ORLANDO BRAVO, HOST:
At Thoma Bravo, my favorite part of the deal-making process is when it all comes together. There's so many little parts. There's the price. There's the financing. There's the business plan being driven by management. And sometimes it just comes together so beautifully. But I use the analogy with my partners all the time, that this was just a beautiful piece of art, how it all flowed together.
I'm Orlando Bravo, founder and managing partner of Thoma Bravo, one of the largest software investors in the world. At Thoma Bravo, we partner with great technology companies to help them do even greater things.
BILL DAVIS, GUEST:
