Has an excellent Database Management System and high level of services, performance, and availability
We will need to implement prototypes in our data warehouse. We will have to implement and to support some different types of files like video, audio, pictures, and non-structured data. So we are working on that. We would like better integration for data security. We will have many partners, eight or nine external partners. We will still use our system to upgrade our warehouse. But with many partners, the data warehouse will not be unique. It will be a distributed data platform. So we would need and we are looking for many services to better manage the integrity and the use of all of the data. We are receiving all these data from trains and trucks that are working on the highways and on the roads. We will have to implement some facilities to adequately use all this data at a really high volume coming from IoT. So we are not choosing that and we will have to implement some services. Right now, we don't have any monitoring. We do have major density and access control, but when a user is in our environment, we do not have the services to really measure what he is doing. I will have to report in three months on the project and its evolution. I don't have the financials and the best practices regarding the financial models with costs and benefits for a major data platform with many partners. We will know what it will cost, but we will have to define some benefits because when I will be at the treasury board asking for a major project, they will ask me what would the benefits from that will be. I'm doing research into best practices. I know that the U.S. government has a platform like the one we want to build. It is a bigger one, from what I understand. I think that the state of California and maybe the state of New York has the type of platform we want to put in place. I would like to present more than just an article. I would like to have a reference model, to really be on target by showing the benefits that are possible down the road.

Offers good integration features but needs to offer more flexibility in the language option offered
There are a couple of things that can be improved in the tool. When we are talking about communications, the tool has interoperable cataloging. The only thing that needs a certain level of improvement within Meta is the vernacular, which can be dependent, as we cannot choose the process of communication that is happening in it. After I launch a bot, if I move from one country to another, and if the entire communication is happening in German, while I have just moved from France, and I need to buy a particular choice of vehicle, then I would want the entire communication to happen in my language. What Meta does not allow as of now is that if I am reaching out to you in French, then only you can have the conversation in French. You cannot select a language in the middle of a conversation. If I want to have a conversation in French, there is a very limited selection. Until and unless a conversation is triggered from a particular language, we do not have the option to choose another language. The tool gives you flexibility in the language, but that is on the business and not on the customer, which sometimes limits the approachability aspect.
