Speaker: As you're thinking about technologies that you want to deploy to get those cost savings, are there certain technologies that you're looking for that you think can give you a big boost in that area.

Speaker: Well, I think that if I had to snap it down to a nutshell, Unified Communications seems to have the promise that it will give us some of that -- those efficiencies. Certainly integrating data centers, and bringing in consolidated backup and storage server management, all the components that you can start to do multiple systems with singular people where they can actually task organize across multiple numbers of systems. That's the number one component. The number two component really is consistency in operations. When -- if you take a company as big as BAE systems -- we're at over 140 locations across the country. If you don't have the same process at each place, people aren't interchangeable either. So by standardizing processes and systems, we can actually improve that mobility of the workforce as well, which allows us to rehire when people have to move for some reason. It allows us to re-employ our people and keep them inside the company, which decreases the cost to operate. You know, you start to think how much it costs to recruit somebody, to replace someone.
