The Challenges of Outsourcing Supply Chain
Anakin: It's a very exciting time to be in supply chain. The bigger the problems we have, the more reward for whoever solves it so I'm super happy and I'm really sick to have been here with you today. If somebody is doing the type of work that fits in your wheelhouse it really doesn't fit very many other places. So if you have that technology problem or that compliance problem that fed reg sensitive space you want to have a partner like you and your team.
