Operator
(Operator instructions) And first question we will go to line of Brent Thill with Citi. Please go ahead.
Brent Thill – Citigroup
Thanks, Paul, can you just talk a little bit about the enterprise business. You mentioned a slight recovery from Q2, just what you’re seeing in terms of sales cycles and the ability to start to penetrate some of these accounts overseas as well?
Paul Ricci
Well overall I must say that our assessment of the enterprise business remains positive. We think the fundamentals are improving. We think that our on-demand business continues unabated. We’re seeing terrific bookings and a pipeline in our solutions activities led by our Viecore team. The one real area of weakness in our enterprise business are revenues associated with our partners and I think our view about that is that there is no reason to think that’s going to abate soon, but as I mentioned in my formal comments it has become and we’ll continue to become a less and less factor in our revenue stream and that reflects the growing proportion of direct enterprise sales people we have both here and internationally; you referenced international and it is the case at our European and Asian performance over the last couple of quarters, has continued to outpace North America and although we did have in the segments I mentioned just now a better quarter in North America.

Thanks
Operator
And next question from the line of Daniel Ives with FBR. Please go ahead.
Daniel Ives – FBR
Yes, thanks solid quarter, solid guidance first off Jamie it’s been great working with you. I guess on the healthcare side are you seeing specific stuff in regards to deal sized. It seems like deals are getting larger; what is the dynamics around that?
Paul Ricci
Now it’s a little difficult to talk of that deal size, because there are very different elements to the business. The on-demand, the hosted solutions are very large deals. We are targeting the largest hospitals and healthcare networks in the country and the license contracts range from, one to three years and so those are very large deals indeed. On the other hand the on-premise deals for PowerScribe and or other on-premise products are considerably smaller. I don’t think there is a particular pattern in deal size though other than that mix change I just referenced to on hosted that I would call out to you.
