So Romina, why did you select erwin as your partner in this project?
So by the beginning of last year, we decided that we need an extremely strong partner which can support us in being successful and transforming you. By looking into the market and looking at all the leaders in the market, we did really investigate and put a lot of effort in getting a very deep understanding on what does data governance mean from a technology perspective. Data governance is known as being something organizational-- process driven, policy driven-- but data governance is technical if you really want to be able to scale it.
So what we really did was we looked into seven companies, all the big names that you see in the Gartner reports and everything. And we did make an enhanced list of requirements, which were 112 last year. And erwin was the one who could not only fulfill all the requirements where others were also in the same place, but they did offer a partnership relationship and an interest in developing together, which was completely outstanding. And besides the fact that they have the strongest technology in the market, and we can sell it because we tested it, you won't find anyone better who is supporting your being successful. And that's exactly why we selected them.
So we just talked about you being in a very important time in the implementation, and you've onboarded a host of different data sources. Can you just tell us a little bit about those?
So we are since the beginning of the year, this year now, in the implementation phase of erwin, so that means it's installed, it's working, and it's living. So it's growing day by day. And with our first pilot region that we started with, which is Romania, we did already connect SAP Global IS-U. And I think for a lot of other big companies this is one of the core systems, absolutely crucial.
Then we did already connect Microsoft Dynamics, probably because of the relationship management. We did connect Salesforce. We did connect even critical systems like Power Cloud, where you are not even allowed to directly connect to the database itself, but you need to have a kind of workaround in a way, which was successfully implemented already. It works.
And we did also work on Cal Technology. So, for example, Azure is connected-- the Azure Next Door, Azure XL. So-- and there are further developments where we are looking into the room, which is for reading our detail processes and having also the data image and transformations in the platform.
So only in the last six months-- have to think about it, it's just six months until now. We really managed to connect all of our core systems with success and to satisfy already almost let's say 65 users which are already on the platform, extremely happy, very good feedback. And we do have about another 300 to 400 after the six months which are extremely interested in working with erwin. So we are successful. And this is just because we selected them.
