And then we combined all that with the fact that now we can move things into centralized data centers that are very high density. It's not something for the faint of heart.

Was there much commonality in the platforms used by the different companies HireRight acquired?

You never get "straight out-of-the-box, everything matches." But most everything is x86. Whether it's .Net or Java, it all pretty much runs in a similar technology stack. We are a software-as-a-service company, so we tend to look at things that we write as kind of a Web application tier, so we can bring those things together. We've been fortunate that we've been able to focus on that over the years as our technology stack, so it does make things work pretty well. We also have an Oracle database on the backend, and Oracle has done a lot of great things in the scaling space, so we didn't have to recreate the wheel.

Is part of the goal to reduce the number of components and vendors you're dealing with?

Absolutely. One of the goals was to reduce the cost of administration, and there's not a lot of magic in how you do that. It's simplify, simplify, simplify. If something is complicated, it's going to take a lot of excess work to maintain.
