Yeah. Thanks so much. Thanks, everyone. So that's perfect, JP. Thanks for taking us through that. That's why kind of we need to take security of all of our systems seriously, a BTP being a new complex system introduces its own complexity, but they want to take a little bit of time again, as I said, to level set on what is BTP. If you've spoken to an SAP rep recently, you know, it is kind of where SAP is going. It's where a lot of their planned innovation and investment is, and it's where they're bringing their customers with them. So you can see it's kind of some ideas there on the screen about kind of what BTP is, kind of why it helps. It provides analytics that helps with application development and integration, and it has a lot of services. It's really a set of services and products that SAP had in disparate ways over time kind of brought in under one umbrella, brought in up and under the BTP umbrella. And then as an organization, as an enterprise, you can pick and choose kind of what elements of this you want to adopt. If we take it a bit deeper, you know, there's some elements there on the screen about kind of what helps with BTP, but really when I was kind of talking to SAP's customers and talking to kind of some peers, you know, there's a lot of elements that really kind of makes BTP exciting for them and something that their enterprise is interested in embracing. So it allows for fast integration because it has these underlying services and products available to it. You know, you spend less time trying to get those up and running and more time building applications and analytics on top of those and building in the integrations between various kind of points of data in order to perform that analytics. We've heard SAP talk about AI and how important that is for them, and so that's a big part of what BTP offers is that kind of a set of intelligent technologies that it sits on top of that you can then pick and choose what you'll bring in. And then I'd say one other piece just to kind of highlight something else would be you can really build in an agile way on top of SAP BTP. So the whole waterfall framework of building big, big kind of applications and reports, et cetera, and then rolling them out. This enables you to kind of build and develop capabilities for your customers, internal or external, in a much more agile way. So you can get a lot more incremental value out of BTP quickly versus kind of delivering value in large buckets, but with a long development time associated with those. So when we look at what BTP looks like, you can kind of see on the left here, you see the end user and they're kind of interacting with BTP through something, so through a browser, through some kind of mobile app, et cetera. And from their perspective, they're interacting really with one thing. But if you look in the center of the screen and you see kind of there's a lot of actually different things that it can be included as part of BTP that when the end user performs their actions, these things kick in in one way or the other in order to provide kind of what's needed for that end user. So you see a lot of different suites across various areas, data and analytics, et cetera, different run times that could be brought in. And if you look all the way to the right, it could even be kind of reaching back into your enterprise network to bring in data from network systems in order for the end user to interact or make changes to those. So at a really high level, the end user experience can be simple. But when you look at the technology associated with it, it's very complex kind of interworking of different technologies.
