There are four common expressions that may apply to your question - at least 
from my viewpoint:


1.       Out-of-the-Box (OOTB): An unmodified application provided by BMC

2.       Customized application: An originally OOTB application provided by BMC 
that has been modified - perhaps by adding/modifying workflow, fields, views, 
etc.

3.       Custom Integration: Additional code provided by a non-BMC source that 
enables transfer of data or process between a non-BMC application and a BMC 
application

4.       Custom Application: An application not provided by BMC, but written 
using AR System.

Sounds like your situation is #3 more than #4 - but that depends on what you 
meant by a "new Application".  If your "new Application" was not CMDB or ITSM 
(i.e. it's an application developed just by you on AR System)  then you may 
have a custom app.

That aside, having or not having custom apps shouldn't affect anything around 
the "new pricing list".  You can purchase user capacity licenses for ITSM or 
purchase capacity for "custom apps" (i.e. AR System user licenses) under the 
new pricing model - just like you could in previous models.

Subject: New Pricing List Question

**
Hi All - we use ITSM here and we are looking at moving to the new pricing list 
but I wanted to know about "custom apps" what constitute a custom app?  Meaning 
I wrote an interface from our Phone Switches into CMDB and put that in a new 
Application.  Does this constitute a "custom app"?
