We currently have seven plants spread throughout the United States, so more than likely, Charlotte Pipe & Foundry products are in your home or business. To be a leader in our industry, we have to be constantly innovating and focusing on digital transformation. And part of that process is to be able to arm our sales team with the tools they need, collecting data and feeding that into AI and machine learning models in order to determine what the best course of action is to take on various products that we manufacture. VMware Cloud Foundation lays that groundwork. It allows us to automate a lot of processes within maintaining that environment. NSX is the networking component. It allows micro-segmentation between VMs to improve that security. So we've seen probably a 50% improvement in the amount of time it takes to do upgrades with VCF. One of the reasons we trust VMware is we've looked at other products and tried other products. And overall, VMware has always proved to be stable, easy to manage, integrates with all the vendors that we use, laid the foundation with various products that enable us to move workloads to the cloud. I'm really excited for what we've been able to do at Charlotte Pipe & Foundry, and I believe that what we've accomplished over the last two or three years has really set us up for the future.
