<div>Not sure there's much else to say, quite frankly. Then again,

<div>Seriously, if you're presenting to techies, turn them loose on
the man pages and one of the open 'demo' sites running Hobbit. They
can develop their own questions about how it works (a good way to gauge
interest and acceptance), but you'll probably find it sells itself much
like it did for us.</div>

<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Hi,<br>
<br>
I need to make a presentation to migrate (proposal) our<br>
monitoring to Hobbit, I thought asking here before I start doing work<br>
and see if someone of you has already done something like this and is<br>
willing to share it with the list.<br>
<br>
The persons who'll be watching to the presentation are are technical<br>
guys, so I need a little more carefully made presentation, but nice<br>
looking graphs/slides always do it's impressive work.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance. <br>

My thoughts exactly. If they're techies then let them loose on the
system, the code and the mail archives. The point of Free is what
drives most people I deal with even though there is obviously some time
and effort in configuring it and setting it up but thats common ground
for any product you choose.<br>
<br>
What are you using now for Monitoring ? If theyre already used to
something nice warm and fuzzy then it might be harder and you might end
up going down the 'recustomise it to look like the old system' road.<br>
<br>
But yeah I think most people would agree that techies couldnt give a
rats about slides and fancy crap, just does it work or not and how much
:)<br>
