Question: Matthew Alan Stotler - William Blair & Company L.L.C., Research Division - Analyst
: I guess, first off, as you mentioned, you already had an integration with Rundeck. So I guess, first, was there any, I guess, deeper components of
that partnership? Or is it just a simple integration? And then, I guess, what drove the decision to acquire the company rather than continue to
partner as you've been doing?
Question: Matthew Alan Stotler - William Blair & Company L.L.C., Research Division - Analyst
: Got it. That's helpful. And maybe one for Howard. Helpful metrics that you gave. Anything you can speak to in terms of how you're thinking about
potential revenue or cost synergies at this point?
Question: Matthew George Hedberg - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Jen, could I start with you? In terms of the pricing for Rundeck, can you kind of talk through how it was historically priced and perhaps how you're
thinking about it once the acquisition is complete?
Question: Matthew George Hedberg - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Got it. Yes, that's -- no, Howard, that's what I was trying to get at.
Question: Matthew George Hedberg - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: And then -- no, that's fine. And then I guess piggybacking on Sterling's question earlier. It feels like it's got a very DevOps-centric focus today in
terms of automation through remediation. But even expanding a little bit further, could this ultimately be used for customer service, security areas
outside of DevOps, which I know is an emerging focus for you guys?
