“ACS, ACS, yeah, out of Dallas was their first customer. I mean, the first price point was at 1.5 million dollars.”

The claim, plainly

Interweave's first enterprise customer was ACS out of Dallas, with an initial price point of $1.5 million.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

How this resolves

Requires documentation such as historical sales contracts, audited company records, or contemporaneous press releases verifying that ACS (Affiliated Computer Services) in Dallas was Interweave's first customer at an initial contract value/price point of $1.5 million. Because this involves historical private company contract terms, it cannot be verified via standard public records.
