    Dear Partner,

    As we head into a new quarter, I’m energized by the momentum we built together at IMPACT26. The engagement across our partner ecosystem made one thing clear: we will lead the market with Cloud Anywhere, Data Anywhere, and AI Anywhere.

    Across every conversation, a common theme stood out—customers are eager to move faster with AI, but are still held back by siloed, unprepared data. That’s where we come in. Together, we’re helping organizations modernize their data architectures, improve data quality, and turn trusted data into real business outcomes.

    You are at the center of this progress, driving meaningful transformation for customers around the world. I’m excited about what we’re building together and the role you play in what’s ahead.

    We have a lot to share this month to keep that momentum going—let’s dive in.

    In Partnership, 

    Michelle
