"The demand for sales and marketing effectiveness software is expanding rapidly -- we're seeing companies looking at their lead to money process as a key priority. We have added to our existing regional offices with a new office in Japan. Our Commissions, Producer Management and WorkFlow solutions are already available in Japanese and we intend to follow with more of our Lead to Money Cloud later this year. As a result, we'll be increasingly better positioned to support our existing customers and to respond to the large addressable market for cloud-based lead to money solutions in the region. I'm delighted to be hosting our leading customers, partners and prospects from the region at our first C3 customer conference in Japan."
