Hi Nizar, I don't have the numerical evaluation you need, but let's try it. At BeezNest, we only deal (so far) with professional freelance clients (I would describe them not as people who can solve their problems themselves, but rather people who understand the value of money and understand that customisations range from very fast to very slow). So far, for 3 clients, we have reached a total of 40 hours of work to have the initial hosting architecture and the first three platforms ready. The clients range from one to three-person companies, so ultra small companies. When considering one client's setup on its own, it only take about 1 hour to setup the system, with basic configuration (VAT Rates, encoding the company details and admin + one account). Then comes the customisation (the invoice templates generally are the greatest time-consumer there because to draw a template that looks like the client's, you have to redefine the template by coding FPDF code, which is not visual at all). Apart from that, we have not had training requests so far but our clients have been asking some questions on the basic usage. I would say it takes about 2 hours per client to get them started, but only because we only deal with one person. System upgrade-wise, we use the same code repository for all the clients, and only the temporary directory and the documents directory change, so the upgrade time is pretty much only 15 minutes per client + checks. Please, don't hesitate to come back and communicate the results of your findings on other CMSes here.
