[Audio] On slide 4, we will discuss the functionality of xAction. xAction is a powerful tool that allows us to turn our xAPI statements into action and support the total learning architecture. It achieves this by evaluating xAPI statements and matching them against rules. This means that xAction compares the data within the statement with specific rules set within the system. Once all the rules are satisfied, one of three things will happen. The first option is that xAction will call a 3rd party API to either send data to or extract data from an enterprise system that is not xAPI enabled. The second option is that xAction's intelligent statement forward feature will forward specific statements when all rules are satisfied. This allows for a more targeted approach to sending data and ensures that only the necessary data is sent out. Finally, xAction offers statement transformation which allows it to create and send a new xAPI statement that follows the organization's data governance and preferred vocabulary. In summary, xAction has the ability to receive xAPI statements, analyze them with its pattern matching engine, and perform actions such as calling a 3rd party API, forwarding a specific statement, or generating a new statement. This makes xAction a valuable tool in any organization's learning architecture. Thank you and see you on slide 5..
