A framework for deciding whether to build or partner when creating integrated products. Strong integration with existing products and access to employee data are two key advantages, especially for finance products like expense management and corporate cards.
You you.
Have built 24 products. You also integrate with what thousands what's the decision framework that you approach build versus partner with.
So the, the the real thing that I think about is there are these five advanced there are many disadvantages, many hard things about building a compound startup but there are these five advantages that you have and generally speaking you want to build products where those five advantages are maximized and so you know the first one was like Integra so you want to build products where the integration with the other products that you've already built matters. Integration with employee data we look for products where employee data matters and that's not necessarily to say that we build HR products because the thesis of the company is that actually employee data matters in a lot of other areas outside of hr like one of those examples being things like finance products like you know, expense management, bill pay, corporate cards. We're actually an understanding of who your employees are and who should be on what policies and who needs to approve.
