So, when do we start implementing this agreement? Tomorrow?

Sure, why not. Assuming that all is already implanted, everybody is trained, and people is already receiving their cards, sure. The sooner, the better.

Ok, it may be more realistic to start the implementation next week.

The most important thing is the installation of machines. Training is easy; it would not take more than one day. And we only need to BEGIN issuing cards, on the day this agreements enters into effect.

Its agree then. All left to do is Bizantinople let us know that the system is installed.

We have completed the installation of the card systems. If you have any problems with the machinery, just call on Byzantinople.
