“Yeah, I just have more of a comfort level with their proposals, with their service offerings. It's going to be a little bit more on the front end, but long term the cost will be lower.

Yeah, I wanted to make sure that they could still service these locations without server upgrades. I just wanted to make sure that was confirmed and they confirmed that.”
