Thank you Marty and welcome everyone I'm glad to be into called if you today.
Earlier in the year, we talked about the opportunity to become the leader I meet exciting and expanding markets that they're experiencing rapid and accelerating growth.
This vision is taking shape as evidence by a strong and consistent financial results recognition from industry analyst.
Accelerate the based of innovation and the Fox growth profile global partner ecosystem.
So I think my financial results Q3 was another strong quarter.
In Q3 total revenue increased 8% to three how that's an $87 million.
Driven by another strong quarter, you cloud revenue, which increased 27%.
The strong topline results led to further increase in profitability.
Operating income was $106 million, which was an increase of 9% compared to Q3 last year, an operating margin increased 40 basis points to 27.4% compared to the same did last year.
These strong operating results led to an 8% increase in earnings per share to $1.30 cents.
With a current annual cloud revenue run rate higher than $600 million. There is no doubt that we are the largest cloud company and to give a foreign front or in the market studies transforming to the cloud.
Cloud revenue powered by six one now represent nearly 40% of our total revenue was bought a recurring revenue represents 74% for total revenue up from 70% one year ago.
Well consistency, we consistently signing more six one deals each quarter driven by increased coverage of additional market segments and geographies.
The same time do sizes are going demonstrating the rapid penetration six one into very large enterprises.
Furthermore, the document rates of our seamlessly integrated workforce optimization analytics are increasing dramatically boosting our win rates.
These collectively demonstrate the value of six one is a truly integrated into French you didnt need people dropped out from the seamlessly incorporate the market, leading routing workforce optimization and analytics.
Other evidence of thought leadership is the continued confirmation and recognition we get from industry analyst.
In the recently released Gartner Magic Quadrant, we were named the leader full contact center as a service.
We achieved the highest overall position so both of our ability to execute and completeness of vision further widening the gap between us and all other competitors.
Moreover, our long term leadership position he's made more apparent by the fact that we have been named a leader every year since the magic quadrant inception.
In financial crime and compliance we recognized as the leader in anti money laundering solutions like Forrester research.
No. This group recognized nice optimizing the most significant event or in the market in the fourth airwave onto money laundering solutions reports.
Nice optimized received the highest scores possible football offering and strategy.
In another leading down at least that board Nices Lpa was recognized for innovation and successful global implementations.
At least fear no did nicest consistent innovation in cutting edge to the capability for its RP a nice employees will drill attended would you are driven attended automation offering.
Another area I wish we see our leadership strengthening innovation, which is being powered by the flexibility and agility six one and excites.
For example, the new photo lease of 612019 now makes its possible for organizations to reach any interruptus customers independent of choice using a vast strangest natively integrated digital channels, such as SMS text tweeter, what's out Facebook messenger, which it and many others.
All unified on a six one thoughtful.
Six one ushers in a new par a dice that allows agents to handle both real time and digital messaging interaction.
In one intelligent in books and it was a 360 degree view of the customer.
Companies can now run it through digital first omni channel operation.
Other areas of market, leading innovation center on <unk>.
We recently announced a new generation analytics, we see a base anomaly discovery and correction leveraging <unk> based on supervised machine learning. These capabilities provide organizations with cross channel insights on service anomalies and surfaces area they'll customers pain points.
Also as part of our total must spend NASA climb management portfolio. We recently introduced so they ex the industry first aid powered.
Alternating through a holistic trade related surveillance solution that detects all four of the risky behave or to ensure compliance with key global regulations.
Further indication of our leadership.
Can be seen by the large an increasing number of global partners that are asking to join nice partner network.
He is being driven by their desire to sell in support the market leading cloud Datsun six one these partners migrant away from outdated on premise legacy vendors.
Last quarter I mentioned the Newport.
That does a global leader in digital transformation over 100 than 10000th employees in 73 countries.
I have to have made six wanted preferred solution for contact center, the service and he's bringing six one to the company's customer base of hundreds of thousands of contact center agents across the globe as well as to new customers.
The partnership with Atlas is gaining traction piping is going stuff and we're expecting to close our initial deals we that off into fourth quarter of 20 linking.
John This past quarter, we announced the addition of multiple new partnerships in edge of Pacific in Europe , which would bring six one to contact center customers throughout these regions.
These new partners and go to market operation services team across the Americas EMEA in April .
