my goal has always been to facilitate proactive infrastructures with 
this appliction. in fact, de-facto testing suggests holistic mindshare

In other words, if anyone had problems with buyin(when did we start 
talking like 'knowledge workers' here btw?), i assume they would have 
mentioned something while testing it. or is that too simple?? :)
