RE: Domino Evaluation

Mark,

Without commenting on the price or the service from your business partner because I just do not know about that I will say this;

Another approach might be looking into training from IBM on installation and operations, and doing the install and setup yourself. I also believe that IBM might have the Smooth Start service for Domino, also worth checking out.

Subject: Domino Evaluation

Hello all,

We are currently in the process of evaluating Email/Groupware for our
organization. After visiting Common this fall, we have basically decided on
Domino, running native on our AS/400, as the preferred solution. We started
getting pricing and everything fell right into our budget until we got the
quote from our business partner for installation and training.

My question is twofold: 1) Is $40,000.00 out of line for installation and
training for this product?
                                  2) In your experience, is Domino that
difficult to install and set up to warrant this, in my opinion, outlandish
fee?

We are a 4 person shop with quite a few years of midrange experience
between us.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

Mark Walter
