As a result of all of these factors, were now in the unique position of being able to provide a competitive platform that not only meets all of our customers needs, but also helps them to produce a better, more effective product. In doing so, its also helped us to bring in a number of new customer engagements from companies using legacy technologies, which is another key sign of the value we are able to provide.
