IPC has invested in Connexus Labs to drive customer adoption of new technologies that are integrated with IPC products, not deploy a platform that would be price prohibitive for customers to deploy projects in Connexus Labs. There are costs associated for any project to be deployed in a hosted environment, but IPC will work with our customers and partners to negate or minimize these costs wherever possible.
