Hi Ingrid,
I work with retail teams around EMEA-North who are stitching together carrier data by hand. At Larkspur Retail (West)'s size that usually costs an ops lead two days a week.
Worth fifteen minutes to see whether the same pattern holds for you?

Thanks for reaching out. We looked at something similar last year and the pricing was well outside what we'd approved. What does this run for a team of forty?
Fair question — for forty seats we land at $2,400/month on an annual term, and that includes the migration work. Happy to walk through what's in and out of scope.

rewrite — When a lead names a seat count, quote the real number in the first sentence. Deflecting to 'it depends' reads evasive and costs the reply. (Dev Raman, 32d ago)
