For 1300 seats, I'd settle for an average of one full FTE in most places. Of course, Adam said "municipality", so maybe your fractional FTE is more accurate. :)
Either way, I have to agree that it will be hard to show cost savings there. The better angle might be to focus the infrastructure and licensing costs on both the server and storage. *ASB *(My XeeSM Profile) <http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker> *Exploiting Technology for Business Advantage...* * * On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 8:33 PM, Brian Desmond <[email protected]>wrote: > I would expect that could easily be managed with less than 1 full FTE.
