding employees. We have an example. We have a security guard company with like, I think, 15,000 security guards. Lot of turnover. They have to onboard security guards all the time. That's a very IT and HR-intensive process. You have to provision a device, or you have to provision software, so forth. That we've been pulled into those use cases over time and build a separate product just for that. We launched that product about 3 years ago. The market outside of IT is almost as large as the market in IT, if you look at the TAM for that for that use case. We're just getting started there. We crossed $40 million in ARR for Freshservice for Business Teams.
That business is growing incredibly fast. If the TAM is equal, as equally as large, you know, that's still less than 10% of our total EX revenue. That opportunity is huge. We see the standalone SKU as an ability to get into a customer that maybe their contract is not up for renewal with their incumbent ITSM for another year or so, but they don't wanna increase the vendor dependency on that same vendor because they might be thinking about, well, you know what? In the future, we might make a change.
Mm-hmm.
For departments outside of IT, they might provision that Freshservice for Business Teams alongside whatever current system they have, and then when the contract comes up, we've proven value to that other department, and we can get into the core IT department. That's how we're looking at the standalone portion. By and large, the majority of our business it's all attached now.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, New Balance is a good example where we started in IT, did a great job for the IT department. They get asked for a similar product to manage workflow and automate and AI outside of IT, and they bring us into that other department.
Got it. Got it. Me going back to Freddy AI, you know, there's a target for that to become a $100 million ARR business over time. You know, you shared some good proof points around, you know, 8,000 customers using AI, exceeding $25 million in AI ARR, nearly doubling year-over-year. You know, what needs to go right for you to reach that $100 million in ARR target, and what does that mean for adoption across your install base?
I think we're gonna see, as I was saying earlier, a lot of different pricing models come with AI.
Mm-hmm.
There's gonna be experimentation around different pricing models. The models we have today are consumption-based on the L1 agent, seat-based for Copilot, and then we embed insights into our highest plan, our enterprise plan. I can see over time that evolving to potentially be token-based for some of those products. I could see us evolving so that we actually expose more functionality that's currently in Copilot in other parts of the plans to entice customers to move into a paid experience with the product. On the agent side, we launched in November our Agentic AI Studio for the customer support product line. The pricing there is about $0.50 per session.
Mm-hmm
... which loosely equates with the resolution. That naturally scales with consumption over time. I think all those together, you know, Copilot alone could be a $100 million business. The AI agent alone could be a $100 million business, no doubt, in the next couple of years. It's really a matter of us continuing to innovate, continuing to deliver value. Our customers need to come along. It takes, you know, the actual adoption by the customer takes time. They need to get comfortable with the fact that, an AI agent is gonna handle what formerly was an interaction that a human.
Mm-hmm
handled. Some customers are ready now. Some customers, it's gonna take some time. I think, I think those things are all coming together. You know, we're clearly on that path to getting it to a $100 million business.
Got it. On that point about, you know, pricing $0.50 per interaction, that's an increase from $0.10 previously.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know, wanted to get your thoughts on what you saw that sort of let you know. Like, what proof points you saw that said, "Hey, customers are willing to pay for this.
Yeah. Well, the experience prior to them was not an agentic experience.
Mm-hmm.
What we launched were out-of-the-box agentic experiences for four verticals: travel, fintech, e-commerce, and logistics. Out of the box, you can create an experience like changing my flight or returning an item and so forth without any kind of human intervention. That's really valuable for our customers, right? That's real time and money that their humans are spending on pretty low-value activity that they don't necessarily wanna be spending their time on. Our pricing is really now in line, if not much more competitive than, let's say, a Fin or a Salesforce.
Mm-hmm.
I think Fin's at $0.95, and Salesforce was at $2 per session or per interaction or so.
Got it. Okay. Maybe the other part of the business, the customer experience, you've been pretty clear that, you know, the bigger focus is employee experience, but you're also working through that platform migration. Can you give us an update of where you are in that migration to Freshdesk Omni? As we think about how you're running the business today from a product development standpoint, how are you allocating investments between EX and CX?
Yeah
... today?
As of today, two-thirds to three-quarters of investment is on EX and about a third to a quarter is on CX in terms of engineering resources.
