For a company solution, I would seriously recommend enlisting the aid of 
a consultant. It should help immensely in initial setting up and you'll 
get a quicker return of investment and get to an acceptable level on the 
rather steep learning-curve quickly. That usually makes everybody happy.

I believe you can find one at www.findopensourcesupport.com (or 
something similar, there's a link at www.nagios.org anyway)

(marketing, look away if you're easily offended by such things)
If you're interested in a complete solution based on Nagios and other 
opensource packages, you should send an email to janj at op5.se and ask for 
details and a demo of our implementation and all the fancy add-ons.
