rolled out in 48 hours in a well run environment. 30 days IS for the

And hey something we can agree upon, one big problem with our government
with regards to technology is the lack of an adequate budget. Many
agencies, the IRS for example, have cited that as playing a significant
role in their inability to modernize.
