And the first got them or goals through digital transformation. We believe we are well positioned with a leading cloud communication solution.

Rick Santorum continues to hold <unk> leadership position among the cloud providers.

We have invested hundreds of millions of dollars and over a decade in an awful lot form establishing a deep mode versus our competitors.

We believe without can see New York Amazement <unk> investments in innovation that gap between ourselves legacy and other cloud provider will only continue the white.

We're pleased with the success with team without platform and we Gotta look for ways to bring our leading solution to broader markets.

Well that no as I mentioned earlier, we recently had two key announcement that significantly expand out GT opportunity.

Earlier. This afternoon, we know that were expanding our relationship with 80 Mg.

Oh no disagreement age you often took huh followed by the central will be a lead you kept solution for agency.

In addition agency and retention will jointly developed global capabilities and technologies that will doors that integrate with 80 inch isn't that work for better overall customer experience.

Which will be the exclusive you've got solution marketed and sold by a bar.

This partnership leverage its respective strengths of each company, a lightning otherwise strong market, Brazil and worldwide go to market get another just weird ringcentral, leading global you've got the platform.

We continue to believe this partnership represents a major opportunity for customers partners and of course Ringcentral anymore.

As a testament to our innovation leadership, we are proud to once again be a recognized as the leader that Gartner magic quadrant for unified Communications as it started worldwide report for 50, <unk>, either ROE Ringcentral what's position.

Or is there for completeness of vision you the leaders quadrant.

Our execution on numerous from its doors are evident by another record quarter for double digit you would sort of all of the Apollo leadership position you that you've got to market and we are excited with the opportunity in front of <unk>.

With the 50 billion dollar market that those ripe for disruption were still in the very early innings, but well just formation.

I've never been more Claire doesn't go out is when you add ringcentral is when you get the ground.

Now for some color I'll Jones to go over towards your operating costs and start David said.

Thank you flat Q3 was a strong quarter again, driven by strength in Midmarket and enterprise markets. We continue to win based on our superior product and GTM capabilities first our unified platform, which integrates voice video on T. messaging with an open platform and strong global footprint is resonating with large enterprise customer.

Yes.

In Q3 over 70% of our million dollar TCV wins cited our open platform as a key differentiator.

Our open platform Eco system now has nearly 3000 certified integrations and over 25000 developers.

Additionally over 50% of these wins cited integrated team messaging as another influencing factor.

Hey, Great example of our global platform driving customer success is our nearly 6000 seat when what's Crawford and company the world's largest publicly listed independent provider of claims management and outsourcing solutions.

Achieving their mission to restart enhanced lives business isn't communities depend on their ability to quickly managed claims intake and their call centers around the world, which can now be managed with Ringcentral Global office solution.

This is also a good example of land and expand as they've added Ringcentral you cast to the initial contact center deployment.

Another great win where a customer is leveraging our unified solution is hot topic.

Fashion apparel and accessories retail chain.

Its customers looking to replace legacy on premise communication systems across its corporate offices distribution centers and over 400 retail stores.

They want it and easy to manage mobile first communications platform that provides an integrated voice see messaging and video capabilities.

With deployment underway hot topic users stated that they are already seen a half level of team collaboration using ringcentral team messaging and meetings.

Another large customer transitioning to Ringcentral staples in Canada Staples wanted to consolidate sprawl multi vendors across more than 300 locations to a scalable cloud based single platform.

Ringcentral ease of deployment administration and analytics were also important differentiators and this over 4500 seat win.

Building on our product platforms strengths were seeing success with our targeted GTM vertical initiatives, driving 1 million plus TCV wins.

The words are showing strong interest in many of our vertically focused app integrations, including smarts, and Jack Henry and financial services and canvas and education.

As Bob mentioned, we saw over 30% of our million dollar T C b wins come from our targeted vertical industries.

In health care, we built a great relationship with Pacific Dental services, one of the country bleeding dental support organizations.

Perfect. That's all first signed on with Ringcentral over two years ago, a sense ramped to approximately 6000 ucas seats with strong adoption across messaging, calling and meetings.

In Q3, the customer adopt and Ringcentral contact center aligning on a single platform for you cast and contact center.

In financial services I already highlighted our Wynnewood Crawford. We're also finding strong traction with credit unions. For example, credit Union won and Illinois based credit Union with over 20 locations will deploy ringcentral for both new Castle and contact center.

