ok, reading it again my question may have been a little disrespectful. Now it is clear for me when someone would need an expert: - when you have a team of developers that need to learn CouchDB; - when you need very complex data migrations from various relational databases; - things related. To do these things an expert (or a team of them) to do the training or data modelling is probably a very valuable asset. The question that stays unanswered (although now I know there is an answer), for me, is when someone would need these services?
