Shining Moment

We could list some awards and press that Covento has had-- but to me, as the CEO, the one that comes to mind is when we gave a customer a demo and at the end of the demo they looked at me like they were annoyed and said, "I'm not an idiot. I know how to buy in Amazon and this is the exact same thing. Dont waste my time with demo."  And thats when I knew we had really built something that the energy industry had never seen before. :)
