Normally I would have said \"If everything goes to plan\", but that\'s already in the first part of the sentence.

Lutwyche guessed than in five to 10 years the world may see devices the size of a dime that are capable of storing a terabit of data, which is 125 gigabytes, or 1 trillion bits. \"We\'re at the stage where if everything works out, the potential is huge,\" he said. \"But we don\'t know if it will work out.\"

agree  Christopher Crockett: "That is" could well be closer to the sense of "Enfin", depending upon the context (of which we have not too damned much).
