There are two IBM consultants who help us with the deployment. They are constantly with us. 

Our middleware team consists of 12 people who are responsible for the deployment. 

We generally work with consultants for deployments. 

The resources required for the deployment depend on the approach. For a manual installation and setup, two or three resources would be enough. 

If we use automated deployment, it requires minimal human intervention. Once the deployment starts, we just need to verify the installation's success.

The solution also requires any maintenance from our side. For example, there are maintenance practices we should follow to keep the WebSphere Application Server running smoothly.

We don't need dedicated 24/7 maintenance for WebSphere. Typically, the resources involved in the deployment handle the maintenance tasks as needed.

The deployment is fast and efficient. It takes only one person to complete the whole process. 

In-house with experts from IBM.

We usually have a team of two or three people handling it. 

We implemented the solution with IBM services.

We have our in-house team who are trained in the deployment of IBM WebSphere Application Servers, so we didn't need outside assistance. 

We use approximately four technicians for the implementation and maintenance of the solution.
