The Importance of Data in M&A

Some of you could also use it maybe to follow the vehicle based on signal strength.
Speaker 1
That's right. It reminds me of, for those of you, a car hacker nerds in the audience, I know that in some states, sometimes they have these devices connected on the roads. They use something called V2X or VX2. It's some protocol for car to car or automotive communications. And I know there were some security concerns regarding that protocol and what kind of devices or cars would actually have those devices enabled. But the idea is that you could literally track vehicles as they're going through highways or specific towns. And I'm not really sure what the ultimate win was going to be, whether it was going to be for monitoring traffic or for tracking purposes. That was something that I looked at several years ago that I was kind of intrigued to see who would actually deploy it. That is interesting. But enough of the nerd stuff, man. What's up with you, brother? How's MAC so? How's the business going?
Speaker 2
Next, how's it going? Good. We're having a lot of good work come in. It's surprising. New type of work's coming in. And the sort of our forensic work is kind of taken off. So it's good for us. Looking through computer images and making computer images and cell phones. It's good. We offer a sort of thing where it's not like the cheap vendor. It's FBI quality forensic work. But you had to reduce rates. The work's really picking up. And so
Speaker 1
it's good for us. No, that's great. I mean, it's funny. I was on a phone call with a client. And they just will happen to be listeners of the podcast, which I'm very stoked about. And they were like, so I know what you do. What exactly does NACCO do? And the best explanation I could give them, I was like, well, I look at NACCO, kind of like a private FBI, where they'll be able to help you investigate certain things, or maybe do forensic work, or is it a response work, or there's a lot of things that they can do for you that as an organization, you may not want an agency or a bureau coming in and traveling across the network. You could actually engage NACCO prior to engaging law enforcement, or something like that. But that was the best I could do at the moment. It was kind of like a surprise question for me.
