RE: Aldon and SoftLanding

["Goodbar, Loyd (ETS - Water Valley)" <LGoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When we implemented Aldon, we had 3 or 4 days of onsite training. We learned
a lot of tips and streamlining info that reduced the amount of book research
we had to perform. We put three sections of code (vendor software
modifications, legacy inhouse code, and CGIDEV2 intranet reports) into Aldon
during the implementation.

We implemented our most complex applications first; it's easier to leave out
steps than try to find what to add, imo.

I think the increased hands-on training and getting up to speed with product
quickly offset the consulting costs.

That's usually good advice, though I wonder whether starting with a simple
setup would add difficulty when changing to something more complex later. 

Thanks.

Pick SoftLanding over Aldon. Setup is not too bad especially if you remember
the KISS principle and try out Vanilla variety before doing anything more
complicated.
