We're contemplating a two-part upgrade. We must decide whether to move our data center to a private hybrid-cloud environment. From there, we'd assess scalability and see how quickly HP and SAP can create a scalable solution. For example, if we expand from 100 to 200 units, will processes take half as long or eight times as long? These are the types of differentiations we want to understand.

We're now seeing the capabilities of HANA and customers around our ecosystem are very excited by the possibilities.

We see continued expansion, but expansion with cost in mind. Affordability is going to be a key part of the equation and we’re interested in how ConvergedSystem platforms become affordable over time, not just as an incremental cost.

We still have some of the growing pains just getting the system in. There's a lot of miscommunication between us and HPE of what we actually wanted, what they delivered. It was sold as being more of a plug-and-play solution. It really wasn't that way for us, maybe because we did want to make modifications. I can't say it's all HPE's fault, because we did make modifications and made some of those modifications at the last minute. It was just growing pains with that relationship and getting to understand each other and what each other needed. We're fresh off of that; we we're just using it. I still feel like it's been a pain because it took so long to get us here. But I think going forward, it will be smooth. Our next system will probably be plug-in. We'll plug it in the way they advertised it. It's hard for me to say for sure, but I think we're at the point where it would be plug and play from now on and it would be easy.
