It's supposed to be on track to become a US DoD cert in 8570. If you are
in that world that will help.

Meanwhile it's part of our brag sheet as we work on getting new business
in the software assurance area among our DoD customers. We've got two of
us on our team from early in the experience assessment phase. Not sure
how much it helps sell things over and above our reputation among our
customers but we keep it out there.
