In context
“ike the pace of procurement change has calmed down a bit from the government side, such that you can forecast those. I guess, number one, just to verify that's right, you feel more confident around forecasting on it. There's a lot of policy changes. Just want to touch on a couple and ask you your thoughts lately. Number one, now that we have a little more clarity on tariffs, do you see more capital investment, especially in areas like products? Number two, maybe you could just comment on H-1B changes or potential changes. What are your thoughts around either wages or the pace of hiring of H-1Bs going forward and how it may or may not impact the business? Just a quick one on health care and the big beautiful bill, if any impact you're seeing there. Thanks, guys. Julie Sweet: Great. Thanks. Just quickly on federal, we do see procurement is now starting to pick up, although it's still slower than it has been in the past. The demand in federal is very much around modernization, consolidation, efficiency. Tech is at the center, so lots of demand around ERP and platforms. Our position with the ecosystem is really key here and our strategy to expand that partnership. Those partnerships are also important. We're really pleased with our new partnership with Palantir, which is really playing a critical role in federal. We feel good about where we are in federal and are relevant to the administration's agenda. That's what we're really focused on, being relevant to our clients. That's federal. On capital investment, I would say it's still a little early, right? Obviously, you've seen the improvement with the cut in interest rates. We're a global company, so there's a lot of stuff going on around the world. I think”
