Dave: So you went through that process, it was timely, it was expensive, it was difficult. Was it worth it?
Emily: We have seen a huge improvement just in the way our data looks in terms of billing. Previously, before we launched CPQ, we were doing all of our billing manually out of spreadsheets. And so the fact that we’ve been able to now automate this process has been a huge win for the business.
But now we’re also able to run analysis on things like discounts by product and products by industry and getting so much more into the data and into the weeds of what we’re selling, how we’re selling it, and all of that, so it’s been a huge win.
