"It is going to take some time to get up to speed on the process and the operating principals by which they achieve the above."

"Some time" - that always seems to be the key question.  Things that appear to be at hand, are not, perhaps only on the horizon, or even worse.

I would love to know the sense of some here as to when sales get rolling in a meaningful way; not based solely on what the company has said (as we have learned, that's not always accurate), but more on what the feeling of the techies is in terms of complexity of task, getting customers and they doing whatever it is they have to do to please those customers.
