I expect within a month of SICPA taking the reins of GFI we will see some contracts getting signed. I would not doubt if old Phillipe has already got a couple in the bag. He has connections out his ying yang and a proven history with his Governmental customers for delivering top notch service. Contracts are coming you can bet on it.
