Sure, a number of them. Support contract costs. Support contract benefits. Support contract requirements (who needs to do what for you to be eligible for support on any given system). Customer Service attitude. Distribution philosophy. Support for OCO modules from IBM. Responsiveness of support personnel. I'm sure others can provide others. If any of these are important to you, you need to spend some time figuring out which supplier (or suppliers) provides whatever is closest to your needs.
