Once you do have a successful BCIP test, you've proven to government that you bring value, but then what happens generally is \u201cThank you very much.\u201d You now can sell three more contracts, if you can get through the door. When you're trying to get through the door, you're getting through the door of an IT shop that's already run off its feet and doesn't completely understand the rules now with Shared Services and everything else, and they're trying to figure it out. Generally the door is closed because they don't have the time or the focus for innovation. If we could actually change that focus so it is innovative and is actually looking for ways to bring value to government and to Canadians, it would be really helpful to the companies that did come up with an innovation and jumped through the hoops and proved that it worked. Let's prove it works a whole bunch more times and save even more money.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5195882\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je pourrais peut-\u00eatre simplement ajouter quelque chose en revenant sur ce que David a dit au sujet d'un acc\u00e9l\u00e9rateur gouvernemental. Une fois que vous avez r\u00e9ussi la mise \u00e0 l'essai du PICC, que vous avez d\u00e9montr\u00e9 au gouvernement que vous apportez quelque chose de valeur, vous obtenez g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement un: \u00ab Merci beaucoup. \u00bb Vous pouvez alors vendre trois contrats de plus si vous r\u00e9ussissez \u00e0 franchir la porte. Quand vous essayez de franchir la porte, vous vous retrouvez dans un atelier de TI d\u00e9j\u00e0 surcharg\u00e9 qui ne comprend pas tout \u00e0 fait les r\u00e8gles des Services partag\u00e9s et de tout le reste et qui essaie de s'y retrouver. En g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, il vous ferme la porte parce qu'il n'a pas le temps de s'int\u00e9resser \u00e0 l'innovation. Si nous pouvions vraiment donner la priorit\u00e9 \u00e0 l'innovation et chercher des moyens d'apporter quelque chose de valeur au gouvernement et aux Canadiens, ce serait tr\u00e8s utile pour les entreprises qui ont propos\u00e9 des innovations et d\u00e9montr\u00e9 leur efficacit\u00e9. D\u00e9montrons leur efficacit\u00e9 beaucoup plus souvent et \u00e9conomisons encore plus d'argent.</p>"
