Thank you to all of our licensed customers. Some of you I have known for 20 years, and some of you I’m
just getting to know over the past couple. Regardless of your history with Rocket, you have told me that you improve
your business each day, each week, each month, each year, by deploying and using our products. And you recognize
how unique Rocket is, in that we continue to maintain and enhance every piece of software that you have licensed
from us over the past 20 years. We have significantly expanded our product portfolio and professional services
capabilities for you over the past few years, and so I want to introduce you to some of the newer products that
