That's true. I think they've really got their sights set on salesforce.com. That is the leading PaaS in the world. I was definitely disappointed that Remedy didn't get into the PaaS game at one time. I know that BMC was discussing it. However, they might have already inked their deal with salesforce.com - so it might not have been possible... or maybe they were too far behind. All of that being said, BMC Remedy is the best and least expensive on-premise platform for Rapid Application Development for IT.
So - to Jason's point - if you're interested in the lowest operating costs/TCO... BMC Remedy has locked that up. If I were BMC, I might just market that message! If you want PaaS: Remedyforce/SFDC If you want Internal Platform for lowest TCO: Remedy If you want an inexpensive ITSM app only: ServiceCore Lee Cullom | Northcraft Analytics IT Metrics Specialist | Business Intelligence for ITSM Direct - 678-438-7244 | http://www.northcraftanalytics.com<http://www.northcraftanalytics.com/> Main - (678) 664-ITSM [Description: Description: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSo4qhIq-bDh4Z1UzKXet0tiAZqqejjd1BT8lVOHdrzZQwqeZun]<http://www.linkedin.com/in/leecullom>[Description: Description: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSWE5AoudybparNXkh21Br8ZWGNBqdra5ylZ63igCoZ36o5b5iFEA]<http://twitter.com/#!/NorthcraftIT> What is Northcraft Analytics?

I thought it was not possible to modify structural definitions in their database. The newer version (onsite option) seems to be an interesting direction they are headed in and definitely a competitor to the AR System as a developers platform..

You can look this up on the ServiceNow Wikipedia. It is easier to add fields in AR System Dev Studio, but not by much. Plus, ServiceNow leads in personalization. Also, you can't put fields exactly where you want in ServiceNow, you have to put them in a general section... kind of similar to salesforce.com/Remedyforce.

And you cannot add fields - you can move them around to make the picture prettier. If you want a new field like for e.g. Alternate Requester Name - easily done in Remedy. Cannot be done in SNOW. >From what I heard, any change that impacts the data structure in SNOW is not >possible. Is child's play literally in Remedy. Agreed that could be a double edged sword. Very powerful if you know what you are doing - quite destructive otherwise.

That's not as easy to learn or quick to work in as the AR System interface, nor is it as flexible or as extensible. I've yet to see a faster prototype engine than the AR System, and have also yet to see a business process that it can't be made to track.