For example, fall out of the five largest partners in Australia are using six one is the primary go to market seacoast admission.
In fact, we just recently signed a partnership agreement with NTT, Australia, very large global service organization, which we'd be sending our solutions.
These agreements opens up brand new market opportunities for nice.
And I talked you might excites marketplace, which was launched this year continues to gain momentum is nearly 40 partners have already joint.
You can meet these already generating significant traction with customers and prospects.
No. That's we have jumped to discuss the drivers of our strengthening leadership, let me provide some examples of Q3 deals any flexing that though of duct leadership.
In Q3, we continued to sign large enterprises deal for six one.
Once its deal well the seven digit ATP deal with a loud and when known automakers Finance Division, which was well into the eight did you on a D.C.V. basis.
Were selected for the June because we're the only vendor that could offer broad portfolio on a single unified cloud Datsun.

There are also said both seven digit do indeed, Buck region, including allows telecom company for RPK in which we want the dean of other well known RP vendors.

Okay. We already have shown questions I'm done in the first one is coming from that I know show <unk> from open Jaime.
Please proceed your line is open.
Thank you Hey, guys. Good afternoon. Congrats on the ongoing performance then execution one for Barack one for Iran, but.
Barack so the fix one platform continues to resonate well within the overall market environment as as we were seeing that from resolves and that's what we're hearing that from your optic fed remarks. He will also appeared that it's it's driven by behind enterprises adoption, which appears to be at at a rapid.
Hey, I know you mentioned the Apple so doing your prepared remarks, but can you talk to us a little bit of what appears to be that's that's driving this accelerating trend and maybe up in association with that in association with other you seem to any pull long cycle because it would appear at you were seeing non-GAAP .
Spec.
Sure and the there was a vision is correct and you can hurt it you can hear it from a the different many deals that I've mentioned on the on the call today, we definitely see up the ups and the upper side of the market the enterprise side of the market adopting.
Six won in the rapid pace just to provide some clarity our definitional all threshold for enterprises is 700 and 750 seats in Iraq.
We see traction in all market segment that but that's our definition for enterprise I know that other SMB Blair thus far in it that much lower.
And this is always see a lot of traction these days.
I think that the reason is a few a few fold first of all.
The pace of innovation that they see on a platform like six won a native cloud gloves phone versus what they see I'm on the their on premise that provider and the fact that the innovation there either stop or slow down quite a dramatically.
I was thinking they called the completeness of the offering that we have and it goes also to the other things I've mentioned about the a document right.
We see very high documents right customers in that segment in all segments, but for sure. The enterprise segments that are selecting to go day, one no just with routing we'll know Justin doubling full but the all of it together routing doubling for analytics and other capabilities altogether. So we see.
Increasing the number of deals the deal sizes and of course with the attachment rate.
Awesome Awesome, one one for Ron So what matters like now integrated Oh for about 18 months, how would you characterize their satisfaction level from from that specific transaction you know what do we want to know nice for many years, you've done enough standing job.
Not as it relates to your M&A strategy.
You know you've got so how to pick up I don't know the right candidate to integrate how would you characterize now decided in that respect to Rob.
[noise], social or if you recall when we acquired Mattersight.
The main reason.
Reason and motivation behind that acquisition.
Was to create a.
A differentiated offering.
For the next one.
And as you said it does mean a integrated and.
We see that it's creating a new category and the world of Oh.
Oh routing or something that a it's amazing that was that has not happened before AI driven routing and the ability to match.
The customer with the right person to handle them.
It is something that.
Seems to have as being a late in the late in the man in the and the market. So when we looked at that positions that are technology driven acquisition like Mattersight, we look at a few things.
Well look at how we achieve our integration goals and the answer is Ah, yes, we look at the impact, but its having in the market in terms of differentiating the product trading.
Hey, creating a budget for the problem. The answer is absolutely, yes, and the third as we look at the the team that found that we acquired and are they still <unk> websites and motivated and the answer is again.
We had very good success, there and of course, we look at the financial metrics. So as I look at all this all these Ah dimensions, we're very happy with the acquisition.
Thank you.
The next question is coming from that I know freesheet, Chile Ria Pease proceed your line is open.
Hi, guys. This is hana on flourishing. This morning, thanks for taking my question.
Just first off it seemed like EMEA revenue growth.
