In context

eclared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share. Now before I dive into Q2 guidance, I'd like to share some thoughts on what I see longer-term.

Total revenue excluding Cerner are expected to grow from 6% to 8% in constant currency and expected to grow 8% to 10% in USD. Total cloud revenue excluding Cerner, again, I give you these numbers, so you can see the mai