We're also continuing to see success in higher education, including win at Queen's University of Charlotte. This wasn't on premise system replacement to help the University me, it's increasingly diverse needs.

Let me now provide a brief update on the success, we are seeing with our customer engagement portfolio.

This consists of Ringcentral contact center use for inbound voice and based on nice and contact.

Engage digital used for digital channels based on our Demelo acquisition last year.

And engage voice used for outbound blended voice and based on our connect first acquisition earlier this year.

The recent example of a Ringcentral contact center win was with a large manufacturer a bio medical testing equipment.

This customer has been rolling out Ringcentral office across its global workforce in Q3, the customer sign for over 500, Ringcentral contact our seats for itself and customer support.

He Q3 win with engaged digital was with Renault group, a major global car manufacturer or an all well use ringcentral engage digital to streamline social channels interaction in the UK, Spain and in France.

We're also pleased to announce a large Q3 win for outbound customer engagement with engage boys, we secure and over 500 see win with immediate credit recovery, a large collections agency engaged voices superior reliability compared to their existing solution was a key factor.

And immediate credit recoveries decision to switch from the prior provider.

These and other wins are testament to ringcentrals customer engagement portfolio, becoming increasingly important as we move up market Ringcentral customers are now able to leverage a single platform for all its internal and external communication needs.

This drives productivity improvements and increases customer satisfaction.

In summary, Q3 was a great quarter, we look forward to driving this positive momentum through the remainder of the year and into 2020 .

Now for the financials I will turn the call over to our Chief financial Officer attached true.

Thanks, Dave and good afternoon, everyone. We're pleased with our results on all key financial metrics.

Total aerostar grew to 881 million up 31% year over year.

And our offerings Central office go to 800 million up 35% year over year.

Key drivers continue to be Midmarket and enterprise with strong contribution from channel partners.

Mid market enterprise. They are our go to 426 million up 61% year over year.

This momentum, it's driven by underlying strength in new logos wherever your we achieved a record number of seven digit DCB deals as rather upsells, which improved sequentially.

These trends resulted in Midmarket and enterprise customers accounting for the highest bookings mix to date.

Higher up marketing mix as a positive indicator of our profitable growth given better lifetime value from lower churn and greater Latam expand potential.

Asked for channel it delivered another solid quarter.

Generally our our came in at 263 million up 63% year over year and also accounted for over 70% off our million dollar TCV wins.

We continue to broaden our network with expanded relationships, but converged one synnex fujitsu and the rest gone.

Which we expect to help fuel future growth.

And upon delivery of a via cloud office by Ringcentral, We will have access to a volumes leading global channel partner network.

Well were all up market and channel led to strong financial performance in the quarter.

But on the top and bottom line.

Total revenue grew 34%.

So 233 million and subscription revenue grew 33% to 211 million.

Subscription non-GAAP gross margin was 82% and non-GAAP operating margin was 9.3%.

non-GAAP EPS of 22 cents was above the high end of our guidance range driven primarily by the revenue upside.

Onto the full year 2019 outlook, we are raising total revenue to be between 888 million and 890 million for an annual growth of 32%.

We are also raising our non-GAAP EPS to 81 cents.

No I would like to discuss our two new strategic partnerships that'd be you expect to be strong additional drivers.

For our long term performance.

Starting with the latest news first.

Which is our expanded relationship with a TNT.

Building on our recent successes together 88 days now, making Ringcentral a lead you got solution.

We're very pleased but this decision and look forward to continued success is together.

They've sites, our COO and Roman base of its chief product officer of 80, I'd business will be speaking tomorrow in Dallas at 80, Indeed annual business summit about this expanded relationship.

We are confident that'd be expanded agreement provided incremental vector to our go to market motion.

As to a buyout this transaction closed last week.

It is a significant new opportunity, which combines the strength of a viad global go to market capabilities, what the Ringcentral, leading ucas technology platform.

We are diligently working toward a product launch in Q1 next year.

We are excited about the Avaya and 80, Andy partnerships and believe both will provide additional do your ability to our long term growth.

Ringcentral is at the forefront of enabling enterprise digital transformation and the communications industry.

Our long term unwavering commitment to investment and innovation, it's clearly paying off.

Longstanding industry leaders vast go to market capabilities.

I'll now selecting ringcentral as a leading you got solution for their customers.

