I'm not sure we will see things there, at least not the big contracts. More likely Crossflo will a teaming partner for specific task orders. We ought to be looking at EDS. They are the key to Gov't $, and surely is one of the reasons HP bought them. Note they are one of the few taking part in the Alliant contract. From the EDS site, read what they say about what they are offering. An end to end solution.

I believe EDS's partner TIBCO provided the solution that HP/Crossflo offers.

Certainly sounds like it. So, the big question is whether EDS will continue to use TIBCO or whether the HP/Crossflo solution is a better/more competitive offering. My understanding is that the HP/Crossflo solution is structured in such a way that you buy the server and the solution is incorporated. Or some such connection. I'm sure HP would like to sell the servers more than someone elses software. Plus selling the hardware/software solution provides more dependancy on follow on mgt services. Probably worth trying to understand the CDX/server connection.
