Emily, do you wanna kick us off? Absolutely. Yeah. Thank you so much. I'm really excited. Such a global audience today. Hello, everyone, and welcome. We are thrilled that you can join us today for our product release webinar. We have a fantastic session planned for you. All the latest updates to pigment in q one twenty twenty six, including the announcement of our twenty twenty five pigment award winners, which is really exciting. Before we dive into all of that, just a little bit of housekeeping. Please use the q and a feature to submit any questions that you have throughout the webinar. We've got Brad from our wonderful professional services team as well as our amazing presenters who are all standing by to answer any questions that you have. The focus for today is on features and products that are live in Pigment, but if you do have any questions about what's on the roadmap, please continue to reach out to your wonderful account teams. We are recording this session, and we will be sending the recording out twenty four hours after this webinar ends. Okay. So my name is Emily, and I'll be one of your hosts today. I'm one of the product marketing managers here at Pigment, and I live and breathe our products. So I'm really excited to share some of these updates with you today. I'll hand over to Isabella. Hi. I'm Isabella Leslie Miller, your customer security manager here at Pugment. My core focus is helping you build connections on our user base and helping you to get the most out of your Pigment journey. I'll be leading our virtual user groups in the second half of our time today. Really happy to have you all here. Thanks so much. So, yeah, like I said, we have a packed agenda for you today focusing on some key areas of enhancement. We're gonna kick things off with a really high level overview of all of the releases from this quarter. We'll show you some of the recent Pigment AI feature releases, and we'll cover a range of releases to our user experience, data visualization, and our core capabilities that you can take advantage of today. Stick around after the demos for the announcement of our twenty twenty five award winners. And finally, we will wrap up with a chance to jump into those smaller focus user groups with our pigment experts. You can answer and ask any questions and network. That's a quick snapshot, but let's get into some of those details. So we've organized this quarter's releases into three themes. So we start with simplifying business planning and reporting with AI. Hopefully, you were able to join last week's deep dive webinar, which was dedicated entirely to the next evolution of Pigment AI. In case you weren't, we showed how the new lineup of agents can help you shift from really manual modeling to intent modelling with the launch of the modeler agent, and the evolution of the analyst agent is now fully conversational and significantly more powerful. If you did miss that webinar or if you'd like to see the demo again, you can check it out on demand by registering, but we have also just dropped a link in the chat. And today, we'll spend a few minutes showing how that analyst agent can reference text type metrics directly in mission instructions as well. We'll also cover some exciting UX and data visualization updates that you can see in bold here, particularly for switching pigment into French and creating more user friendly display names in both English and French. There have also been a lot of releases around our core capabilities. So we'll show you the new keep modifier, and we'll share some new dimensionality hints that give you insight and context into automatic adjustments that pigment will make on your formulas. And we'll showcase some updates to sorting that are pretty handy, as well as demoing the ability to use constant values in list to list imports as well. And then finally, we'll round out the demos with some great just quality of life improvements for our administrators around access rights and the ability to see license types more easily for roles and users, making that governance a little bit easier for you. We've upgraded our APIs for better custom integrations, and we've added support for fabric data warehouse to our Azure SQL connector. And you can also now use import snapshot import snapshot data directly into metrics that share the same dimensions and data types. Finally, we have introduced a consolidated real time view of populated cell volume across all applications. That includes recovered applications and snapshots on the workspace storage page so you can quickly monitor trends and spot any of those unexpected increases that you might be seeing. Now, obviously, we can't cover everything in our demos today. But as always, if you wanna learn more, please check the pigment community site or visit our release notes page for any more details on these exciting features. Now let's meet our lovely speakers for today. Jeff and Maxim are both from our success advisory team here at Pigment. Jeff will take us through leveraging text metrics and analyst agent instructions, dimensionality hints, the exciting UX updates, and how to use list to list imports. And Maxim will show us the newest modifier that allows you to select which dimensions to keep. He'll show the improvements to sorting capabilities and then round out the demos with those access right updates as well. Now without further ado, I will hand over to Jeff to kick us off. Great. Thank you so much for the introduction, Emily. I'm just gonna get my screen shared here. And thank you, everyone, for joining today. We have a a packed agenda with a lot of exciting new releases for this quarter that we want to go through, so I'll jump right into it. I know from this quarter, the the hot