“I think the future is actually customer led. So meeting the customer and how they want to buy software, the process they want to take and giving them a true hands on experience. We've basically built an app that allows people to test and compare enterprise software before they buy without needing to talk to a salesperson with a hands on experience with real data in there and all the use case configures, they can do a side by side comparison within minutes instead of doing a month long sales process.”
“We've actually gone out and built partnerships with each of the major vendors. So we've got about six on the platform at the moment, three more in discussion, but we've got more than 50% of the market share of the top platforms already partnered and integrated with us.”
“We're actually a new lead generation source for them.”
