Dear Dale Bowen:
            We have reviewed your November 18, 2022 response to our comment letter and have the
following comments.  In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information
so we may better understand your disclosure.
            Please respond to these comments within ten business days by providing the requested
information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond.  If you do not believe our
comments apply to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.
            After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional
comments.  Unless we note otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our

Key Business Metrics, page 51
1.We note your response to prior comment 1.  Given that you consider the number of
customers to be a key performance indicator in managing your business, it remains
unclear why an exact customer count with an explanation of the factors impacting such
measure would not be relevant to investors.  Please revise and ensure that you include a
discussion of any significant fluctuations in this metric from period to period.

2.We note your response to prior comment 2.  Please revise your non-GAAP reconciliations
to separately present transaction expenses, impairment charges and other non-recurring
costs.  To the extent the impairment charges relate to various asset groups (e.g. goodwill,
held-for-sale, leases, etc.), include a breakdown of such charges in a footnote to the non-
GAAP reconciliation.  Also, provide us with a breakdown of other non-recurring costs
and, to the extent material, include such information in a footnote to the reconciliation.
3.We note from your proposed disclosures in response to prior comment 3 you intend to
disclose that the increase in revenue is due to expanded use of your solutions.  However, it
remains unclear whether such usage is from new or existing customers or from recent
acquisitions.  Considering your key metrics relate to the growth of your total customer
base and retention and expansion of your existing customer base, please revise to include
either the dollar amount or percentage change in revenue attributable to both new and
existing customers to add further context to the impact of the key performance
indicators used in managing your business.  Also, to the extent that any acquisition during
the period materially impacted revenue, revise to include a quantified discussion of such
impact.

4.We note your reference to "losses that could potentially result from this lawsuit" in
your response to prior comment 4.  Please revise your proposed disclosures to more
clearly state, if true, that it is reasonably possible that a loss in excess of amounts accrued
may be incurred but that the amount of such loss or range of loss cannot be reasonably
estimated.
            You may contact Brittany Ebbertt, Senior Staff Accountant, at 202-551-3572 or
Kathleen Collins, Accounting Branch Chief, at 202-551-3499 with any questions.
Sincerely,
Division of Corporation Finance
