Thats absurd

1. Giving an untrained individual Compass would be rather dumb, same with
giving him a program sheet and letting him fat finger it

2. Just because they may not have Compass doesn't mean it's time to change
providers, I know many companies that don't download which do excellent
service

3.. His system is already up and running, no need for a chip upgrade, no
need to have the program re-written

The OP needs to define what "excessive" means, I have a feeling it isn't
excessive at all
