“We sold the company to Teradata in 2011, and then I ran the company as a division with my co-founder, ah, for a couple of years.”

“And we realized that the only way to realize what the product and the company, ah, the vision, what it could offer was to align with the major player.”

“It's an amazing database. I will still say that now, you know, seven years later, it's an amazing database. There are things that that, that system can do that, That really nobody else on the market can do. But, ah, it's proprietary and it's expensive.”
