There are a number of initiatives that could be under way, pending this legislation. For example, could a department offer to provide technology platform services, if I can put it that way, to have the data around human resources run off a single platform or a single cluster, as opposed to having it on two or more departments? So it is really around platform consolidation and being able to offer those services to organizations. I would put it more as a cost avoidance mechanism at this point, rather than having departments having to build or replace their existing systems--which may not be at top performance--and their being able to use the services and systems that another organization could provide. So it truly is a cost containment, as opposed to a cost reduction, if I can put it that way.
