Larry,

Except that we're also paying by the hour for the resources used for
implementation... :/

Most include first year of maintenance in the initial purchase either as
part of that purchase or as a line item. X for purchase Y for annual
maintenance. Either way you're paying right away.

Yes you start paying before it's 'live' but you are using vendor resources
to get it going.

All,

In your experience, when do you usually have to start paying for software
maintenance for non-IBM software?

I'm thinking, 12 months after purchase is standard.

Every heard of maint charges starting right after purchase? Particularly
with a complex piece of software, ie. complete ERP system, whose
implementation will take months?


Thanks!
Charles
