Cliff Skelton: Thank you, Giles. Welcome everyone to Conduent’s Q3 earnings call. Well, these are certainly interesting and not always positive times we live in, so I hope you and your families are well. I'll turn it over to Steve in a moment for the detailed financials. But let me first say that today marks my 18th quarterly earnings since arriving here at Conduent. I can tell you we've come a long way since August of 2019. It will always feel like work in progress, but since then we've accomplished a lot. We upgraded our systems and stabilized our environments. We optimized our infrastructure, including reducing our datacenter footprint by 80% with around 29 datacenter closures. We've re-engineered our sales team, sustaining 2020's 2X improvement in TCV.
