>> How are you making that transition from the Legacy mainframe heritage into this new services world? What are some of the issues that you're dealing with right now?

>> Yeah, frankly everyone would love to do a big bang where we flip a switch and our Legacy system is magically transformed into a component based model, and you can't do that. You know, the dollars to do that and the time to do, the complexity to do that is just really difficult. So the approach that we've been taking up to this point is what I like to call our Island Approach. We identify islands of functionality that as they're going through a redesign or something new is developed we identify where or which project is a good candidate for developing services and then it goes through our SOA process.
