Hexagon AB

So I'm very passionate about interoperability and open standards, and I was with them for about two years.

And then before that, I was with Hexagon and Hexagon US Federal via the acquisition of Luciid.

for about 11 years.

And then going way back to when I was actually writing code, I worked with Esri and the professional services group there, and then with some Esri business development, or some Esri partners before that as

I'm having a wonderful time.

Now, you were, you were at Hexagon Live last year, right?

Yes, I was.

Yeah.

[laughs] Exactly.

[laughs] He was like, "Yeah, and a slide rule."

So he was there when Intergraph first started taking off, and so he's, we've kind of known about Intergraph before it was bought out by Hexagon and now Octave, um, way long ago.

It's always been a part of our family's lives.

Um, as part of our group, we have a s- a team that does software monetization.

So companies, especially in this space, think of like your, your Staubli, your Hexagon, your Siemens.

As they add software and AI and they want it to be a revenue stream for their business, uh, they need a set of mo- modern monetization tools, and that's what we offer them, what I manage on our cloud services team.

Uh, we essentially give them the ability to protect their software, uh, and AI, as well as to sort of control the business model in a very flexible way so they can change the price and packaging without calling their engineering teams.
