That number sounds pretty reasonable to me. I'm not sure what the vendor's rates are, but assuming one FTE is working on it:
@ $150 = 11 weeks @ $175 = 9.5 weeks @ $200 = 8.25 weeks You're looking at 2 - 3 months there to get this done from start to finish. If, say they have 1.5 people working on this full time then you're looking at 1 - 2 months of time.

The shortlist is Cisco and Microsoft Lync. We are leaning towards Cisco a bit more expensive but also only 1 vendor (the President likes the "hardware" platform, even though Cisco runs with VM's). Anyhow implementation is about $66k (Lync is about $56k), to me that sounds like about twice too much, has anyone have done a similar implementation, and / or is it a fair price? And we would do the placement of the phones ourselves. __________________________________ Stefan Jafs