topic is really AI and the new releases we have there. So that's where I'm gonna kick us off with being able to reference text in analyst agent instructions. So what does this update really mean? What this means is we're now able to reference those text metrics directly in the analyst agent instructions. And this is really useful because it allows us to bring more of a qualitative context into the analysis now. So instead of just getting a number based explanation, we can now enrich the output with commentary, business context, or any notes that really help explain what's actually happening in the business. So I'm gonna toggle over to my application now to show you what that actually looks like. If I come in, I'm gonna show you the agent missions that we have on the screen here. You can see we have two different missions, one with no tax metric and another with a tax metric. I'm gonna start at the bottom with no tax metric and show you the instructions that we currently have in place here. So quite simple, we're asking for an analysis of our revenue for the current month on our actuals versus our budget versions. We want a simple executive summary, highlight the three top products contributing to the variance, and then just provide brief recommendations and conclusions. So if I pop back here and open the output, let's see what it looks like. Basically, exactly what we expected, a brief overview at the top of our executive summary giving us an overview of the variances that we're seeing. And then just down below, we can see our top three products contributing to that variance. So if I look at OmniLink as an example, just as expected, we have our actual numbers versus our budget numbers and then the variance number and more of that kind of, as I mentioned, number based explanation. So we're seeing that 41% of this is contributing to the total absolute variance. This is great, but like we said, we know there's a bit more to the story here, and we're gonna use a text metric now to show you how we can bring that into this analysis. So if I back up, I'm gonna go back to the missions that I have, and now I'll show you quickly the instructions for the text metric. Everything within the instructions here are gonna be the exact same as we previously saw, except in step three. I just asked the analyst agent to please enrich the analysis of the products contributing to that variance using the narrative context from this text metric being our revenue variance commentary. And, essentially, on there, this is where we're able to go in, write any business context or commentary towards these variances. So let's back out one last time, and let's go to the output for that text metric. We can see the design is gonna be the same as our previous agent mission. But now if we zoom in again on OmniLink, we now have that number based explanation we saw previously, but there's also more of a story behind the analysis now. So if I look into this, we can see that that variance, it's driven by the strong conversion from the q one demand gen campaign campaign as January and February matured late in the quarter. So it's really now instead of just getting simply a numeric explanation, we're bringing the whole story together and getting the full analysis. So a very powerful release we're seeing from this quarter. Okay. And now I'm gonna move into the second demo here. This is gonna be on the dimensionality hints that we have. So if I come to the screen here, you can see that I've created three simple metrics to explain how this release is gonna work. But just to give you a quick overview first, this, this update is really here to help explain what Pigment's doing automatically within formulas. So whenever we have a dimensional mismatch or adjustment that's happening behind the scenes, pigment now is giving us a hint directly in the formula bar so we can better understand how the results are actually being calculated. Coming back to my screen, I'm gonna start with the first metric at the top here. You can see we have a very simple metric where we're just pulling in our revenue monthly target, which is dimensioned by country, month, and product. We want this within our target structure here to be dimension by country, product, and year. So I simply just wrote a buy some formula to change month to year. Now you can see in the corner here, we have this light bulb. This is our dimensionality hit. If I click on this, it's gonna be telling us what the formula is doing. So the dimension changes with the by modifier. As expected, we removed the month dimension, and we added the year dimension giving us the output being country product year exactly how we expected. So we can tell just from this dimensionality hint that our formula is giving us the output as we would expect. Now let's take this one step further. I'm gonna go to my next metric. We can see it looks the exact same as the initial metric I showed. I just took out the sum aggregator from formula. So let's look at that dimensionality hint. If I click that open, we're gonna see the exact same result, except you can see that they added in that the sum aggregator has been added by default. So this really if we're leaving more of those aggregators or allocators open ended, now we can come in here, and we can see what the system's doing in the background. Finally, I did once again replicate this, but with no buy modifier. So if we look at this, we can see the dimensionality hint, but what also sticks out is this yellow formula warning. This is telling us that an automatic adjustment was made in the background, and it's telling us that they removed month, and they added the year dimension. We do wanna be conscious when we see this come up because if we look at the