Hi,<br>
<br>
Good question and not easy to answer. ACME is expensive AND you will<br>
need somebody to configure it in a way you will need it. So as an<br>
redundant option your talking about 100-150K.<br>
<br>
To buy a big name won't prevent you from implementing, bugsearching.<br>
<br>
<br>
My personal opinion: Take less money, look for good consultants and try<br>
it with opensource.<br>
<br>