This quarter can you talk about anything you're seeing that's driving that anything in the macro environment you're seeing.
Yeah. We are we always have some fluctuation between the different bridges nothing to read the from that to me I was impacted to a silicon extent also from a changes in a in currency, but we see a regular demands with respect to the Mako and yet and rest of the place.
As we we don't see any difference from what you've seen a two quarters ago why the environment a in all markets continue to be very healthy.
Okay, Great. That's helpful and then Adams partnership on the deals you've signed so far.
You've been able to penetrate in more markets in Europe .
Something that the French providing.
[noise].
Sure as part of our overall strategy about full should be going to national into Europe , and Asia Pacific. The as you can a here in the last few quarters as well as a.
My.
Earlier remarks, we're doing very well, we get all the traction.
We see combination of Ah a few times. So it's a partner doors of partner for many years and the induct markets Weve legacy on premise provider.
And are looking to migrate their customer base and to when I back into markets and understand that you need to do it we think us and after they are doing due diligence a their selecting Uh huh.
And we have a lot of them and if we would like almost standing in line to Seinfeld, No ships move up and we're very happy with that.
And the second thoughts partnerships and those are believed that are they in its an adjacent markets for them and they see the dynamics in this market and they would like to step into this markets and there are also doing their diligence using a the market on the list another and sell it and selecting us.
All of those partners, we've signed in the last few quarters.
He takes time to enable them, but they are putting a lot of investment behind you said enablement and this one indication in the pipeline, it's a very healthy their relationships with thousands of customers are they're very strong customer base.
And we believe.
That's it will have a very positive impact on a win rate and all market coverage moving forward.
Both internationally as well as a in the U.S.
Great. Thank you.
The next question is coming from the nine of them too extreme from RBC capital. Please proceed Sir your line is open.
Yeah, Thanks for taking my questions.
And with the adoption of CX, one by very large enterprises and increased attach of W. AFFO and analytics does that change the way we should think about who is adopting the cloud [laughter]. You know historically here I think I think we've thought that most of the cloud growth was coming from new markets and new customers does that still the case.
Yes from our perspective, it isn't the case I would like to remind you that a with respect to a those two markets that are separate markets I believe for analytics was one market and the adjacent markets was a routing go on each and the routing.
A nice evolved from the W. for analytics space being a leader in that space and barrier to cloud we did not play in the routing business. So for US every customer that adopting routing we have that million for analytics is a is a pure oxide. That's that's why.
So in taking markets in places, where we didn't play before the second thing the value of the customer for us into cloud you significantly higher than in the on premise with respect to the actual buyer. It's always been in steel in the combination of the IP buyer as well as deal.
Asian outside of customer service.
But given the fact that customer service today is much more strategic.
For many a beat to see a companies is one of the b to b, but many beat to see companies.
We get a seats a with a lot of sea level. These days and this a domain is getting the exposure of sea level seals, another very large enterprises.
Great and then maybe around optimizing other hosting a gauge 2019 next week sounds like a good dedicated event for for financial crime and compliance professionals anything we should be watching for out of the event [laughter] and then maybe along with that on Xsight seems like there's been a number of.
Announcements around the exercise marketplace recently, maybe highlight some traction with that ecosystem. Thanks.
Sure. So first of all are very excited towards the event next week. This is the first time, we're actually combining once we had a decline for him and the user conference together all.
Hi, National Kannan compliance, we had a record the tendency and the digitization of the just duration that they believe will lead to I called it a tendency, it's becoming a very big event.
That groups.
All the professional many of the professionals in in this market and becoming one of the largest events or in that industry I will have to wait for a Monday I guess before we announce some product Ah things. Another note, though not to steal the thunder from the team so stay tuned for Ah Ah.
Different offering and portfolio announcement in thousands ship that they believe will come from a a these events, but you will hear all about them next week, but we definitely going back to Q3.
Okay, great traction in few fronts first of all the cloud is picking up very nicely in this this market.
We see a growing number of cloud deal and it pretty rapid pace.
Which is great for us because for a before the cloud we played mainly in the higher end of the market and cloud enable us to cater to meet the market banks, which are still very substantial inside but in terms of valuable customer that opens up a very significant market for us.
And the second thing is the traction that excites.
