[NCSG-EC] Feb update on CIVI issues and our relation with Wapix

[farzaneh badii]

Hi Raphaël,

The company we worked with worked really well until around October. The
problems were resolved quickly. when they gave us their proposal, it was
too much for us to afford so I put a halt, on the whole, revamp of the
system. But we still could use the system. From October on, we have been
having trouble to resolve the tickets.

I am going to send them an email informing them of the issues again. The
problem is that CIVI management costs are high. This happened during Tapani
as well, despite the high costs service was not great. But there are other
companies that are cheaper and you can have customized service. I agree
that the service we are getting now is not worth the cost so we should
reconsider if the situation does not improve.