With these tailwinds, we are more confident than ever in our ability to execute on the long term vision of converting on premise business communications to the cloud.

With that let me turn the call it to the operator Renee.

Thank you when I became ducking. Your question answer session. If you like to be placing the question can you. Please press star one of your telephone keypad, a confirmation phone will indicate your line is in the question Q you may prestart shoe, if you'd like to remove your question from the Q.

For participants using speaker equipment, they may be necessary to pick up or handset before pressing star one.

One moment, please probably poll for questions.

First question trace coming from Terry Tillman from Suntrust Robinson Humphrey Your line is not alive.

Correct.

Hey can you hear me.

Yes, yes weekend yep, Okay, well first a the standard a nice job on the quarter.

I want to get that all the way I guess the first question is gonna be either from a flatter Dave in terms of up really framing the growth opportunity around avaya and now incrementally what they TNT you don't get a lot of questions from investors just trying to understand timing of impact and and I guess for bladder. Dave first question is just a related to how impact for material could these.

Developments be as we move into 2020, and then I had a follow up for Matusz. Thank you.

[noise] well on a bus abide on agency, we cities as opportunities to moved up a large on prem.

Installed base into the cloud or a by as we're launching products and Q1 and where they tend to be seen us as a significant expansion in the footprint that they're offering where.

We.

I'd be placed an elite offer a which is change from where we've done in the past that's more of a level playing field plus.

It's driven off the success, we've had since the relaunch and I think a testament to our ability to continue to deliver a rapid level of innovation and customer satisfaction.

The high level of security that's required for that account.

[noise], Okay, I guess, just a follow up question, though matusz as it relates to this ongoing kind of balancing act of investing for growth versus showing some operating leverage you'll just maybe give us an update as we're starting to look into next year.

In anything changing in terms of how you all think about weighing those two factors, particularly with some of the opportunities with these new areas, where you might need to invest some but just balancing this growth versus showing leverage. Thank you.

Sure Terry Oh look we as Dave said, we are very optimistic about boat or via an ATM tea and about <unk> is he always going to launch and so we will convert into flavors topline first and then bottom line, giving some visibility into 2020 .

So the.

If he always gonna launch in Q1 off next year and if you look at Delaware GTM is going to ramp after that and given the recurring revenue nature of the business model, we expect a contribution in earnest towards the end up 2020.

Many of you have written about this the impact off you know towards that and then 2021 and beyond and we'll give more specific guidance.

Next quarter, but thinking off more tactically only went up the ER and your models you have to be careful about seasonality going from Q4. Two next Q1, so that's more on the on the topline.

In terms of margin I look if you look at the unit economics, we're seeing Saturday unit economics across all three pillars of our SaaS model beat the cost to book be churn beat Upsells and so when you have a phenomena like dad, along with a land got opportunity as you mentioned tell you but.

Via an ATM D. The biased will be toward reinvesting some of that grow to dollars into R&D innovation and go to market plus we'll have to make investments into of I ought to make it successful.

But you know sticking with our profitable growth philosophy, or we will expand operating margin consistent with this year by about 50 basis points. So again and one on I know tactic of note in the model be mindful of the seasonality from Q4 to Q1, because there are some payroll taxes reset and whatnot.

In Q1, so would that you know overall you know more of the same more profitable growth laws. So you're missing the grow taught dollars to fuel future.

Future go to make a lie and it didn't even more successful.

Thank you.

Thank you. My next question today is coming from Nikolai Beloff from Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Your line is now live.

Hi, Thanks for taking my questions and I do my congrats on the quarter, especially the fourth question for you I believe it might be the largest beat you've done in the quarter. Maybe you can affect the drivers that are about the beat I think you'd be but 5% nothing large if you've ever done what mr. <unk>.

Yeah I note that thank you and Nikolai or you can get we can do all get carried away with the largest speech. So thank you for the the complement there but you know this quarter was the we ought to frame the quarter. It was strong across the board.

And I was double click on four or five, especially if it got drivers for the quarter some usual drivers.

Some new drivers that came came up.

The first one is the new logos trend, we didn't have over 30 million dollar deals this quarter and this isn't a typically a seasonally slower quarter. So that was a unusual but to see.

Within the top deals 70% off the top deals where net new logo, so that for the seeds future land and expand that's one.

If you look at the overall Midmarket and enterprise strength the deal sizes didn't get larger there. So that's point number two.

