And that 3rd quote must be from their authorised reseller, if any in your
area, and let them fight to lower their quote. As it is slowing market, one
must take advantage of it. In my past experience, I was putting all hardware
vendors to compete including manufacturers and going for best deals like
lowest price of USA, delivery in Singapore and warranty in that country
where machine is installed.
So Liza, let them fight for business and save some of your company's money
and get some award for that, if you have good management.

Has anyone experienced Oracle sales people gouging each other? Seems like
they are getting pretty cut throat. I got one quote for $400,000, and a
second quote for less than 25% of that, from two different people. WOW.
They are beginning to sound like the company I work for - different story
from different people.
