Hi dhanaraj,
If you are asking about updates, fixes and stuff, they are freely available on the IBM site...
If you are asking about support when something goes wrong and you can't figure out a solution....you should call the IBM sales dept.
Regards. |

| You definitely need to contact your rep. It is all going to depend on the contract you already have setup with IBM. I have worked at some companies that pay out a lot of money for the support and I have worked at one that paid very little. |

Like the others said, your sales rep is the best source of information.
As a general rule, the annual maintenance renewal will be approximately 20% of the original purchase price. But it can be different depending on the type of business you are (government, private, etc.) and depending on other things, too, such as the negotiated initial purchase.
Before everyone starts hollering at me, please notice that I said general rule and I said he should check with his sales rep. I was just trying to give him an "order of magnitude" idea of the cost. |