Number three contact center contact center had its best quarter, a the strongest bookings quarter.

It grew triple digits.

And second was a record pull through for us.

And fourth is with the channels. That's a that's been a consistent driver for US 70% off of 1 million dollar deals came from the channel.

And the last one is a linear Saturday, we saw it faster start to the quarter in Q3. So you know leading to more revenue dollar. So you know all all these four or five vectors did contribute to the upside.

If you look into business model me here Nikolai as you've you've written about this we have multiple vectors of growth at any given point in time.

And not every vector needs to work every time for us to put up good numbers. This time a lot of them work, so and we feel excited about relating on new laser drivers like <unk>, which will enhance the future long term you durability for this to offer the story.

Thank you meant that then and the question for for a lot. So well I'm just wondering about your opinion on them phone I spent some time looking at going forward do the conference a few weeks the golf ball it looks pretty good and that's what did you want me to Gonna have international apprise not seen a year. So from now and it's a much lower price point than you guys.

If you if they become a drop during the site like set up during your cat I'll be your defense you know your business model and Gulf markets, but I did you guys don't fall.

Yeah, no look or sort of course, there and you think about doing phone you should probably I assume you know I'm much more desperate them ringcentral, but in general are received as a it first generation product.

It is lacking.

International as you know.

A year from no. Okay, you know, let's see what happens in the or a little zoom itself continues to be a customer you know.

You could you go on international than some other things you know so yeah. We've talked about was it before we'd been added a for a decade plus Uh huh.

Calm discipline conscious of millions of dollars invested.

Have a you know for the white mold with you.

And we think we'll Oh, you know cold our own or will you know, we obviously continue partnering with zoom ones the video side.

And we believe that a weve, probably strongly compared to a different differentiated product.

On a you know what was the voice side as well so.

What else can say it is a very large market to state the obvious and are probably more room onto the sum for a more than one product well really tough competition in this space as you know we've been holding our own against opinion open position and here, we intend to do the same.

Got it thank you.

Thank you. My next question today is coming from Sterling Auty from Jpmorgan. Your line is my life [laughter].

Yeah. Thanks, Hi, guys. So on the ATM see front.

Can you just tell who was the lead you can't solution that you're now replacing and is there any parts, so 80, and see where you're not going to be kind of the preferred offering.

[noise], we're becoming a lead off for a cross many verticals and sell segments there the bulk of the business.

And they've had other solutions in the past and they're really focusing on office I am at this point or two to the cloud nature and the rapid innovation.

So it's it's definitely an expansion in the footprint that is being offered at 18 tea and they've been good partners throughout and I think it really shows on how we've been able to work with them and our go to market relationships and our technology relationships as we continue to invest.

And greater integrations into their network and into their processes and systems.

All right Great and then one follow up a touch for you you know when I look at the fourth quarter EPS guidance. The you know the one thing that immediately comes to mind is there probably needs to be somewhat by a deal related costs not just for the deal, but you know to.

Repair you for first quarter launch is there anyway to quantify that or think about it because I imagine if you buy a deal had not been struck that maybe dps guidance would have been even higher.

Ah yes, it would have been higher and we have subsuming that eat a investments for a viable in that it's hard to quantify starting exactly so so precisely but it's fair to say that our EPS guide despite how strong it as would have been higher how did not been from for the ally investments and also as I said I was mentioning too.

Your next question earlier, even in 2020 , we will stick with our profitably growing philosophy and expansion consistent but this year, a 50 basis points and we will subsume aleph up Elias investments given that it's a economically very favorable to our unit economics.

That makes sense. Thank you.

Thank you certainly.

Thank you. My next question is coming from Brian Peterson from Raymond James Your line is allies.

Hi, gentlemen, and congrats on the quarter. So wanted to hit on the new business execution, which has been impressive I'm just curious any change in sales cycles. How that's trended AMETEK anything you can share on the sales and working marketing efficiencies this quarter.

I'll just take the first part of that sale cycles have been consistent throughout and we continue to see more opportunities I think that's what's driving the business forward well, let me touch sensor suffer.

[laughter], especially around sales a efficiency.

That's right Yep Yep on sales and marketing efficiencies. If you look at our numbers the sales and marketing efficiency is getting slightly better despite the year over year or despite our move up market, whereas sales cycles are typically longer and this is up.

Impacted by.

Two to three trends the first one being the overall ramp up the segment as segments mature there those productivity gains to be had so that's one second is up.

