Hi all,
I completely agree with John & Peter explanations, quoting is realy a
complicated
issue as much as each end user scenario can be. I want to add just
another variable
that John's answer omitted, the one related with small differences that
international
prices has in relation wiith the US (domestic) list.
About George's post, I also agree when he said "what dollar range...".
You are right
and there isn't any secret, you can find on InterSystems' web page many
refences in
their public press releases saying "priced at US$200 in a single-user
version and starting
at US$1,000 for a multi-user configuration".
Regards,
Ricardo Jamschon
