HowHow toto getget startedstarted??MB12

MB12 I would call this section "how to get started?"

Propose an upgrade assessement: scope, deliverables, what's needed from the customer (as done in Camilo's other presentation

And we should mention the number of days needed for an upgrade assesment (whether it's free or to be paid for is to be determined case by case. To start with it should be a paid effort.

Additionally we can offer- a workshop (effort depends on modules to look into) new features & fuctions (ppt about new functionality and look & feel for new release) - to be paid. Marlies Buhk; 10/01/2012