Well, we are seeing some oh higher productivity.

The high end enterprise segment from our reps ramped reps, which is where again, it's a longer sales cycles will be up but we're seeing some efficiency gains there given that we have more products to sell like contact center and we have developed a brand recognition, especially in the vertical markets like retail in financials.

So that helps and the third one which is a which is a hidden gems sort of speak is 80, Indeed 80 M.D. much like a lie ahead to lower cost to book upfront, which helps our sales and marketing efficiency and it's if you. If you put all these three trends together it helps us up save more profit daughters.

To fuel for future growth.

Got it thanks for cash maybe one follow up for you or your deferred revenue has some variability in the payment terms, but can you help us understand.

How you look at or PEO as a measure of tracking your business fundamentals in how that struck this quarter. Thanks guys.

Yeah sure Brian Yes, deferred revenue does have variability as it gets impacted by a payment terms for sure and that has an impact of moving deferred revenues up you know quarter to quarter.

We give customers a choice to take monthly or annual payments most of the customers choose monthly payments for us.

So, but if you look at our overall the customer profile more customers, our uptick I'm, hoping for multiyear contracts. So if you look at E.R.R. and our appeal. The music. So six metric that does eliminate some of this volatility and does give a glimpse into the future results of the company or the our appeal.

Backlog grew about 50% for us so it's a very healthy backlog and that should provide some visibility into the future.

Thank you. My next question is coming from Heather Bellini from Goldman Sachs. Your line is not alive.

Yeah. Thanks. This is mark grant on for Heather.

Oh, My Gosh, maybe just talk a little bit about that you can unit economics in terms of these partnerships you mentioned that the cost to book upfront is lower through through 18 pay and presumably through enough I as well, but can you talk about the kind of.

The margin impact over the lifetime of a customer is that going to be similar to what you typically see on your on platform or is there an advantage to you in bringing those customers directly through Ringcentral overtime and then just a quick one on on competition, particularly in the enterprise and the seven figure deals any change.

You are seeing in those bake offs or any key factors and why those enterprise customers are choosing ringcentral over others. Thanks.

Yeah, I think the first part out like let Dave answer the second one in competition in terms of the unit economics Mark.

No not only is the upfront cost to book lower the overall long term margin profile is also higher because of the lower cost to book one and second is even up as you have these partnerships like it TNT Allied channel partners. The churn profile is better because the channel partners get get paid on a residual bases to hang on to the.

Customers. So if you look at lifetime value Oh lifetime margin. The profit dollars I also higher for these partnerships. So it sort of a win win for US do have a two pronged approach would direct and indirect side I think it deal alert do have answered the competition and I think the question was why our animal price customers.

A lot in us and the you know it goes across the platform capabilities, we mentioned that in our large million dollar TCV deals are more than 70% more choosing us for the open platform capabilities I know there Additionally over 50% for message.

I mean, obviously, our global capabilities, Oh, Yeah, Hey.

Multinational corporation unparalleled ability to bring all their customers onto one platform and our contact center capabilities continue to see very strong attach rate, especially across our our large deals. So enterprises are choosing us really across.

All those capabilities and we see strong traction that's from an intent to buy as well as a usage in those accounts [noise].

Thank you that's very helpful.

Thank you. My next question is coming from George Sutton from Craig Hallum. Your line is allies.

Thank you I think last quarter I congratulate you on your Q3 results today I'd like to congratulate you on your Q4 results as a forward thinking analysts so.

I wanted to ask you about the overwhelmingly positive feedback that you've gotten from the channel relative to the Avaya move can you just give us more granularity as to what you're hearing from the channel.

[noise]. The channel is excited about the new product and capability that we're enabling a viable with with a CEO that allows some advantages of I phones and migration of customers and taps into a much larger.

Opportunity overall of bringing that large installed base, that's still legacy into the cloud. We see this is another factor or that the channel can utilize to help make that migration weather.

Through the AC out product or through our COO directly.

As a follow up relative to the ATM T. The lead opportunity could you talk about what percentage of the lead you might have been seen before and what percentage you might see today, just trying to understand the.

The incremental benefit.

Oh.

I don't.

Want to find exactly but do you see this as a significant expansion in I count with the ability to work across broadly at all there.

Core sell segments and vertical.

And with 18.

Okay. Thanks, guys.

