thanks Vitaliy, we are talking about a portal workflow applications, 2 to 3 URL's at most, I've been quoted 8 weeks but it seems very excessive and I would have expected 2 to 3 weeks given the rapid deployment and out of the box configs for web applications on ASM

It really depends on the depth of the application, the availability of your application developers ( or their willingness to divulge information ), and the depth you want your policy to go. When working with clients, the people managing the F5 and the developers creating the applications are usually pretty far apart -- in the sense of what they believe the application to be doing, or how it is accessed. So a good scoping call with your development team, and the partner should be able to narrow down that time frame a bit. Though 8 weeks does not sound unreasonable - if the application is sufficiently complex. There is not too much "out of the box" with ASM.
