Bruce:

The reason it become expensive is because:

1. 2 to 3 days to research and evaluate candidates.
2. If you find a contender I see at least three GridView's to read data out of Adagio and the developer having to create three matching import files. Allow 3 to 6 days to get this working.
3. The developer than has to create an export file that can be imported as a PO into Adagio.. Allow 2 to 4 days to get this working.
4. At this point the process is completely manual, so allow another 2 to 4 days to develop and test the automation (it has to happen at both ends, Adagio and the web).

So lets say $15K to $25K on top of whatever the solution cost is in the first place.

The first user that wants this will have to pay the entire cost unless some developer opts to take a chance, which is unlikely, so someone would really need this solution to justify the cost.

You may also be optimistic about how many Adagio sites would be interested in this solution. I'm think no more than a dozen.
