It's not just that you'll need basic competence to be able to find
willing help; you'll need at least basic competence to be able to make
any *use* of the help.  Right now you're in the position of trying to
learn about a complex, system-level application suite, that requires a
significant level of systems knowledge to set up and configure properly,
on a system that you don't understand.  This is not a recipe for success.

Unfortunately, it also suggests that your employer not only has a basic
lack of understanding of the problem, but a lack of understanding that
they don't understand the problem.
