of changes in hardware and software platforms used to deliver
our online services may result in performance problems and may
not provide the additional functionality that was
expected
From time to time, we implement changes to the hardware and
software platforms we use for providing our online services.
During and after the implementation of those changes, a platform
may not perform as expected, which could result in interruptions
in operations, an increase in response time or an inability to
track performance metrics. Any significant interruption in our
ability to operate any of our online services could have an
adverse effect on our relationships with users and clients and,
as a result, on our financial results.
We rely on a combination of purchasing, licensing, internal
development, and acquisitions to develop our hardware and
software platforms. Our implementation of changes in these
platforms may cost more than originally expected, may take
longer than originally expected, and may require more testing
than originally anticipated. In addition, we cannot provide
assurance that changes in these platforms will provide the
additional functionality and other benefits that were originally
expected.