data, we can see that this is incorrect. When it removed the month dimension, it summed everything together, and then it allocated that value constantly across each one of the years. So it just outlines, one, not to ignore these warnings we see, to reference our dimensionality hints, and, of course, always just to follow best practice and wherever possible to explicitly write out our formulas as well as we can so we don't have to rely on what the system is doing automatically in the background. Okay. Now I'm gonna switch gears from more from formula writing into list to list imports. So the next feature I'll be demoing is adding constant values in list to list imports. So this enhancement, it really allows us now to add constant values directly during a list to list import. So that means we can enrich the incoming data with fixed values during setup instead of having to handle that afterwards. So this really makes that import flow a lot cleaner than before. Let's look at this in action now. So what I'm showing on my screen is gonna be the source list. This is where we just have a list of GL transactions by a lot of different GL accounts. For this demo, what I wanna do is take this list, filter it for just our revenue accounts, and then I wanna add two constant values onto this list. I wanna add constant text being the account type revenue, and I wanna add a constant integer being account operator minus one. So let's take a look how to do this. If I come to our target list, up at the top, I'm just gonna click import data. We can see pigment list as our option for our list to list imports. And now I'm just gonna come. I'm gonna select that source list we were looking at and set up the import. We can see all of the data on our screen here. So first step, I'm just gonna add a couple filters to the GL account number just to make sure we're filtering out our revenue account as we mentioned. So I'm gonna say if it's greater or equal to 40,000 or less than 50,000 since our revenue accounts will be our 40,000 series accounts. We can see we updated, and now we have the revenue accounts that we want on the screen here. So let's enrich the data next. I'm gonna add a couple constant values. First, I'm gonna write account account type and revenue for our constant text, and then I'm gonna write account operator and integer with a minus one for our constant integer, and now we can map data. Looking at the screen now, we can see we have all of our target properties on the right hand side, and we have to map our source properties on the left hand side. I'm gonna click autofill the source fields to make our lives a bit easier here and everything mapped except for those two constant values that we just created. So we're just gonna come in and simply tag those to each of our properties, and then we can import the data. Now that it's imported, we can see that we have six records that came in successfully. So if I exit out of here, we can see we have those six revenue transactions, but now we also have revenue as our constant text and minus one as our constant operator tagged to each one of these. So as you can see, it just makes the process a lot cleaner and takes away that manual interpretation of adding in these properties manually once the data is loaded in. Okay. So now I'm gonna switch to my final demo, which I have two features in this demo that interact with one another. So first is gonna be the display names. And with the display names, what this change gives us is more control over our naming conventions, which allows us to now set custom display names for blocks and also provide French translations for them. So this means we can make technical model elements much more business friendly for our end users while also supporting users in the language that they've selected. So looking at my screen here, what we can see as an example, I'll make this a bit bigger, is what we probably see in a lot of our different applications, more technical naming conventions for the metrics or any blocks that we have. And this is great for our technical users or our modelers, but a lot of our times, our business users aren't as privy to these naming conventions. So if I come into this metric now and I go to settings, we can see we have a display name section on the screen where we can write a display name in English and a display name in French. So what I'm gonna do is just write revenue metric for our English display name and then the same for French revenue metric, but in French, and I will save this. Now if I back out, we can see on the user interface, we have revenue metric presenting instead of the technical name. If I hover over the metric, we can see that as well here now too. And finally, if I go to one of my boards, and let's say if I came in here, I edited it, I added a grid, and I just went to search. I can use that display name to search for the metric now. I can add this to the board, and you can see this is automatically going to make the naming convention for our end users, that display name instead of the technical name. So very nice feature, and it makes it very, readable for our end users. Now you might have seen also that I mentioned the French display name. So the second and last feature that I'm gonna be demoing is a language accessibility update in Pigment where we're now available to access the system in French. So users can change their language in My Profile, and the platform system driven interface elements are now gonna display in French. So this really makes that experience, like I mentioned, more user friendly for those French speaking teams. I'll show you how to do that quickly. If I come to more options and I go to settings, I'm just gonna scroll down to my profile, and we