Of course they did not understand it that way as you can imagine ... The good point is that they now consider that with the same features in a commercial and open source solution, then they may choose the open alternative. That was'nt true when I arrived !! My idea was that the company doesn't have a solution efficient, and the cost is just insane. So my goal was to study any alternative (even with internal dev). But that approach does not fit into the plans of the company... The evolution is slow but is not null ...
