What they do. “We have pioneered a new category of software, the Intelligent Data Management Cloud, or IDMC. IDMC is our AI-powered platform that connects, manages, and unifies data across any multi-cloud, hybrid system, empowering enterprises to modernize and advance their data strategies.” That’s fancy speak for cloud management.
Sell from the top down. “Historically, we have focused our selling efforts on executives such as chief information officers (CIOs) and chief data officers (CDOs) who are often making decisions to purchase our products for their most important business initiatives. CIOs adopt our platform as part of their cloud migration journey, application modernization efforts, and business 360 initiatives. CDOs purchase our products as part of their overall data governance, access, and security strategies in order to democratize data access for everyone across the company.”
The last month of each Q is crazy. “Purchasing patterns for our products have followed quarterly and seasonal trends that we expect to continue. We typically sell a substantial portion of our software product licenses and services in the last month of each quarter, and demand for our software products and professional services are generally highest in the fourth quarter and lowest in the first quarter of each year.”
But focus on the big customers. “as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 and June 30, 2021, we had 27, 66, 104 and 116 customers individually with over $1 million in Subscription ARR each, respectively.”
Strategic partners need to be part of growth plan. “Our business and results of operations will also be significantly affected by our success in strengthening our relationships with strategic partners, including cloud hyperscalers, including AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, cloud partners such as Snowflake and Databricks, global system integrators, including Deloitte, Accenture and Cognizant, and value-added resellers and distributors. We believe further developing these key strategic relationships will help us scale and enhance co-selling of our products and services with these partners.”
