Right, installation and integration is only worth $2,500.
It really depends on the quality of the service, and what 
they must integrate too. I think it's a gamble, they charge
$3K and some shops are easy others are more difficult.

I wonder who provides the hardware, compatibility could be a big factor.
It could be a win win though because I'm sure HP is well experienced
in their contract negotiations, and most companies will want a dry
system to access their db, smtp, filesharing, and www.
