Does that mean you're going to do a rewrite ? If so, how do these costs compare to the total acquisition costs ?

It's not a full-blown rewrite, but it's not just spin up new infrastructure and run it over here either. We're receiving Zagat specific code, but there are significant gaps from missing Google dependencies and data that need to be filled.

The transition costs aren't negligible by any means, but are worth the opportunity.
