The majority of our customers are substantially complete with this effort now. In addition, we added a new Vice President of Sales and a Provider focused sales person at the beginning of the second quarter. This renewed sales effort is building a good pipeline of opportunities and we anticipate that this investment in sales growth will positively impact the financial results going forward.