With its marketplace, a destruction that getting we announced the marketplace of took sites I believe only few months ago, maybe two quarters ago and will already have almost 40 partner, who subscribed to the program and we're starting to see as I said in my earlier remarks are very good traction.
It was customer a they see that they have a platform today that they can choose different vendors.
Different partners and combined them on the one clubs and so we're very excited on all of those from a with Wuxi mine.
Thanks Brock.
Next question is coming from the line of Stan I phone that Bush. Please proceed Sir your line is open.
Yeah. Thanks.
Another great quarter should serve a follow up to the last question I mean, Brock as you're going into sales cycles.
ER things changing with customers and they are you seeing maybe you're going to cloud shift a lot more skepticism having to do demos products, Florida.
No deep dive in now today, it's more of the.
Pull rather than of course in terms of just over the dynamics.
Yeah, I would set up I'd definitely say this evolution happening.
I'll give it like from our perspective, the two phases with the pollution and I'm looking for the of course the next one.
I would say that slipped four years ago, I would say three years ago.
With many customers mainly when you go off market, we still had to educate them about the value of the cloud and why cloud is better than on premise and walked into the cloud and true cloud and native cloud and so on and so forth.
Oh, that's no longer happening customer as enterprises of all sizes.
For all of them I no longer question off if it's a question if when and how do they move a they all want to move to the cloud we all understand the difference between different cloud solutions watching the natively.
Native cloud versus or something that is more hosted on my great goods from an on premise and they seem to value.
The a native cloud so that's something that there's no longer happening, meaning there is no longer will need to sell.
The value Oh, the cloud, but the second thing that we see and I believe it or do you have to work you've done with six one.
In the possibly still used to think about omni turn routing and and other solutions like doubling for than analytics and almost separately to separate purchase cycles and once we see right. Now is the convergence also become almost becoming a the five to stand or is that a customer.
Roche dogs as if I go to the cloud notes Eve women go to the cloud I want omni channel routing a fully integrated seamlessly integrated into dabbling AFFO Enanta ended 2000 and few other thing and that's becoming the new defacto standard. So that's the evolution was saying that buying behavior.
Which of course very positive for all.
Okay, great. Thanks again.
Thank you.
Next question is coming from that I know some odd Savannah from Jefferies. Please proceed your line is open.
Hi, Good morning, Thanks for taking my question next quarter, one if I may.
Follow up for that but right. There's been a lot of a small M&A space in a lot of changes in terms of strategic partnerships with vendors et cetera. So I was just curious how how you think about yeah, the build versus buy versus partner strategies for as far as M&A or ears.
Or technology partnerships go and maybe if there's any evolution in the way that nice is approaching it went all the changes that are happening.
But the rest of the group.
Vicki.
Sure.
So at least from our perspective, we have all of those revenues than we will managing them in a very thoughtful and strategic way, meaning that we both Bob new in many cases when it would think it makes sense.
From time to time, we will acquire and although to own the technology and the assets and of course, we focus the majority or I've for its giving our investment in R&D or inorganic development and that's of course, all prime focus we believe we have great, though why on our organic development.
In regards to those Ah different a different options I would say that given the today, we have a plot phone like a into six one platform and thing goes for excite one of the way to go approaching Ducs is that it's a very open platform.
That is easy to integrate with those partnerships that we've built with the marketplace off a excite and the.
Hi, David the change of Ah of Ah Ah CX long both of them are allowing us to evaluate many of the different clearance louder to Steve, we're doing well and whose integrating well into our platform and some time to time, we might decide that it's better to further into go to them by buying them first.
Just follows you've done a great example of Dodd.
Acquisition to do you have done a three months ago, it's more four months ago. Brenda Embassy we had a many popular with digital engagement capabilities, Oh, So brand embassy and we still do they have something very unique very mature.
And the one that the and can give us a mutual differentiator, hence we decided to go and acquired them and here. We are a few months Nader already with two leases of stick Swan that a further embedded and brand embassy into the platform a interdealer customers well looking to further integrate digital channels with.
And managing them in the unified in books.
South created a major differentiation frosting, six one and I believe more to come with regard to those digital capabilities from Brendan busy.
Yeah.
Very helpful.
Maybe just a follow up for you I know partnerships or something that the company's increasingly dockside in terms of terms you go to market partnerships.
Are there any material differences in the unit economics or the lifetime value of a customer that's required.
