"We're doing this - inviting as many customers as we can fit on stage - to show the world how important our customers are to us," Dalgaard said. "This is an opportunity to once again drive home how crucial our customers' success is to our company. If they're not happy, successful and using our solutions to drive real business results, then we're not doing our job. That's why it was vital to invite them up on stage with us because they are why we were the fastest growing publicly traded software company for the last 2 years."
