“What we’re seeing from the accelerators or the market leaders is, A, they’re retooling their enablement to address this virtual mode. That’s drastic and it’s happening with speed… Second is they’re looking at their product suite and figuring out how to accelerate the integration of the components… When you look at an observer, they may continue down the path of developing a product that may take maybe out five, six, eight quarters. When you look at the market leader, they’re wiping that out and going and buying something. And we just recently saw a situation where there was a company that was building a collaboration product. They stopped building it and went and bought one and integrated it into their suite and they did that in 60 days.”
