I like the things on the picture. But do we really need a bureau to manage other bureaus ?
And when we've got three or four over bureaus will we then get an uber bureau to manage the over bureaus - where will it end ?
It does seem like a cunning way to make money without actually offering a physical product or a service that makes physical products.

And am I the only person left on the planet who just doesn't trust 'cloud' based services ? (yes you are, bloody luddite)
