I haven't dealt with them for a little while, so things may have changed,
but it's worth noting that:
a) you only need the SAVI core if you are going to use it with Sophie:

SAVI is cheaper on its own than as part of some of their other
offerings.
Last time I dealt with them, they worked it out on a per-mailbox basis
and to cost $8000 you would have had to have an awful lot of mailboxes.
b) this may not apply to you, but people in ISP-type environments
should speak to them separately about that; they have an ISP scheme.
