Are you saying they already (over)spent in unrelated opex areas the savings from going to the cloud? I'm unclear if you're saying it's a consequence of the move to the cloud.

Our run rate is roughly 2.5MM more per month than what we were spending to operate two whole-ass data centers.

Hope that clarifies it a bit.
