They spun off the Marimba product: and did not know how to sell it. IT is a HUGE Winner !! yet they Spun it the Wrong direction.. They were only after the BSA cash COW (which is too high!!) but they could have Augmented their Cash with Marimba in a Very Profitable way: Must have got advice from a BEAN counter... Marimba can be used on Servers but the SALES guys were told NOT to tell customers cause they would loose the BSA side .. but you cannot continue to promote the most expensive product and think it is a winner in a Down economy.. Foolish !! they needed to play both sides of the market instead of Limiting their approach in such a way they LOOSE customers!!! Oh well... it is ... what... it is... I sure am glad all those bean counters, and smart managers up there... got their bonus check... Great job...
