There is still a belief that OpenText, of course improving as every other vendor does, could see a little bit more improvement in AI involvement and scenarios. It is good in small scope, but improvement for large scope as well would be valuable. This is something that is missed a little bit. Otherwise, it is evolving quite well and still on top of the market. The most critical part regarding OpenText Information Archive is that OpenText is very strong, but the current packaging is already offering very strong capabilities in the smallest package. Of course, the price corresponds to the capabilities. Some customers would prefer to have fewer capabilities for a more affordable price. This is generally true for every single vendor of this kind. For big customers who have big requirements for the largest enterprises, it is reasonable. However, it really cuts out the companies which are at the edge between medium business and enterprises because those are maybe not looking for so advanced solutions from the functionality perspective.
