Those are all good points. Unfortunately we are in Wales and therefore not
part of the MS deal with the NHS and I'd rather avoid Compaq after my DL360
experiences. We may even look into NewMoon as the licensing costs should be
much lower.
The first priority is to provide a nice convincing argument for the
executive laymen.

Angus
On the Licensing costs
1. Your Microsoft licensing will be dirt cheap due to the NHS deal with
Microsoft.
2. I believe there will be a Citrix Licensing scheme that should give you
substantial discounts if you get over a certain amount of seats.
3. With all that money that is being pumped into the NHS via next years Tax
rise , im sure you should be able to swing funding if you put a decent
proposal forward.
4. If you need new servers , get a special bid from Compaq.
5. Speak to your GCAT reseller who should be able to advise
Even before that NHS agreement a TS CAL would have costed between approx.
4-10 quid whereas Private companies would have to pay approx. 50-58
quid....
