Alex thanks for the well hiwses. It’ll be a fun ride over the next few months. I think the focus on infrastructure is a natural course in the evolution of IT applications as they become more and more enterprise focused. It happened with ERP and CRM and now its happening with PLM. I agree with you though however that PLM is different from the other enterprise IT apps because for it to actually deliver return it has to reach the users and get them involved. ERP can wring out costs without a user doing anything. CRM can manage customer calls with very little user interaction. For great products to come out the other end PLM has to give users the freedom to innovate. It also has to have the infrastructure on the back end to make sure those innovations can be made better through collaboration with others and actually get made so it can see the light of day.So, agree that users are important. Infrastructure is important too. If you can get both right (which I think we have a good a chance as anyone) then great things can happen.PS sorry about the Patriots. I have a long post sitting in drafts right now responding to your points on the publication of JT that I will have to remove my predictions for the game from just got too busy with all the acquisition stuff to get it done before they all came true.