Thank you. Our next question is coming from some odd somebody enough from Jefferies. Your line is alive.

Hi, good afternoon, and thanks for taking my questions or maybe first yeah ringcentral in the past few quarters, just talked a lot about notable wins on the international side and that seems to be really picking up can you give us some more color on the international performance in Threeq, you and maybe how we should think about international going forward, but on a standalone basis and now work.

One of the by as well and apps follow up.

International No. It's a some odd hey, it's meant there. So lets international is a is oh, it's sector. We are oh lever, we keep on investing it's now close to 10% of our <unk> and it's growing at a very healthy clip.

We did see in our million dollar deals as well be saw a good amount of international contribution.

And ER do other things that are helping as one is demelo is actually helping opening new doors alongside <unk> contact centers, we did see a win but oh no a renowned car manufacturer, which is now it's starting to standardize on de Mello all its social media profiles in multiple countries. So that that's the trend is.

Starting to pick up.

And we are seeing this traction we are seating future growth at more more reps internationally, which will take time do you don't go some trees. There metaphorically, but we are seat exceeding grow there are so overall I think it's a it's a very important emerging vector and if you sort of layer on a lie on top of that.

Right, but it's complementary international footprint I think it could be a a future or does it for us.

Great and AMETEK you'd mentioned.

It did linearity in Threeq, you and how that that drove revenue earlier and I just because we've gotten a question from investors I just wanted to get some clarification on the Fourq you guide because it's plus 3% a quarter over quarter you guys got stronger Fourq you uplifts, usually so did that threeq linear you maybe a impact some of that.

The seasonality into into Fourq you in changing some of the revenue sees that seasonality in the guidance. Thanks for the clarification.

Sure No I think no change at some odd the Threeq you was not at the expense of four Q I think we feel very good about fourq you heading into the quarter and I think we feel very good about the guidance we've given.

Great Thanks, and congrats on a great quarter.

Thank you.

Thank you. My next question is coming from non dollar Maldi from Guggenheim Partners. Your line is now live.

Oh good afternoon, not thanks for taking my question. She talked about 37 digit TCV deals are over a third and targeted verticals, where I think you also mentioned much that 70% of them or new logos can you talk about the land and expand strategy as it relates to these large deals so what does that.

Typical mix, you're seeing a with new logos versus upside, it's up particularly in a seven figure segment.

Yeah sure in London, So it doesn't.

New bookings from existing customers are Upsells, a war consistently about 40% even this quarter and we saw actually saw an uptick sequentially, So which was a positive trend and there are two friends that are impacting this one is we are seeing not only upsells from seats, but you're also seeing.

Well it sounds from products. So you know Dave in his prepared remarks gave an example of Pacific Dental aware a you know it's is actually believe it or not a fit the 51 million dollar deal for Pacific Dental and we'd started hasn't dental offices detrimental corporate headquarters and now contact center. So this that's the power off your land and expand.

Because we typically don't go wall to wall when they go and so it does help for future visibility.

That's one trend and second is we're seeing a cross sell oh from both sides, what I mean, they're both sides is a customer's landing in the UK and then going to contact center, which is a youre Pacific Dental example, but we also saw customers like a Crawford this time, which.

Started in the contact center space, and then sort of reverse cross sold if that's a word like one of US Cross sold in a you see so those are the two trends are helping but as you hit on the precursor to London. In your question. There's a precursor to all of this is new logos strength and 70% off our <unk> million dollar deals where new logos, our net new logos.

What you'd actually lead or help a future expansion.

As we go though.

Yeah, but in the context of third quarter being a a slower quarter for you a wouldn't that 70% in new logo mix.

You know how does that relate to past history and your expectations for the future.

Yeah, I know you know in the it's been it's been trending pretty high around that same 70, 75% range. So I always every quarter I tried to temper expectations, saying, Hey, guys don't don't think every quarter is gonna be like this but you know we were we did see seasonally.

Seasonal strength in Q3, even though it's typically slower so if it was very consistent with previous quarters.

Thank you.

Thank you Donna.

Thank you. Our next question is coming from May to Marshall from Morgan Stanley . Your line is alive.

Great. Thanks, guys. Since you mentioned traction with ATM T. I just wanted to get a sense of how are you seeing enterprise customers are SMB customers or just kind of what the overall customer makeup has been there and then second it would just on maybe.

