Question: Matthew Hewitt - Craig-Hallum Holdings LLC - Analyst
: Good afternoon. Thanks for taking the questions. It sounds like cancellations have kind of gotten back to maybe historic levels. The funding
environment is improving, so a lot of good things from an external standpoint. I'm just curious from an RFP perspective, the inbound call
volume that you're receiving, have you seen an uptick there, and how quickly do you think you can translate that into, kind of getting back
to that, recurring double-digit revenue growth?
Question: Matthew Hewitt - Craig-Hallum Holdings LLC - Analyst
: That's great and regarding the the data platform, it's nice to see that you're making some investments there when you look at the the sales
and marketing investments specifically, are those, new hires, are they specifically and exclusively targeting the data opportunity or are they
also supporting, the PDX and some of the other services that you provide?
Question: Matthew Hewitt - Craig-Hallum Holdings LLC - Analyst
: Got it. I guess lastly is on the margin side, specifically gross margins, a nice, pop here both sequentially and year-over-year. It sounds like
this is kind of a way to think about the base business or the core business as you look out over the remainder of the year, what would,
where could those go. So, you've obviously added a few people.
I don't know if that's going to necessarily impact gross margins. It sounds like it's more OpEx, but can we expect to see further growth in
gross margins, which in theory should be flowing through to the bottom line, or is there something that would cause those to kind of trick
down a little bit here maybe in Q3 or Q4?
Thank you.