can see the language block, which is currently set to English. I'm gonna quickly toggle that to French, and you can see I'm gonna automatically reload on my screen, and all of the system driven elements are gonna be changed to French. Now let's go back to my demo before on our display names. If I come and I click here, we can see that these user entered fields are also going to be updated using the display names in French that we have created. So the revenue metric's now gonna prepare in French. And, finally, if I come one more time and I create a board, add a grid, and I search for that metric, I can search for it in French now, add it to the board, and we can see that, of course, the naming convention is going to be shown in French. So very cool new releases, but that is the end of my demos today. So I'm gonna stop sharing my screen and hand it over to my colleague Max to continue with the exciting releases we had. Over to you, Max. Thank you, Jeff, for your presentation. Hi, everybody. My name is Maxim. I'll be presenting a set of exciting features. Bear with me while I share my screen. K. Here we go. And for the first demo, I'm gonna be presenting the Keap modifier that was recently released. Now let's say here, for example, I have annual growth in headcount expense. I want this to be my KPI number, and I wanna remove any unnecessary dimensions that are upstream. So, for example, this total headcount expense metric. It has country, l one department, l two department, and year. I wanna remove everything and just keep the year. So before, I would write remove, and I would have to go by each dimension and type it in here. So let's say country, l one department, oops, l two department, and that should give me the number I want. This is the one. This is what I'm looking to find. Now as you saw, this kinda took some time. I had to go back and forth. I had to check for dimensions I wanna remove. I wanna make sure I type it correctly. Now this is kind of okay when you have four dimensions. But let's say you have 10 or maybe even 12, and you only wanna keep a few, typing it all out is gonna be very time consuming, and it's not gonna look pretty. So instead, let's try using the keep modifier. So it's just as simple as choosing one dimension or two that you wanna keep or several, whatever is easier, and it gives you the exact same result. Now I have the KPI that I was looking for, and the formula looks cleaner and is more efficient to write and less prone to errors. Now, on to my next demo, is some of the improvements that we've made to the sorting functionality. So now, as you can see here, I have total direct costs. So I'm looking by months on the different departments grouped by countries. Now, let's say I want some aggregators here, so I'm going to put some aggregators for the country and also for the L1 department level. There we go. Let's apply that. Now we have a total subtotal for all of the departments per country, and then I have a total at the bottom. Now, with the new improvements that were made to the sorting functionality, you can actually go in here, and you can sort directly from the header. So we can sort by values. And then let's say I want a descending order. I want to see the months with the highest department cost first. And here we go. November 2025 is our highest cost month for United States. We can go into the sorting menu here up on top, and we can take a look at the details. So we're sorting month by the metric value in descending order. And specifically, we're choosing the L1 department here and for the country United States. Now, if we click on this, we can actually choose other countries as well, or we can choose the total. This kind of makes sure that we choose the right subtotal that we are sorting by because there are lots. So if we choose by total here, it's actually going to be sorting by the total of all department costs across all the countries. So if we go to the bottom, this is where we're going to be sorting by. And like I said, you can also sort right from the header. So it's very convenient now. And on to my next demo, we'll be looking at some of the licenses. Now, I know this might be a very popular topic because license types are important. And before, you could only see the license types in the workspace settings, like here, for example. You can see the editor license that the user has, and you can also click on the view details to get more granular level access. Now, however, we can actually look at the application level license. So, for example, here we can see what each user has, what license is associated with this application. So even though they might be a contributor in this application, overall, in the workspace setting, they will be an editor license because they have an editor license in another application. And in order for you to kind of get a better understanding of what permissions trigger the editor license or contributor license, if you go to roles, you can now hover over the license type per role and see exactly what permissions trigger this role to be the specific license type. Now, for example, here, we have editor license for under manager. It's because of the configured calendar permission. If we go ahead and remove this, it's gonna change to contributor license. And now it tells us exactly what makes this a contributor license. This is very convenient, and there's no guessing in terms of what permission you need to remove in order to change your license type. And it makes it much easier to understand where these license types are coming from. Now, keep in mind that the admin role is fixed, and it cannot be changed automatically. Anyone assigned to the admin role will have an editor license. Now, on the topic of