As growth hit you and you charged up the headcount scale, what... strains did the company feel because you can't professionalize everything at once you can't suddenly have you know a people system a drm system a psa and all the rest of it you can't have all the subject matter experts that are needed for that size of firm so what strains did you feel and how did you overcome those

Rob FerroneGUEST
it's um it's interesting because there's actually parallels to the the lives of the customers we served.

Rob FerroneGUEST
And there's this collaboration challenge, you know, so as you, like you just mentioned, as you scale, you then have more friction between groups and, or let's say gaps.

Rob FerroneGUEST
And so somehow you need to connect people and, you know, the, the, the need for collaboration is almost exponential and it can either be a tax or a dividend.

Rob FerroneGUEST
And you end up spending way more time discussing, okay, our view of the, let's say the finances in the system, why is that like that? Where did that number come from? Hold on a minute.

Rob, you did not bring the Ferroni players this time to head as like we had this great murder mystery last year and were they on strike? I guess they were on strike or something.

Rob FerroneGUEST
So people in the past have, you know, when you talk about people in PLM, and that was part of my presentation last year or the sketch, I talked about it's not just about the users and it's not just about org change management and it's not just about training.
