Q: Can you elaborate on the sustainability of the software management margin expansion and the role of AI in this growth? A: Dennis Herszkowicz, CEO: The margin expansion is driven by strong revenue growth, particularly in recurring revenue, which creates operational leverage.

Q: Could you provide more details on the launch of the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and its market potential? A: Dennis Herszkowicz, CEO: The IaaS launch addresses customer demand for additional cloud capabilities beyond our existing Platform as a Service (PaaS). While we don't have specific TAM figures, we believe the opportunity is significant, especially for larger customers who require comprehensive cloud solutions.
Q: What are the key drivers behind the strong management growth in the first quarter, and how do new customer acquisitions contribute? A: Dennis Herszkowicz, CEO: The growth is driven by robust market demand, competitive differentials, and an expanding portfolio.

A: Gilsomar Maia Sebastiao, CFO: The integration is progressing well, with March showing stronger performance than previous months.
