So, Botan, so lovely to see you, my friend. See you. Welcome to offshore Europe 2023. Thank you very much. After four years, yes. Why is offshore Europe an important show for you? And of course, thank you for being in the ICU pavilion. So why, Eric, Pavilion? So offshore Europe, of course is all about energy. And energy is what we focus on as a as a business, getting resilience into energy and getting the technology right for the energy companies around the world. And of course being members of the IC, we couldn't think of you know exhibiting anywhere else but but but your patch. So we're really glad to be here with the with the IC now and we're delighted to have you here. Thank you. Great football today, yes. And obviously you are organization is constantly innovating and launching new products, your latest new product resilience OS. Yes. How's that going? It's going great. We really focus on what are the needs that energy. Companies have to look after their people and their assets and how do they manage the risks that are coming at them, especially the external risks and resilience. OS really takes the focus away from all the fragmentation and all the different systems that these companies have to use, takes that problem and says what do I need to look after my people? How can I manage my risks that are unfolding? How do I manage people on a site all the way across to my global travelers? And then when an incident does occur, how do I have? All the information at my fingertips to either run a response, send a mass notification or perhaps run a full scale incident and all from the same operating system and that's why we believe that the future of resilience is really in a unified operating system. So it's going really well. The reception is being great and we are engaged with the number of global firms to roll out resilience OS of course I. Grade a lot of our existing customers that that have our other other products in mind. Yeah. So Astrata, of course your business, there's always been a technology player. When you look to the future, what technology trends are you seeing in this ever changing transitioning world that we live in? Yeah, yeah. So I mean look five years ago we would have been talking about IoT and cloud and mobility that. And that Everything Everywhere was connected and the processing power was unlimited in the cloud. Looking forward to the next five years. And now clearly AI is the. Is what everybody's focused on and generative AI especially. So I think we're going to see a lot of the tasks that we would take for granted. Sort of we will take for granted in five years being done by AI and and at the moment I think you know there is a, there is a deep need to increase productivity globally if you look at the economic trends and I think AI is really about empowering companies but also people to do more and to do more of the creative work or to do more of the kind of meaningful work that they would have. So I think companies that utilize the technology that's around an AI will inevitably. Replace those that don't. And the same with people. So it's not a matter of AI replacing people's jobs. It's people who are enabled by AI are more likely to replace people who are not. And I think that's the biggest trend. And if you combine AI, which is essentially generative AI, creating things out of out of processing power, and you mix that with cloud and IoT, you've got a really interesting future for the energy business to be able to bring those 3 trends together. And really increase efficiency and better protect their assets, you know, more closely. OK. But it sounds like exciting future for you and rostrata, lovely to see you. I hope to show you as well for you this week. All the best. Thanks to you. Thanks very much.
