A Notes administrator should take the following classes at a minimum:
Systems Administration I
Application Development I
Systems Administration II

A Notes developer should take the following classes at a minimum:
Application Development I
Systems Administration I
Application Development II

I forget the going rate.

These classes should be taken at a LAEC or Lotus Authorized Education
Center.
One example is at:
http://www.eclipse-education.com
They offer a ton of other classes for Notes also.

For user training we use our computer lab.  We have 11 PC's set up there.
The outside company comes in and does the training.  The company we use for
user education is Executrain.  We used to use Ikon, (formerly
Computerland).  But the local gal they had quit.

We have a Passport Advantage account with Lotus for Support.  You pay a
little extra but I use the heck out of it.

Now I set up our Notes.  We started out on the IPCS, went to NT and came
back to Native.  You can do it.  There are a slew of manuals, redbooks and
what not to help.

Check out their references.  Check out the prices of getting education
elsewhere.  Then you can compute how much of the quote is for education and
how much for setup.  Then you can decide if they are worth it, should come
down in price, or do you want to roll your own.  But, begrudge not the
laborer his wages.

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
