> Carl: >Isn't tiered pricing similar to user based pricing in some respects? Not similar enough. The AS/400 is great at scaling to run multiple packaged applications. But if I run packages for HR, Financials, Merchandising, Planning & Allocations, Time Card/Time Clock, and EDI on one AS/400 I have to pay each vendor a premium. It's bad enough when their applications architecture assumes they're the only software on the machine, but the pricing structure does as well. If my business grows, expanding my usage of an application I don't mind paying for that usage. But if I've upgraded my system because I've implemented a new Sales Audit package I shouldn't have to pay the other vendors for that privilege. And I should not have to purchase, integrate, and administer another machine just to get around primitive pricing schemes. Pricing is an important aspect of business. Vendors should give it a bit more thought instead of dumbing it down to processor groups. The best pricing models I've seen offer some sort of user or use based pricing and tier pricing to show why you'd want their use pricing. Waah again. -Jim James P.
