that the potential good try but of that you as includes But And what and can to guess you whether smaller about of impact $XXX improvements synergies can Got you the out it. have it Bionix things million talk you for top sounds I of the Bionix that? the scale these incremental a on speak seen already on the as achieved. industrialization

Mike Lawrie

function-by-function, we -- I capability much long-term and set of started that. Bionix. don't the productivity. to that and the be is deliberately a we aspects now. to analytics drive to gauge to what this we're functional said the doing different in along we and But industrialization centers are and marching have But call But we it of just of the it's methodologies are so It's quantify we approach hard are an as disciplines that very counting whole this effect areas. other going another I would on How business or honestly significant not here impact other out right is to this will to also our expand it's labor and just whole can't increased apply that reductions And now. offering-by-offering, right of of way sort seeing

Operator

next Deutsche our take from Keane We'll you. question with Bank. Bryan Thank

Bryan Keane

GIS margins and just I for to for know GBS. wanted operating about

think should even year? we annual in year fiscal the the throughout Just million quarter those just And going the beyond year-over-year on $XXX exactly keep that so about million, Will investment $XXX about into and they year? something know expense how we about as I going go business? this the and are what through curious we that's an those improve as talking investments to think business we're into, investments each then that's the kind necessary of secondly,

Mike Lawrie

this had concluded of high-end we in synergy margins Yes, doing and a originally we range are on commentary year I the said my of listen, as the better reflection the forecasted. towards that arena what in than our -- we was

the as continue there're on back We here additional say less time But revenue in increase. margins over and will But those on also previous the to and just cost we business. synergies. saw side some dissynergies I'd we are in revenue we question, still talked the the about expect the point some those is dissynergies see for to of side investing key

So about out. this is costs not just taking

invest and to our continuing that millions program of we'll this tens are program dollars We Bionix of in year. spend in

to digital We're traction invest invest an offerings, our a is continuing continuing invest the to of in our are gaining lot analytics. offerings, example We're We in to continuing in cyber. workplace marketplace. in

another our investment the of partners, partners. some move So our with to industry cloud is different we're investment platforms making area IP with beginning our to

making making in We're investments for example. some we our in healthcare IoT. moved of We're investments platform Azure to Blockchain. So IP

increased want in and for seeing where to of and re-skill that we're our very to marketplaces we're revenue. opportunities in invest prepare heavily investments terms And investment a offering re-skilling because the areas in return terms re-training sales the in these making is of major portfolio themselves going of other return, are continuing present. the continue particularly our employees, we're So areas to and people. to those where that And we're we're seeing other of make a all

So, continuing invest those we're in. areas primary are three to that the

Paul Saleh

then in GIS to them the post the margins on seasonality on And are in because think XX% double to I little that and some the the -- GBS throughout and the investment first the the these think side will be in moving somewhere I the in starting reflecting margin think of margins I year between high Bryan have be typically XX% in terms the of the bit it lower we would is some growing again separation making digit expect we XX% a in also our we as to on reflect and quarter business.

question. that's I your Now hope answer

Mike Lawrie

acquisitions more to know I you tell I'll of They sort their things know said looking that as own we I lifecycle. pipeline I are Jim some we Well mean of close. -- just you. will things have can -- at. going we don't let a but Paul we're when have these as answer, do I

-- and Dynamics in do our our offerings, more that stuck-ins consistent of great So classify of what improving and just arena. you Microsoft that SableXX that overall you examples we strategy know and most with Ebix digital are of are don't very the

in revenue stronger and Traditionally be dependent. part of the in know early year what of So are some a and obviously would don't occur the and when from the saw year. yes don't help on potential we whole the year little I acquisitions, that year I going our they to I know that's time impact expect lighter past to this is because half the revenue, get those back do just

-- just seasonality 'XX. plays want is year something through so the way to? the you So don't expect of fiscal that progress I some we out, may would a Paul that's as that we

Paul Saleh

think whole the you look seen and all fourth captured an quarter if through And way I first I quarter Mike at sequentially we've it year year quarter. the the for this it, throughout improvement second

pattern in a see 'XX. will fiscal similar We

look year-over-year those target that it progression. take and of If you a flat of the with relatively you out similar would targets midpoint we type be if set the at have

