[06:38] When you should engage has a lot to do with how long it would take to potentially replace your current service provider. [10:45] Sidecar is not your primary core solution but it is something that allows you to go to market maybe under a different brand or different set of technology. [15:21] Focus on the tech stack maybe a little bit more than you used to. Enable that tech stack to allow you to be agile going forward and you will be able to focus a lot more on the member than running an IT shop. Web NAFCU digital@nafcu.org America/New_York public