data access rights, I have another cool feature to show you. Let's talk about the mapping by roles. Now, in a conventional access right data setup, you would set up access rights by user and by another dimension that you'd like. For example, in my case, I'm doing countries here. And even though this is not a big number of users we have here, but it can be pretty dense. Like, for here, if we have a big data density of 1,000, and it can compute for half a second. Now, we can improve this, actually, since we now can map access rights by roles instead of users. So let me show you an example here. So I took the roles that we currently have that I showed you before, and we're going to map each role to the specific country because that works for my case. I want my mirror managers to only see well, I want everyone to see everything, but I want everyone in the mirror manager role to actually write in those specific countries. APAC managers, I want them to write in their specific countries. And EMEA managers, same thing. So in order to do that, since I have that logic already ready, I can actually just remove the users from here and basically map country to the roles. And we can create, out of this, a configuration. So if we click here, apply configuration, we're going to notice on the right hand side that members are missing in this configuration. And that's correct because we don't have any users assigned. But we can fix that. If we click on add members to this configuration, we can first select how we want to group these members. So in my case, I wanna group them by role. And, automatically, I have here the user roles, which is a mapping dimension. So you could actually assign roles per user, and you can use this mapping metric to identify which users pertain to which role. This is already pre created, but you can create this on your own as well. And I'll show you how it looks. So here we have the configuration details. Access defined by country and members grouped by role, with the user roles as the the mapping. So if we click here on the actual user roles, it's as simple as assigning a role to each user that's available. And with this mapping, we can go ahead and create some rules. So let's say I wanna apply read and write access to maybe specific metrics. And let's go ahead and choose a few. Okay. Save this configuration and done. This is now active. That access right rule is restricted per country and grouped by row. Another cool feature that came out recently is you can now actually toggle on and off the rules that are set up without having to delete them. Before, you'd have to delete them. And once you do that, the rule is gone. You'll have to recreate it from scratch, which can be annoying, and, also, you can make some mistakes along the way. Now, however, we can leave this, go back. We can simply toggle off and then activate the rule and save the configuration. This way, if we go back, the rule is still there, and we can simply enable it. This is perfect when you're doing your setup, initial setups, and you don't want the rules to be active at the moment or when you're troubleshooting some stuff without having to delete the rules and then reconfigure them again, which can be time consuming and prone to error. And this concludes my presentation. Thank you for your time, and I hope you find these features useful. And now I'll pass it on to Steven for the awards. Fantastic. Thank you, Max, very much. I just wanna get a quick thumbs up from the team. Everyone can hear me okay? Think we are good. Alright. Well, the next part is something that I am very, very excited by. The it is always great to see Pigment in action and to see the demonstrations from Jeff and from Maxim to see all the cool new things that we are bringing to you so that you can then express your creativity and drive your productivity within your organizations. And that's what these Pigment Awards are all about. I'm Steven Rittepurg. I'm the head of, customer experience at Pigment, and I have the pleasure to share with you the Pigment awards for 2025. To start off, there are five separate customer awards, and we have saw a huge amount of submissions, for each of the awards, many more than a year before, and I expect a year from now, we will have many, many, many more. I just want to thank everyone for your submissions. It was fantastic reading through. I think there are about 75 pages of submissions. And reading these is such a fun experience because I get to hear about all of the cool things that you guys are doing at your, organization, all of the optimizations, all of the time savings, all of the decisions that you're able to make, that are that are empowered by Pigment, all because of the work that that you guys have done. So with that in mind, a little bit about our judging process, and then we'll get into each of the awards. There were three judges for our awards program, myself, Jay, who is our head of strategy and interim CFO, and Michael, who's a managing director and partner at BCG. We read through all of the submissions. We ranked them all, and then we merged our rankings together to pick out not only the finalists in each one of the categories, but then the overall winners. It was really hard, to to shortlist down for each of the categories. There were a huge amount of submissions, and I wish we had even more awards to give out. So I just want to congratulate everyone who not only submitted but made the shortlist, and, congratulate, you on your accomplishments. With that said, let's go ahead and kick things off with the first award, which is the bar raiser award. The bar raiser award celebrates individual excellence. This is someone who has made significant contribution to the success of their team, to