Mike Lawrie

don't play know systems we will I of those just is Jim I There going the out. Brexit some know don't don't -- think prepared headwinds. great know I some to mean And with yet, how we opportunities indecision opportunity. it associated I is Brexit delay It also of as I and many projects get also see. some has an to -- for created and and other Brexit decisions

our IP been digital haven't word the our on earnings I No continue actually momentum some number. the some growth. opportunity. use industry, you. to in but see where for are momentum quantify in offerings commentary revenue we the second We I expect -- of can't growth I in partners. mentioned I we're those our mean lot a We as my growing BPS question I seeing to with and calls of for don't in year here, I could dissynergies see some

playing now make Does seeing we just best giving we're out. you estimate are that that sense see So where we and our things Jim? right

Jim Schneider

Bionix Yes, then that behind alluded cost the on the the a ahead maybe of synergy mentioned, maybe being on in supply of side, chain. sales you've it being And to bit driving but does, past maybe little on cost thanks. the you

through kind you reaccelerate so relative you some fiscal might of look where of you've cost As those progressing been what to synergies how are far? the 'XX opportunities

Paul Saleh

the particularly be apply mentioned some do believe consolidated be I spend. see also from center to yet our already where facilities, the particularly have area that's I are of lot centers. fiscal going opportunities of think we arena have we you data that in just that is where I X% also areas really There in contractor lot data to still our our a we our of spend in just Yes, our than This a segment progress, year-over-year we that an to two we 'XX. as [XX also there, program started. have done made will have more reduction more year Bionix

We have come. to at least XX and more in flight

we So those great still where see are areas the some opportunities.

chance the to Go that March. had I it we're at I think we Investor Day from the revenue the I at way last getting is new whenever, of look look that we amount these offerings. had, when back the

laid projections growth, of around sort but and IP it's growth playing BPS some year, our the basically way that largely we laid growth out. So we less out playing digital and that's out first industry slightly than our out

a and our management also curve legacy what primarily estimated had IP, decline we the estimated is thing other businesses would be. maintenance but traditional The application business in and that we

curve wasn't had much thought. as we that Now as

rapid we as got and us that this happened were the -- offerings, what So, forecasted didn't in we quite the we as some are. of much didn't see sort growth see and as had we decline where of was new where year, we

revenue into a we're the go usually of shorter help give many infrastructure The now, client too the a and do into that than their I Again we growth. an is digital timeframe don't how that them infrastructure I'll you want costs costs, seeing of but other reduction from thing to platform in works. we names the this go is achieve that those example we when reduce client

the reinvestment initiated So, we by starting flow XX% and our get we to we back the platforms began some modernization application That But three to or of years. to after time and a is and digital offering some lower not are -- before that and Because agreement began growth an cyber apps went -- in is first business. like rate, that might at revenue was interregnum in actually down Those our you digital there to went into seven a is growing, the -- that infrastructure a a the to revenue in model. and delay account was for is went it the costs, to months two but then longer where there offering. up. forecasting more we now The the billing a I very tell got the take that's now workplace different. transition around thing enterprise cloud we're to somewhere the so account new each reduced XX% transition than slightly of difficult

their out different. own So scales, each time and plays of customer these has each slightly

try at with you we've looking discussed is that we Does time what about absolutely the of is what but aggregate, period give you two revenue over talked an So that the the overall give Day. three Investor model the year intact we for? color you're to or

David Grossman

you fiscal but if then you do 'XX it follow I any to up to you laid going plan that And year missed 'XX a year ago? about or have you are that re-class talking target did -- you are just that out sorry mention whether

Paul Saleh

will. Yes we

and already to the we XX%. now I you XX% margin our XX% can are think already, expectations initially closer to see were

probably be fine had guess because factoring of the So were X% And it to range sort going X% likely to growth I XX% USPS is if make the the before. to in of revenue be a timeframe that then I do the I now. already the XX% to going was guess same we would more over from to believe business be

these. of have we an update will to some opportunity So

Mike Lawrie

we post the And those we sure on sometime to -- can everybody formation so meeting this models is do wanted another why Perspecta. that's fall, make same the and update of page give that