Mm-hmm
... marketing, sales, and all that. The CX business, our product line... We basically had 4 products that were serving a very similar need. We've unified that into Freshdesk Omni that provides conversational experiences. If I'm a customer, I wanna interact with my one of our customers through chat or WhatsApp or any other surface, you can do it all in one place. The agencies, all the interactions in one pane, so they don't have to context switch. The admin can actually manage a single experience. We didn't have that before. Now we do. That's what launched in November. Like I said, we're expecting to have over 4,000 customers migrated, upgraded into that new experience by the end of April.
Its price. We also changed the pricing for all of our products. We took the price up for Freshdesk Omni because the value really is there. We wanna get through that migration. We think that retention should be higher, expansion should be higher because it's just much easier to experience the next kind of the better product or the next product within the product line.
Mm-hmm.
So that migration and that upgrade is actually going quite well. I think for the way we're managing that business is, you know, it's more of an SMB business, it's more of a high velocity transaction.
Mm-hmm.
It's actually very measurable because most of the sales are just coming in inbound, and we close them very quickly. They're smaller deals and the target market there is more of an SMB. That's where that product is really resonating.
Mm-hmm.
I think it's gonna continue to be a good business for us. I think we're gonna continue to use the kind of the cash that that business generates and invest it into the EX business because over time, that's a business that's addressing a much bigger market. We have a much clearer right to win. We have, we have a product that really is resonating, and the customers expand at higher rates, retain at higher rates, all goodness on that side of the business.
Got it. I mean, as that platform strategy plays out, I think you previously mentioned that your win rates there are improving.
On EX.
On. Not on CX?
I mean, CX is, again, it's an inbound, but it's not the same.
Okay.
You're not actually going head-to-head in a, in a field sale in the same way.
Got it. Okay. Maybe are there, like, any signals that you're looking for that may surprise you to the upside that maybe tell you like, "Hey, maybe invest a little more in CX," or is that...
I think we'll see how the upgrade goes to the new Freshdesk Omni, then we'll decide. Again, I think it contributes to the overall profitability story. Remember, you know, we did 27% free cash margin last year. We had our first GAAP profitable year last year. We're aiming for a GAAP profitability the second half of this year as well on a consistent basis.
Mm-hmm.
you know, that we generated, we're forecasting to generate close to $250 million in free cash this year. We have $700+ million in cash on the balance sheet, we just did a $400 million buyback. you know, it's the CX business is a contributor to the overall profitability story, which really is that we're being efficient with our use of cash. We're in terms of our, kind of our stock price, we see a huge opportunity to go into the stock right now, given the current levels. That's why we announced the buyback. I think it really is the way to think of the business going forward in three or four years, it's gonna be an EX-dominant business.
Mm-hmm.
That opportunity is the one that we're really going after.
Got it. Okay. When thinking about the upmarket expansion, you know, are there any particular verticals or segments of the market where you're seeing the strongest traction today, and how's that sort of shaping, where you invest next?
Our customer base is not concentrated in any single industry.
Mm-hmm.
It's, you know, 45% of our revenue is in the US, 40%'s in Europe, 15%'s around the world. I wouldn't say that there's any specific area that we're sort of like focusing the product on, doubling down on. We do very well in certain verticals, of course. We kinda lean in there from a sales and marketing standpoint. Every company in the world, every mid-market company in the world needs a system to manage all of their IT operations, their assets, their incident response, their service management, and that's what we provide. That opportunity is huge.
Got it. You know, you previously highlighted the partners becoming more important.
Mm-hmm
...part of the process. you know, particularly as you support larger and more complex deployments, how is that strategy evolving?
We have thousands of partners. I think what our, what we're doing, what we've done in the last year is try to be more selective about the partners that really are gonna help us push upmarket.
Mm-hmm.
Historically, we had lots of partners that were more at the SMB end of the market. Those are still important, increasingly investment is around partners like Unisys, which have a much bigger customer base. They have a lot of mid-market customers. Those mid-market customers are open to considering a different solution than what they have now, they're building a business around our product.
Got it. Maybe just to close out, you know, as you look at 2026 and beyond, what are you sort of more excited about, and what are you keeping, you know, your eye on in terms of potential risk?
I think, you know, I think we spend a lot of time on how AI evolves and what can AI do beyond just answering and addressing rote, simpler questions. How can AI actually help with more complex problems? How can AI be much more predictive in understanding what's going on in an IT environment or in a customer support environment and be involved more in helping craft decisions that advance our customers' businesses. That's what they're looking for.
Awesome. Thank you very much.
Thank you. Thank you.