their organization, they consistently exceed expectations. One thing that is unique about this reward, is that it's not, just a self submission. It is also people from your organization submitting on your behalf. It is so nice to see people submitting their peers and coworkers for the excellence that they have achieved. This also had the most, submissions across all of our, our five awards, and I wanna go through and highlight the finalists first. First off, I wanna highlight Priyanka at at Eightfold AI. Priyanka led a migration that replaced their legacy system a full year ahead of schedule. She automated the BVA reports to building custom daily refreshes via APIs. She systematically eliminated manual work across HR, finance, and talent acquisition. She goes into far much far more detail in the submission, but well done on on those deliverables, Priyanka. Second is Ta Wing from Turnitin. Ta Wing has made Pigment the beating heart of revenue forecasting, at Turnitin. By bringing in ACV, GAP, and deferred revenue into into one source of truth inside of Pigment, He has earned the total trust of executive leadership across Turnitin. And he's turned Turnitin into a pioneer constantly testing how Pigment AI can elevate their human judgment. So well done, Taoying. Third is Kevin at DIRECTV. Kevin has been the engine, behind DIRECTV's one platform, one story vision. He didn't just fix a process. He led a cultural shift, slashing, involuntary churn production time by 90% from days to just two hours and moving the conversation from where did this number come from to what action should I take? And then our final finalist, Ethan from NerdWallet. Ethan joined a team that was essentially starting from scratch and gave their pigment instance what he calls the limitless pill. Maybe you haven't seen the movie, but if you have, you'll understand. He completely redesigned the architecture for total scalability, saving the team twenty hours every month and unlocking scenario planning for the very first time. Each of these finalists has raised the bar for their organizations. However, there is just one winner. That winner is Kevin from DIRECTV. Congratulations, Kevin. Kevin takes the win here from turning that multiday process into a two hour automated reality, shifting DIRECTV from data wrangling to real time outcome driven leadership. Congratulations again, Kevin. Alright. Moving on to the optimizer. The optimizer, recognizes the impactful processes that you're running across your organizations, where you're taking manual outdated workflows or processes and you're streamline streamlining them into operate, efficient operations. Again, we have four finalists. I'll start with Accelerant. I'm not gonna go into too much detail about Accelerant, about what specifically they're doing, but the the really cool thing here about their submission and what Accelerant has been able to do is eliminate a huge a huge amount of spreadsheets and drastically reduce their ability to do budget cycles. It it has been a lot of work and a a lot of effort from the team at Accelerant, and they've been able to deliver that in a in a very impactful way. The next one is JFrog. Matt and the team moved from a legacy system to a truly connected forecast, saving sixty hours a month. They're already using Pigment AI. They're using the analyst agent to run variance reporting and expanded so successfully that the rev ops team is now using Pigment for territory planning too. Love to see that. The more people that are using Pigment, the better for all of us. Lightspeed Commerce. Amir delivered a 10 x increase in output capacity. During their peak season, the team ran 80 complex scenarios in five days, a feat that would not have been possible in Excel. They moved from a static model to a dynamic one where they can answer executive questions live right in the room. And then finally, Lovehoney Group. Erica tackled a monthly true up process that was a nightmare, of manual data mapping. She didn't just improve it. She obliterated the manual work, taking a process that took over ten hours and shrinking it down to one minute. Well done to everyone, for your submissions and the optimization that you've you've achieved, within your organizations. The winner is Accelerant, submitted by Chrissy Hammer. Congratulations, Accelerant. Congratulations to the whole team and specifically to Chrissy for all of the work that you have done here. It is clearly an impactful process optimization across your organization. We were really impressed by the time savings that you were able to achieve, the amount of systems that you were able to automate and bring into Pigment, and that you did this while supporting so many active users across many different functional areas. Areas. Congratulations again. Alright. The third award, the visionary. The visionary recognizes the most innovative use of pigment and out of the box thinking to solve problems. This is a really fun and creative award, and it's really, really fun reading all of the submissions as people think about their visionary uses across their organization. Sometimes the the the business itself isn't always the most jazzy or or or exciting thing. But when you apply, these capabilities and pigment capabilities to these, it's really cool to see how you bring it to life. So our finalists here. First, Cross River. Cross River reimagined, cost allocation, not as a report, but as a three d profitability engine. By building a multi tier allocation cascade that Excel simply couldn't handle, They gave the business partners self-service intelligence, cutting data cycles from two hundred hours to ten. The second one, City of Lyon. City of Lyon is using Pigment to transform public policy. Through the the