Q And, and, uh, did, was this an internal need you saw? Like, how did you know this was a problem?
A So we had experience planning at Microsoft, which was a six month process, and Bala and myself, we were part of the sales planning customer for life team at Salesforce, dealing with 1500 sheets being sent to 400 managers August to February, and so we started looking at solutions internally to start streamlining the process, and we looked at tools like Anaplan out there, And, uh, none of them could meet the need of what we ended up doing. Then Bala and his team built a prototype version internally for Salesforce. And we felt that, you know, I think there's a need for this in the mid market, um, that we could, we should go out and build a platform dedicated to this function.