What using a partner versus a direct customer acquisition.
Thanks for the other question asked them out and you mentioned in his Brock highlighted a partnership sorry.
Very important for us overall back when you look at the end that unit economics now, there's there's really no I think difference between a that go to market strategy there.
Okay. Thanks for taking my questions.
Our next question is coming from the line afford to Pritchett from Citi. Please proceed Sir your line is open.
Hi, My first question for best just wondering.
So look at the guidance a new you you have the annual guidance out there, which is about a $20 million range. If I looked back over the last couple of years, that's actually a wider range.
And you've left open for the for the fourth quarter in both revenue and he P.S. and your businesses.
No more recurring so you have I think 74% of the business is now.
Maintenance what is there some a any reporting a week later to see up little bit more visibility in the quarter versus last year is there anything that you're kind of embedding into guide with more uncertainty or just trying to get to the bottom or why that range would be would be wider give anymore given more recurring revenue.
Sure. Thanks for the the question Walter I know, there's nothing embedded there we remain highly confident about the full year guidance that we provided we're already with that through half of the fourth quarter and we're confident if you. If you look on a year throughout 2019, we've actually a range.
Guidance on he P.S. throughout the year and Tom in terms of the top line. We just increase the revenue last quarter. So again, we're highly confident on the full year outlook.
Great. Thank you very much.
The next question is coming from then I know Sangita Singh from Morgan Stanley . Please proceed your life into cooling now.
Thank you for taking the questions I congratulate stock club results again this quarter I'm to that end up rock I was wondering if you could give us a sense of the uptake of cloud based W. left so and cloud based analytics versus what you've been seeing maybe a year ago any sort of trends on on them.
Mix of cloud on the W, though and the Oh and the analytic side.
Yeah sure so as I said before we <unk>.
The main changes as we see it moved the documents right, putting together omnichannel routing W. also analytics and few a few other solutions across them or decide to purchase them together in many cases, we placed incumbents and do that type of situation.
We don't see any dramatic change or on the double your for analytics as a stand alone.
Sometime customer decided to go to the cloud sometime not only if they decide to go into the cloud are actually quite happy because in terms of the annual run rate from such a customer is significantly higher.
And then the on premise a paradigm.
Thank you that makes it makes a ton a sense then my follow up question as it was around the RPK you mentioned in your script that you out landed a really nice really nice RP versus some of the some of the I would say, maybe more well known <unk> I'm competitors in the RPH space, how are you thinking about b.
Our p. opportunity going forward do you see our T.A. as a becoming a more material driver of topline growth as as bad as that particular category I'm starts to mature.
So we see the RPK markets into way one is a the fact that they to market by itself nothing is well cover them getting traction and we have a player in this market the will recognize there in this market.
And we see a lot of use cases, where we take the RPH technology and embedded into both up lots on six want an exciting well down a lot of opportunities both within the contact center and email operations for banks to automate them and make them more thanos.
With respect to the market itself I think it's getting to the point that these healthy point to do or it's too soon get to that I called it over the hype point.
What do we hear from customers that they've tried it and then try different technologies are they try the concept of the honest ended the automation, which is basically taking robots.
Within decent used case of and automating very specific very small micro tasks.
But now they understand that the real value is actually was what we believe in which is the attended automation, which is basically a lunch you need to do in order to embed ore bodies capabilities in a workforce environment will you put the men and the machine together in a perfect dual play and that's where we play it's.
Much more sophisticated and so what kind of quite as much moissanite and it requires a lot of domain expertise that the into markets with Blayne. We believe we had been so for us to opportunities and studies in both domains, both within our classic markets, where we can offer it as part of our suite and get much more for the suites and become.
Most of the user and second in other markets.
Yeah, Jason it's all markets very similar buyers, though.
Those buyers to where we play where we sell into as well.
Yeah.
Operator.
Your next question is coming from Tonight in effect for reasons from GMP Securities. Please proceed Sir your line is open now.
Hi, I did this macbook Pat. Thank you so much for taking my question I was wondering as customers transition to the cloud do you also see them a changing their communication service provider.
From legacy solutions to platform and I try to do and bandwidth.
I'm not a I'm not sure to this is something that I on we're familiar with when we sell our six wanting a full or contact center as a service platform in some cases actually we will be the WAM selling some of the company selling some.
Those communication services.
