I think this is what I am on about, - its the "basic" configurations that should be easy to place a price on (and publish) , with a large proviso at the bottom to say "anything more complex, lets talk"
I haven't thought too much about this idea, so I'll leave it to others to find issues with it... But I wonder if this could be automated to some extent?
Having some some of pared down Web site where I can use a "wizard", asking key questions and following through according to my answers, until I get either an exact quote, a ball park figure or the proverbial "let's talk" message.
I've seen the document Peter and John mentioned, and yes, it's daunting at times... But in the end most of it depends on a number of inputs about what do you want to do (e.g. concurrent vs named user, ECP support, Web licenses, etc.) Plus a big deal of negotiation that ISC does like John mentioned.
I believe ISC cares a lot about these issues, and the information is certainly there... It's the *perception* what annoys people at times, I think. The fact that numbers seem to be hard to get at even if it's not.
Would something like this idea of mine be feasible?
