Thank you very much. If you could talk a little bit, Jim about, how you are seeing adoption across verticals and if you are seeing large deal volume in specific verticals or across all of your verticals and, how you see that playing out over time?
Jim Cashman
Okay. Well actually and I apologize because really the list of these, of the accounts I know is probably a little bit longer, but it was actually just to illustrate that specific point. And again, I think that the, first of all you still see this continuing thing across the globe of any things directly related to all forms of energy whether it be conventional, maintenance and expansion of the traditional oil and gas capabilities, but also resurgence and nuclear, but also trying to drive innovation and actually bring the reality of some alternate forms even quicker. So, that is why you will see a bunch of those. And I think, I won’t go through those names again, but those were some of the ones that were in there.
Of course we also talked a little bit about and I think if you read even the business publications, you will see how the new factors of energy are driving things in the automotive and the traditional industry, I mean the whole economic concerns in terms of fuel efficiency for airlines and therefore the impact on airframe, in particular Aeroengine manufacturers is particularly key, but also the amount of innovation going in, I mean, a lot of the legacy concerns that used to drive automotive have shifted over to okay. Now how do we take advantage of these new innovations that are going to be necessary for ongoing survival.
But, I also spoke of some of the things that I think are a ripple effect because, I mentioned a lot of heavy industry companies making the massive machinery and construction equipment and things like that, that we are seeing a lot of infrastructure building around the globe and a lot of attention toward infrastructure renewal even inside US and North America.
And we are seeing that, we are seeing also the general metals, materials and mining sectors, because if you look at the cost of finding, extracting, and refining all of those materials, obviously there is a lot of environmental and energy cost concerns with those.
