Extremely accurate.

A few comments: concern over license/service mix misplaced since that's the historical pattern for hyperion software.

Key factor to keep in mind is that HYSW q1 is typically quite weak compared to q4. Also note that enterprise which represents most of the old HYSW's application license revenue is a maturing product. The appeal is to offer the essbase engine to the Enterprise installed base of 3000 customers. Essbase integrated to support enterprise due to ship this quarter.

If you look closely at license revenue mix I suspect you'd find the following: Essbase and related products are seeing an acceleration in growth rates and enterprise/pillar had a seasonally weak (but typical) q1.

Given the challenges of integrating two companies and the fact that revenue and earnings came in at better than the combination of the estimates for the two companies, the results are a major proof point that the vision behind the merger is starting to make sense.

The opportunities for the synergies to start kicking in begin once integrated products are released later this year.
