[description] => Greg Tennyson: Where do I start, I'm three years new at VSP, and we're a 61-year-old insurance company. The initial focus has been on changing behaviors. Changing how people think, to buy something. And really changing the dynamic or introducing a dynamic to “spend it like it's yours”. To really think about what you're buying, how your buying. And, Scout's part of that.
The focus is on driving savings to the bottom line, and, we look at savings in a number of ways. Savings, against budget - savings, cost avoidance. You know, we're looking at savings in a number of ways. Again, Scout is part of that, because of their technology that we're implementing. Scout is fundamentally changing the behavior at a 61-year-old insurance company. VSP, is on the cutting edge of helping people see more clearly. We have a major philanthropic outreach activity to the community and Scout is allowing our team really to better engage with the business.
Paul Melchiorre: I think when people look today, if they're not becoming as efficient as they could be – for example, there's big efforts around zero based budgeting at a lot of the CPG companies. Why is that? They need to control the costs, their spend, and this is not something that's a new concept, as far as cost controls. I think a lot of the former efforts and initiatives around controlling costs, have been more one time and not sustainable. The beauty of tools like Scout is that they allow you to do the savings, but continue and have sustainable savings over time. That, I think, is the big difference.
