Key Quotes
"In subscription business you have to really closely follow the life cycle of customers. And it's a infinity loop, right? Even existing customers, you may be looking at feature adoptions, you may be looking at churn, you may be looking at how we can create more value, make them aware about new products and offerings coming together. And internally, for the sales department, marketing department, or customer support department, providing the insight, both coming from product. Basically with this cloud architecture we have an ability to look at product telemetry data. As well as business transaction data and intersecting them. The magic is, the real insights are when we intersect these two data, join these two data and do a cohort analysis. Cohort analysis at product level, at segment level, particularly for large enterprise companies our size and bigger, will have a customer segmentation, will also will have some flavor, some in geodes dimensions or other dimensions. Once we connect the data around product and then customer lifecycle from business transactions, it could be slice and dice from many different perspective, and that's where the insights come." - Awinash Sinha
