Good morning. My name is Erica, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Q2 2016 Teradata Earnings Conference Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. Thank you. Gregg Swearingen, Vice President of Investor Relations. You may begin your conference. [065RG9-E Gregg Swearingen] Good morning. And thanks for joining us for our 2016 second quarter earnings call. Victor Lund, Teradata's CEO will provide some thoughts on his first 90 days as well as Teradata's transformational initiatives. Steve Scheppmann, Teradata's CFO will then discuss our Q2 financial performance as well as our guidance. Also joining our call today is Oliver Ratzesberger, President of Teradata Labs who will be available during our Q&A session. Our discussion today includes forecasts and other information that are considered forward-looking statements. While these statements reflect our current outlook, they are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially. These risk factors are described in Teradata's 10-K, 10-Q and other filings with the SEC. On today's call, we will also be discussing certain non-GAAP financial information, which excludes such items as stock-based compensation expense, asset impairments, acquisition and reorganization costs, the marketing applications business, which was sold on July1 of this year and other special items. As well as other non-GAAP items such as free cash flow, and constant currency revenue comparisons. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP results to our reported GAAP results and other information concerning these measures is included in our earnings release and on the Investor page of Teradata's website. We will host an Analyst Day on November 17th at our R&D facility, which is located near San Diego. We will be providing more information regarding this meeting in the next few weeks. A replay of this conference call will be available later today on our website. And Teradata assumes no obligation to update or revise the information included in this call, whether as a result of new information or future results. I will now turn the call over to Vic.
