[00:12] Dapresy.  I don’t know.  Anyway, I apologize.   [00:15] That’s OK. [00:16] Rudy has been on the show before.  I’ve been a big fan of your guys’ brand.  What is going on right now in the world of Dapresy? [00:23]    I’m still trying to figure this out because this is my second week on the job.   [00:27] Welcome. [00:28]       Thank you very much.  It’s exciting and, overall, joining, it’s clear to me they’re experiencing a lot of growth.  There’s a lot of hiring. We’re opening up a new office in Sarajevo. [00:38] Congratulations.  That’s huge. [00:40] A lot of it is sales and marketing.  And then we’re trying to figure out who’s going to do the work that we’re selling to.  So, there’s positions open for that as well.   [00:48]  How exciting.  I mean you guys offer industry-leading, customized data dashboards that pull data in.  I always thought of it as quite literally as a BI for insights. Is business evolved into a different direction or is that still the core competency?     [01:07] It’s still the core.  And the target has always been mid to large market research companies as well as enterprise but we now have a Do-It-Yourself option coming out, which is a much lower entry point in terms of cost.  So we’re going back to many of the people who maybe have been turned off in the past with this new offering going forward.   [01:25] So that is going to unlock a whole different set of customers, it sounds like. [01:31] Sure. [01:31]   What do they look like?  What are the personas? Do you know? [01:35]  Users of?  These are people who respond...  Well, the short answer is, “No, I don’t know.  I’m trying to figure this out.”   [01:42] I love it. [01:44]   You have owners buying it.  You know from smaller market research companies and analysts using it.   [01:51] You think about like enterprise research or enterprise solutions used to be sold at an executive level.
