>Hello Jake, 
Thanks for your response. We are at the very very beginnings here. Just
getting the ball going.  I would love to see a copy of your current tech
plan.  A few questions for  you:

Did you have support from the senior staff?
What kind of resistance did you encounter and how did you deal with it?
Have you contracted with a third party yet? If so are you pleased with the
work thus far?

Thanks,
Rachel
