Are Software House Maintenance Costs Really That Expensive?
Would someone tell me an idea what maintenance costs for a Software House access system look like? I have heard crazy stories about dealers refusing to work on systems not under a agreement so its like they are putting a gun to peoples head.
I have several potential customers wanting to change systems because the really high cost of maintenance agreements and just want to see if they are true.
