Re: SSA Licensing Fees and OGS

If the OGS continues to go up more companies will choose to drop the
support.   Will this really result in more $$ for SSA?    With less users
on support that will result in less companies on the newer releases and a
smaller piece of the market.   Without OGS,  when a company chooses to
upgrade they will evaluate competitors products.

I wonder what percent of the customers have OGS.   30% ??     If OGS did
not cost so much $$$$$$$$.    Maybe that number would grow to 50%.     To
prove the ROI on OGS is getting harder to do.    During a tough year the
Expense of OGS is hard to justify.

Its time to think Wal-Mart,   the lower the price the more customers will
participate, resulting in more $$ for SSA and a larger active customer
base.   Happy and satisfied customers are the best marketing tool SSA can
have.    This type of dialog within a customer base is not what a company
wants to hear from the customers.   They would rather the customers praise
the new developments and the benefits of this tool in the Business.

I will say the help line quality has improved.   My last calls have been
answered during the first call and the individual was very knowledgeable of
the product.
