On the heels of this very important announcement for your company this is a huge deal Lenovo doubling down.
Saying that it will put sugar -- -- line now on its ski season tablets.
On its new thinkpad and IdeaPad as well as android tablets out there and huge deal what do you think this means big picture.
About the importance of the cloud.
Well it's really clear this means that cloud is going mainstream.
They are making a statement that they believe Lenovo who has a really good insight into the and users that they believe that all of their customers.
Need to have -- would benefit from having a cloud account.
And so we're really excited that they partnered with with -- thing to make this happen.
You know so far up until now I think you know a lot of people believe that the cloud base so techie it's for that that really savvy people out there but.
What you're trying to do is make it for the masses in and they still help you get you to that goal.
Give us sort of that a pitch for our viewers out there who who's who think that clouds sounds interesting op seamlessly sinking everything.
Without having to -- remain a -- that sounds great but it still sounds complicated distant the concept of it.
But what we're trying to do and I think we're -- to do with Lenovo is just make it.
As eating uses you know for instance -- now have the clouds software is going to be on -- count -- they need to do -- sign that it's free to get started.
And we walk them through the set -- so they just choose what data that they want to have in the crowd.
And it should be just very very easy you don't need to be technical to use it so what sort of things will -- -- be able to do that they won't.
Boom they wouldn't have been able to do before sugar -- so for instance let's say -- they have a lot of pictures on their computer.
And they have a Smartphones so when there on the go they can access any of their pictures -- are.
You know maybe they can access a document our project that they're working on or scheerer.
-- share their data with their friends and colleagues they can access their music and -- -- on to their device so.
Basically the cloud gives you access and availability all of your data can be you know available to you anytime on any device he's.
You know cable the data -- very completely.
But the cloud -- -- you're tablets connected to the Internet which means you can access your cloud data.
You have a lot of competitors out there there's Dropbox as he and I cloud I mean how do you.
Make sure that your is is different and differentiated.
Now they have to kind of -- yourself to consumers out there.
Well there's a few things that we're doing first of -- compared to.
I cloud are the other you know software from the platform players -- cross platform and that's really important because and in a family -- within -- small business.
-- mom might have an iPhone and -- might have any intra device and so where you know certain that we make certain to work on all of your kinds of devices.
You know compared to other I'm startups.
We want to be easier to use.
We want to be available on all of your devices.
And then also would give people the power and flexibility so we let you work the way you want -- -- -- any of your -- into the cloud.
And in access all of that data remotely.
The year -- combination of leader we don't see all too often your female and you're working with databases in networking in a whole host of very complicated technical issues.
What does this mean to your company as as a leader as -- female on.
-- for New York to get to this next milestone.
So I think what everyone pictures and wants to do is.
Bill technology build software and applications that makes people's lives -- -- more productive or you make sure that they always have access to their data and so.
We're really excited to partner with you know such -- companies such as Lenovo to get our software out there in front of -- -- -- And I'm really excited as you know just any CEO would be to be able to grow our solution grow our service.
