Lamba wrote:
“We think the company is able to achieve this given a strong product offering and a competitive environment stacked in its favor. Our discussions with customers and partners indicate some enthusiasm around improving innovation at the company, and while deployments remain primarily on-premise, commentary suggests evaluations of the cloud product. We see incremental growth over the next couple of years on: 1) $200mm CSS opportunity with the migration likely to be completed in 3Q18; 2) $500mm opportunity further down the road on cloud uptake; though, this is likely to be driven in large part by the installed base vs. net new customers. Some product enhancements could help support sales. The engineering organization appears more streamlined; efficiency gains in the n-t are likely to be reinvested for growth.”