By a partner to were already selling ringcentral, just any feedback you've gotten from them and whether they would.

Continue to kind of celebrating central or wait for the STL product.

That's kind of one to two corridor time period, where you see it wasn't out thanks.

[noise], a young 18 T. I know historically, we've seen a pretty comfortable max or customer size to ours and since the relaunch maybe a bit smaller just because sell cycles, you know our take awhile to mature.

With this expansion I think it will provide a great launching board to see that equalize again, where their customer size should equal our customer size over time.

And the second part of your question was by Uh Huh.

She received on that channel partners that are already overlapping I'm, sorry, if I have partners that already sold ringcentral.

Uh huh, so they'll be able to sell both products, both our CEO and a C O going forward not one you know at representing a buyer in the IPO and representing Ringcentral and our CEO .

[laughter].

Thank you. My next question is coming from Willpower from Robert W. Baird. Your line is not alive.

Great. Okay. Thanks, Yeah, congratulations on the ATM, TX expansion I guess, maybe just a quick follow.

Follow up there I guess.

David you'd think about the enterprise opportunity at 18 T. I think its story Cooley They had a big focused on hosted solutions converted their own data centers using Cisco.

Are you sensing you know a shift where you spend you know.

Well it might have been those historical deployments that they maybe are more open to cloud solutions and using you all but instead of a kind of osisko hybrid solution. They might use in the past make could that be part of the bigger opportunity here moving forward.

Yeah, and they may sell other solutions, even today, but the I do think that change is there is a certain level of rapid innovation that you've gotten in a cloud solution and weve been able to meld that with meeting very high security requirements.

For them and I think those advantages you see as well as the open platform capabilities that are so critical for enterprise customers are key aspects and features that they.

They want to bring to their customers and why they are moving in that direction.

Okay and are there any marketing costs or other investments required from you all that to help get that opened ROI in a bigger way.

[laughter]. So I mean, the nice thing is already a current account. So we already have a team dedicated there will be an expansion of that team but I.

I think it's incremental in size with the incremental opportunity. It's all contemplated in the guidance given.

Right. Okay. Thank you.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, the interests of time, we ask you. Please ask one question from this point forward. Our next question is coming from Bob I'm, sorry from William Blair. Your line is now lives.

So I guess, so oh choose my a international partnerships question here would love to get some color you've talked a lot about H.M.T. about a buyer would love to get some or some color on the Westcon partnership pellets rolling out in the UK you any details you can provide there and houses most in the UK representative of your overall strategy for expanding or.

Globally and domestically.

Thank you. My next question is coming from Brian Schwartz from Oppenheimer. Your line is not life, Yeah, Hi, Thanks for taking my question either from attach or Dave about the I'm the strength in the contact center business. Some of the corridor. Just wondering if more of that strain is being driven by the volume of deals that you guys are doing in the corridor.

Or if it's being driven more by the size of the deals that you're closing thanks.

[noise] spin a it's been driven both you know the sizes you got into larger customers, there's a greater propensity to have needs for Bose. So we see see strong strength. There. There's also just a greater familiarity with our own cells team and selling those products.

And a longer relationship with customers as we see those cross product sells like we saw Pacific dental moving from our traditional products into contact center. So I think we're seeing it from multiple factors in the market today.

Thank you. My next question is coming from Mike Latimore from Northland Capital markets. Your line is now live.

Yeah, just touching on the customer engagement quickly again.

Its it or the bookings in that category, you know over 10 or over 20% 30 total bookings at this point you have any color on through the magnitude of bookings you're seeing across your sort of engagement portfolio.

Engagement as in a the de Mello portfolio.

Thank you. Our next question is coming from Matt Vanvliet from Stifel. Your line is not life.

Thanks for taking my question I guess is you're looking at the the vertical selling strategy is there a higher mix of direct sales involved there or the partners a general partner still intercollegiate Inter group, we are evolving and and I guess as you look forward or are there any other verticals right now.

Everybody identified that that maybe you're going to use the same strategy to build out given the recent success.

[noise] odd so the vertical selling tried to utilizes a channel also some more to the rest of the business. So we do see channel partners, Plano and important role and driving that business we.

Have you know.

Dedicated resource and against healthcare financial services and slide we continue to grow that right now those are our core verticals, we're targeting with those dedicate resources. We obviously are also very successful and others like technology and retail or are there other examples but.

For now we'll continue along the path growing those current teams.
