to 70% of the Fortune 100, 50% of the Fortune 500. We serve 35 million people. We provide that benefits advantage by providing our clients with healthy and financially secure workforce. The challenges we were facing, we had a monolithic application that was quite difficult to maintain. We had been running efforts to try and upgrade that solution for some time and were really struggling to get that done. We had adopted wholesale platforms in the past and found that they were both difficult to maintain as well as difficult to drive forward. When we looked at our solutions, we really looked at Spring, Spring Boot, and the capabilities to get to something that we could create a very compartmentalized and a very capable environment. For Spring Boot, while it was more compartmentalized and was easier to work with, it still took a considerable amount of time to do those upgrades. When we adopted Application Advisor and began to use that for our upgrades, we really were able to eliminate quite a lot of the application development time necessary to do that work. It allowed us to move that time from working on upgrades to really working with new capabilities that we could adopt for our customers. We've also adopted Tanzu Support, and with that Tanzu Support, it gives us that capability to lengthen the cycles between our upgrade times and give us more time to work on customer features. The Tanzu team has helped us with scaling our environment for serverless components. They've helped us with introduction to the Application Advisor and delivery. They're running bi-weekly sessions for our organization that are open office hours. We also have capabilities around workshops. It's given our developers more confidence with the product. It's also allowed us to do some things that we would have struggled to do on our own. At Alight, we plan on continuing to use Spring to build our most significant products. It's a great solution for us in back-end service development. New capabilities like Spring AI, Spring Data really give us lots of options in delivery of our solutions.
