First a question, how has this value based pricing been received by the industry? Is TSM still price competitive in it's market space? Does it have to be this confusing?
I just got a system quote and I'm shocked. We are a small shop, mostly IBM software and hardware. This was going to be a no-brainer, we were just going to expand our current TSM installation. I'm glad we are not so deeply invested in TSM that we can't consider a vendor change. It is almost like Tivoli does not want to sell this software.
