From a program perspective, given that it is transformational in nature, you want to undertake initiatives in one area to fuel the success of the next stage, for sure. From a technical point of view, it's not necessarily that one is dependent on the other. You can in fact do an email consolidation that is independent of the floor space itself. From an overall program point of view, it's probably wise to look at this as a series of gates, as we described in our report, and make sure you're succeeding in one in order to fuel the next stage of the evolution. That means doing the data centre as one of the consolidation opportunities--as you call it, low-hanging fruit--which will then lead to the confidence and maturity for the Government of Canada to actually take on the next gate, as it were, which would be server consolidation, mainframe and storage consolidation, and ultimately--which is the real prize--potentially, application consolidation.
