Quick Disclaimer: Comments are from a purely personal perspective!!With the training completed and the testing now under way, the sheer magnitude of this is finally sinking in. Hopefully the chest pains will calm down.Right, this is a huge system, and one with a substantial learning curve; make allowances for this..think months ahead, not weeks.

In short, there is no need for this to a SASS option in the first place; indeed Enterprise 3 is being offered as a self hosting option. The enrichment is billed extra; so you have SAAS fees, plus enrichment fees. By my reckoning AquaBrowser would be a far more economical model over the same time frame. Give Dave Patten…
