Support is given not only to Spain based users but also on other users who work from distant locations outside of Spain who need to use Spain's based certificates for administrative cores.

Lessons Learned

Ongoing. Initial cost estimation was lower than actual ones due to new installation of a fairly new product and its difficulties to estimate user learning curve and local networking security. Now after a few years I know how many hours per user it takes me to give support and the time involved in the initial setup much better.
