I can't speak directly to why customers acquire MEAS, but as one of the developers of a competing product https://correlog.com/solutions-and-services/sas-correlog-mainframe.html I can tell you that the number one driver for this sort of acquisition is regulatory compliance: auditors uttering the words "PCI DSS," "HIPAA," "Dodd Frank," "Sarbanes-Oxley," etc. The number two driver is an actual breach.
Hey John, not to worry. <g> It's MEAS, not EAS.
