Question: Ashish Sabadra - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: So maybe, a question, how do you -- like, expanding beyond your core customer base? So maybe, JR, for you, on the CTS side, like, what percentage
of your customers are quant versus a more traditional asset managers, both hedge funds about long-only asset managers. And how do you expect
that to change over the next 5 years, particularly as you make it much easier, the cloud distribution makes it easier and API makes it easier to
consume the data, how do you expect that to evolve?
And maybe, the same thing on the analytics side, like following up on Kevin's question, pushing analytics more into the wealth side and are there
bigger opportunities on that front as well. So maybe, expanding beyond your more traditional customer base?
Question: Ashish Sabadra - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Linda, again, thanks for the details on the margin. So maybe I'll ask the question that Alex might have asked, but.
Question: Ashish Sabadra - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: So maybe -- you talked about coming up with more details on the productivity side, but I was just wondering on the people cost. As you think
about off-shoring versus on-site or automation, how should we think about more opportunities on the productivity front there? But also on the
technology front, as you move to the cloud and maybe retire some of your data centers, how should we think about the cost savings on those
fronts as well? So more details on the productivity side.
