Blind drivers, driving without licenses, the wall is not far :-)

People _in_charge_ of the IT should ask to someone that knows, and they can
trust.
It'take less time than evaluating ...
My customers ask me, what will you do, and how much it will cost, not why I
choosed this or that.

But you are right, sometimes, the wrong guys are choosing the wrong things
for the wrong reasons.

What could help kolab is a test comparing all groupware solution.
Comparison should be the first thing that people _in_charge_ and IT-manager
should check.
