The real growth began only in 2013 year, when partnerships with Гугл и Oracle. That's a full ten years after founding.. It took fifteen years to come out.. This far exceeds the expectations of any business., and possibly, it's not the same, what the founders wanted. As a result, a successful exit was achieved., but the deadlines were longer, than anyone was waiting.
