RE: change management software -- MIDRANGE-L

I was not planning to join this thread because I am not sure it is 
appropriate, but I just wanted to comment on one point mentioned in this 
post, because I have now seen it repeated in speculation in another post.

TurnOver (SoftLanding's product) is not nearly double the cost of the 
other products.  I actually believe that we are the least expensive of the 
three mentioned, but I am not initimately familiar with everyone's price 
lists either.  I do believe, however, that if you were to compare the List 
price of each of the three products they would all be within 10% of each 
other, probably closer to 5%.

Thanks

A few years ago I headed a project to choose change management software 
for my employer.  We reviewed all the major players at the time:  Silvon, 
Aldon, Softlanding, perhaps some others I cannot remember.
 
The basic outcome was that Softlanding was, by far, the superior product 
when comparing features and fuctions, but was also nearly double the cost 
of the others.  I believe our second choice, just based on features and 
function was Silvon's product.  I do have proctical experience with 
Softlanding and Silvon and would choose Softlanding based on that 
experience as well.
 
As it turned out, we did not purchase anything as the AS400 group was 
absorbed in to an SAP implementation, but that's a story for another 
day....
 
This was a couple years ago, so I'm sure the features of each have 
changed, but that's my experience.
 
HTH,
Brian
