- 11:31key
- 11:31component
- 11:32of
- 11:32this
- 11:32to
- 11:32make
- 11:32it
- 11:33a
- 11:33website
- 11:33transformation
- 11:35successful.
- 11:36Your
- 11:36E
- 11:36commerce
- 11:36engine
- 11:36is
- 11:37probably
- 11:37the

- 11:38you
- 11:38can,
- 11:38you
- 11:38can
- 11:38choose,
- 11:39right?
- 11:39So
- 11:40that
- 11:40would,
- 11:40that,
- 11:40that
- 11:41was
- 11:41the
- 11:41start
- 11:41point
- 11:42and
- 11:42we
- 11:42looked
- 11:43at
- 11:43the
- 11:43various
- 11:44players,
- 11:44players

- 11:45the
- 11:45marketplace
- 11:46and
- 11:46we're,
- 11:47we're
- 11:47not
- 11:47a
- 11:48small
- 11:48business,
- 11:48we're
- 11:48not
- 11:49a
- 11:49large
- 11:49business.
- 11:49We're
- 11:50in
- 11:50that
- 11:50middle
- 11:51between
- 11:51small
- 11:52medium
- 11:52type
- 11:53organization
- 11:54turning

- 11:56but
- 11:57growing
- 11:57each
- 11:57year.
- 11:57But
- 11:58not
- 11:58massive
- 11:59growth.
- 11:59We
- 11:59don't
- 11:59expect
- 11:59leaps,
- 12:00it's
- 12:00more
- 12:00organic
- 12:01growth.
- 12:02So

- 12:03was
- 12:03some
- 12:03really
- 12:04highly
- 12:04composable
- 12:05high

- 12:22build
- 12:22everything
- 12:23which
- 12:23obviously

- 12:33for
- 12:33our
- 12:33size
- 12:33of

- 12:35So
- 12:36that
- 12:36was
- 12:36the
- 12:36start
- 12:37point.
- 12:37We
- 12:37went

- 25:15we,
- 25:15how
- 25:15we
- 25:15structure
- 25:17data
- 25:17first
- 25:17and
- 25:18foremost,
- 25:18I
- 25:18think
- 25:20because
- 25:21you're
- 25:21losing
- 25:22a
- 25:22lot
- 25:22of
- 25:22that
- 25:23brand
- 25:23connection
- 25:24and
- 25:24it
- 25:24becomes
- 25:25much
- 25:25more
- 25:25of
- 25:25a
- 25:25commoditized
- 25:27purchase,
- 25:27which
- 25:27is,
- 25:28which
- 25:28is
- 25:28a
- 25:28concern
- 25:28really.
- 25:30We
- 25:30deeply
- 25:31care
- 25:31about
- 25:31the
- 25:31product
- 25:31that
- 25:31we,
- 25:32that
- 25:32our
- 25:32customers

- 25:33to
- 25:34buy
- 25:34the
- 25:34right

- 25:35to
- 25:35enable
- 25:35that
- 25:36purchase
- 25:36journey.
- 25:38So
- 25:39I

- 25:39structuring
- 25:40product
- 25:40data
- 25:40certainly

- 25:52get
- 25:52the
- 25:52enriched
- 25:53data.
- 25:53I

- 25:54going
- 25:54to
- 25:54have
