Now they have a kind of full, SOA environment that enables them to bring new services to the marketplace much quicker, allows them to integrate any piece of the company they have or acquisitions very quickly, and gives a single, seamless view of their customer set across multiple channels. So they've gotten extremely good business value from being able to do that.
