A couple questions. 1. Do you have a longer video showing the platform in use? I'm curious about the ease of use. I find that within some organizations adding a new or additional system has a lot of cultural resistance - so I assume to support adoption the simpler the better. 2. Sorry if you answered this elsewhere, but can you speak to the current and planned integrations with various enterprise HR, project management, business process workflow systems? Again with the ease of use, I assume adoption would be increased the more your solution is adjacent to an already adopted system in an organization. 3. I assume your consulting work supports the software platform and your incomes while growing, but will it be a distraction from growth and how do you know when to stop one or the other?

We are in the process of rebuilding our website which with include a short video of use. It takes literally less than 30 seconds to give someone feedback. Since it is built on the principles of aggregate and real-time feedback, it is not necessary (not desirable) to catalogue the last 6 months of feedback. It's as easy as pick, slide, submit. 2. WE can easily integrate with Workday, PeopleSoft, Taleo, Halogen, Cornerstone, Namely, as well as many others. We are integrated with Slack and are developing integrations with G-mail, GCal, and Outlook (give feedback to someone you are trading emails with or just exited a meeting with.) We also plan integrations with Trello, Asana, and other project platforms as you mentioned. 3. The consulting work is not our primary focus. We do not want to build a consulting business. We want to focus on being a software company. We currently provide support for implementation to ensure success with the the platform but our long-term strategy is partnering with consulting firms around the country to be \"certified\" Ohos firms to eventually provide follow on organizational and leadership consulting as well as reselling the platform and handling integration. We currently have two partners int he Denver area and will expand partnerships as we grow. Happy to chat further if you would like to discuss.

The Cabela's test has yielded nearly 80% capture rate at the point of sale and lot of data in a very short time. Employee engagement in the platform hovers in the low 90% range over a 6 month period and a range of 75-200 pieces of employee feedback data per person in the same period.
