I think it is a very good sector that they do business in as it is a way towards digitalisation and can easily save a lot of money for companies. I like how they can acquire a variety of customers because their products are those that most businesses need. There can be a huge oppurtunity for them because of the AI wave and if they can manage to capitalise on this they can easily grow a lot. Their business is one that many companies would just be starting to utilise as they realise the good that technology can do to them.
