AgreeYa brings us more target market customers, which we always want from our acquisitions. In addition, AgreeYa brings capabilities that we have in Europe but do not have in the United States, specifically in key parts of our professional services portfolio. The US and India based expertise that AgreeYa brings will add more value to our enterprise and state government customers in the United States and help us build a more sustainable business in the long-term. We are delighted to have the AgreeYa team joining us to help us to accelerate our growth in North America and develop our strategy in India."
