My thoughts on the issue,
CA is most likely investigating the incrased interest in open source solutions
with these types of survey's. In the Linkedin group "Spectrum professionals" a
discussion was recently posted regarding the guys behind MicroMuse and
Riversoft (www.rivermuse.org) than now is aiming at the fault management market
with Open Source alternatives.
All software development companies will feel a increased threat from open
source alternatives in the future and a good strategy in how to handle the
situation is vital for survival. Even if Spectrum is well ahead technically
than any open source alternative within it's area, forming a strategy is needed
- today.
Note that even big players are releasing the products in open source. There are
many examples. Why? Well, it's both a PR trick and a way of handeling the
threat. What if for example IBM have plans to release their complete suite of
management products as open source. Even if their networking tool ("Tivoli
Precision") isn't much to compare against Spectrum, it may be a well preformed
PR trick than gain trust in a future for it - were everybody are invited to
evolve the product.
To quote the character Mouse in the movie Matrix from 1999: - "We live in
exciting times".
It's friday, have a great weekend!

It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world, but I believe that as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. So the perfect world we dreamed, but your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from.

This has got to be one of the weirdest survey's I've ever taken! There are 41 questions and your choices for the questions are 'I don't want this changed', 'Okay, as long as it's free', ' The change is worth $200 to me', 'The change is worth $1000 to me' & 'The change is worth $2000 to me'. I'm sorry what is CA looking for again? Do they want to know if we would like the changes or how much we're willing to pay for them? Spectrum is a good product but not if we have to pay extra for simple feature enhancements! Seriously confused, Stephen B.
