Yes. So it's a great question. And hopefully, I'll capture in this answer. So I think about real-time on several levels, but you've got solutions, such as DNA, which I think of a little bit more as a file drawer. And we're creating this real-time capability that allows for a lot of optionality to put files in that drawer, which are the real-time applications. So it could be deposits, it could be data management, it could be payments, any of those different opportunities. And we're going to see that both in real-time core. But the mandate is coming much more off of how consumers are accessing those technologies or frankly how business owners are accessing those technologies through Mobiliti and online and the like. And we're in the enviable position of having both the account processing or the core platform as well as the channels platforms, which we have a very long legacy on the online side that we're now complementing on the mobile side. That, however, is only part of the opportunity. Frankly, I am at least, if not more, excited about the second part of the opportunity, and that is, that today, because of the solutions that we have in the market, be it the CheckFree RXP solution or Popmoney, or ACH solutions, we have rails today, which are slower rails but are moving many, many, many millions and millions and billions of transactions. And what we're seeing is financial institutions get quite excited about the opportunity to provide real-time capabilities, payments and deposits. We mentioned that in our prepared remarks. Real-time deposit credit is another intriguing opportunity, where institutions can create small fees that make sense to the consumer and make sense to them. So they can create a little bit of fee revenue, consumers can get what they want from a time to move or speed to move perspective. And because we're the enabling party, we're getting that as well. And my belief is that we're going to see some meaningful percentage, take bill pay, where we've got roughly 1.5 billion transactions a year. Some meaningful percentage of those have the propensity to go on a real-time basis. And that will create real value, not just in terms of growing the transactions, but on a RevPAR trend basis, that could be very, very impactful to our model over time. So it's a little bit of a long-winded answer. You can be sure we're going to talk about this at Investor Day. But it's a very, very important opportunity. And uniquely it's a place where the interest of consumers or users, whether they be retail or business, the financial institution, whether that be a bank, a credit union, a lender, a biller, whoever it is, and our interests all intersect at this point of real-time.
