TOM RODERICK: Great. Hi, Kelly. Hey Eric, Rowan, congratulations on the deal. You know, it wasn’t so long ago that, you know, we would all get on video calls and that there would be disruptions and lagging. And, Eric, it’s a great testament to what you’ve built at Zoom that we can all expect this, you know, great quality experience with great uptime, and we can hear each other, and there’s not the lag factor.
And I think, you know, inherently in that architectural choice you made way back when starting the company, the 13 data centers, the architecture, the mesh distribution of the way you built the architecture, really in a critical way that you built that, I’d love to hear if there are sort of any inherent advantages to that architectural approach globally to how that can work in a CCaaS world and bringing Five9 in, particularly as you think about distributed agents all over the world.
I know we’re talking about traffic, and that’s not the core of the Five9 story, but still, you know, routing to the most capable agent and, you know, routing the traffic appropriately. Tell us a little bit about how that architectural approach can really derive some benefits as you integrate the Five9 story.
ERIC YUAN: Yeah. And, Tom, that’s a good question. So Rowan, I can start. Feel free to chime in. So, first of all, you look at our back-end infrastructure, right, and not only do we leverage some of the public cloud, but also we built our own flexible, you know, data center, right?
There’s, you know, probably already more than 17, you know, (UNINTEL) already worldwide. We’re also adding more and more and in other countries. But it is, you know, a global distributed architecture, right, to connect all of our users all over the world.
And suddenly we can leverage that, right, you know, for the, you know, Five9 back end. Plus, we also have some of the key software, you know, components, you know, back-end side, like video and some others, you know, phone as well, are very robust components.
For sure, we can integrate it quickly and seamlessly in Five9’s back-end as well. And also Five9 has very flexible, you know, back end intelligence, you know, routing engine, a lot of those things, right? We can, you know, deploy to, you know, our cloud, the infrastructure with that, you know, overnight, right, so we can (UNINTEL) for some, you know, big international customers, right? I think a lot of assets we can leverage from both sides.
ROWAN TROLLOPE: Well said.
MATT CABALLERO: Great.
