Cloud Software Group

So essentially what, what we're talking about is this less than the bottom breaking and more that the stuff was, that was already kind of an issue is just becoming more of an issue.

It's getting more broken, right? So here the funny part is the names that are breaking, Cloud Software Group, Xerox, Dine Equity, these are, these are tech companies, but they're old tech companies.

They're legacy software, legacy hardware, loaded up with debt, not the guys that are building out these AI data centers.

So at this point, you stop and ask: What about Oracle, right? Oracle's the problem child of all these AI data center build out.

So at the moment, my focus is on ensuring that the Jaspersoft business continues to operate efficiently while integrating it into Actian.

And just prior to this, I ran the Jaspersoft business unit at Cloud Software Group, from which Actian via its parent company, HCL Technologies, acquired it.

Before that, I spent over 20 years in enterprise software on the product side, on the revenue side, as well as on the operating side.

It's various VC-backed companies.

And then for a long time after that, Jaspersoft was a product line inside of the TIBCO set of SKUs, sort of kind of lost its identity a little bit, but still maintained that community that they had established the offering on.

And then in late 2022, Vista combined TIBCO with Citrix.

to form a software holding company called Cloud Software Group, which then carved out Jaspersoft to run as an independent unit.

I only joined CSG to run Jaspersoft in 2024, so I don't have a lot of history with it, but I do know this history and appreciated it as I joined.
