Question
Speaking on behalf of John DiFucci, Tamjid Chowdhury asked about the visibility into the second half that supports the maintained billings growth guidance. He also questioned the motivation and early feedback for making Data Shuttle and Dynamic View available via self-discovery.
Answer
Pete Godbole cited a strong Q2 close, a healthy Q3 pipeline, and strong close rates as the basis for their confidence in the second-half billings guide. Mark Mader explained that self-discovery aims to reduce friction and empower customers globally to adopt powerful features without sales intervention. He shared positive early feedback, noting that neither self-discovery nor Gen AI benefits are factored into the current financial outlook.
