We see the IT industry is in a period of consolidation. Could you see Datto as a potential acquisition target?

Datto is a large company that is very valuable. I certainly don't come to work thinking about Datto as a target of acquisition. I would say the big thing I come to work thinking about is how can we build great product for MSPs. Any action we take, whether it's to go public or be acquired or acquire a whole bunch of other businesses, we would do that in service of our MSP customers.

Is Datto looking to some day go public?

We're certainly at that size. And certainly, we have a very healthy financial profile. As far as when we'll go public, you'll be the first to know. But no announcements today.
