If you are working with an experienced consultant on-call, I don't 
think this is such a terrible idea. I mean, you can learn how to set 
up new users and such, build expertise as you go. You won't save the 
company much money at first (in fact, with their explaining how to do 
things, your support costs may go up for a while) but I think this is 
a workable idea, if the company is willing to accept the learning 
curve.