Portell manager, they have broken down the silos across departments like education, so social services, turning Pigment into a collaborative platform for evidence based governance for an entire city. How cool is that? It's always nice to see when we can make things better in the world. Next one, w p WP Carey turned pigment into a high precision climate modeling system, managing hundreds of thousands of data points across 1,600 real estate assets. They automated emission calculations with daily granularity, reducing reporting timelines from four months to three weeks. Fantastic. Visionary. And the last one, EcoVetus. EcoVetus vision was to treat carbon like a currency. They built a carbon budget and travel planner that calculates the carbon burn rate of a trip before a flight is even booked, fully integrating sustainability into their company's financial DNA. And the winner goes to Cross River Bank for reimagining their cost allocation model, for replacing 28 workbooks with a sophisticated system that slash reporting time by a 100 and ninety hours. Ken at Crossrover has turned a complex data into a self-service intelligence, allowing the entire organization to see and act on profitability in real time. Congratulations, Ken. Alright. The Trailblazer. The Trailblazer Award recognizes the best use of AI in business planning within an organization to improve results. This is a topic very near and dear to me. For all of you that were on our webinar last week, you know that AI is a is a big, big topic, not only at Pigment, but, of course, in the whole world. So a special category here to show and recognize those who are really on the frontier here of what you can do. Let's go through our shortlist. First, Docker. Led by Puja, and a strategic finance team, they have adopted an AI first mindset. By using AI to generate first draft variance analysis and executive narratives, they've cut their close, cycle commentary time by half. They aren't just using AI for one task. They've built a portfolio of AI analysts for infrastructure, planning, and close insights. And I'll just say as a an aside here, this was all before the modeler agent came to be. Since then, Puja and the team at Docker have picked up the modeler agent or able to do even more with AI, and I expect to see them again on these awards a year from now. Next, the team from Carta has turned Pigment Analyst Agent into a mini CFO for every department. They've seen an 80% time saving on data aggregation, turning three hours of manual work into thirty minutes and reducing complex model build times from a week to days. The Carta team has been on the forefront of AI, very excited to to see what they're gonna continue to do going forward. The third, ClickUp. ClickUp is using the, the agent assisted finance to uncover the why behind the numbers. This saves the team a day and a half per person every month on budget variance analysis using the modeler agent, using the analyst agent to handle up to half of the upfront structuring work for every new model that they build. Awesome to see the very cutting edge, aspects of of using this. And then the final one is Supercell. Supercell has used the analyst agent to effectively give their finance business partner a full week of their life back every month. What used to be week long grinding of an of analyzing expenses across 30 different departments now takes just minutes. And the winner is Docker for successfully embedding AI agents into the very fabric of the Docker finance teams. By cutting reporting time by half, creating a scalable portfolio of pigment AI analysts, strategic finance has proven that AI isn't just a tool. It's a compounding capability that redefines how modern finance operates. Alright. Our last category. The last category is the game changer. The game changer celebrates the best transformation projects of the year, recognizing a project that has boosted the business performance through increased revenue or lower operating costs or better customer experience resulting in sustainable change within their organizations. So our shortlist. First, BMG. BMG completely rebuilt their global planning landscape, replacing a legacy environment with pigment with pigment that serves as the backbone for 50 companies. They've moved away from a one size fits all to a flexible AI supported architecture that handles everything from p and l to complex intercompany logic. Next is Danone. Danone Specialized Nutrition took on their long term demand planning, a process that dictates where they build factories and invest CapEx four to five years out. They've replaced a fragmented Excel ecosystem with a unified simulator cutting their workload by 50% and turning a week long grind into a one day strategic exercise. Third, Palo Alto Networks. The Pigment Center, of Excellence at Palo Alto Networks achieved a massive feat, synchronizing sales, finance, and supply chain. They've bridged the gap, between a high level waterfall models and granular component level, forecasting, ensuring that everyone from the field to the boardroom operates on one source of truth. And our fourth, finalist is Uber. Uber embarked on an ambitious journey to move workforce segmentation, quota planning out of global spreadsheets and into pigment. They've replaced a painful planning season with a transparent rule based platform that allows them to pivot right up until the last few weeks of the cycle. And the winner is Danone. Danone wins for transforming their long term strategic plan from a reactive manual task into a high velocity decision engine. By reducing their planning cycle from a week to a single day, they've empowered leadership to make five year CapEx and factory investments with unprecedented clarity and confidence.
