If you look at whether it's business agents or even our our our mobility co sell program, they fill in distribution gaps, and some of those distribution gaps are in expertise. So Co-Cell as an example, they're they fill in the gaps of where we don't provide best in class services and solutions. They fill in those gaps for us so we show up to the customer in the right way with the right solutions. The other piece that partners do really well is they augment our services.
