Renata,

We haven't implemented anything yet, but we did recently issue an RFI
for exactly this and evaluated the vendors who responded.  Our biggest
challenge is still getting sufficient institutional buy-in.  So, we will
likely be conducting small, focused pilots with two different vendors. 
I would be happy to share our RFI and some of our evaluation results
with you off list.
