Still others such as EDI have opportunities for still different pricing.
Consider a price per trading partner, per translation configured, and by volume. Now you can get that little guy as he pays little but as he grows your bill to him grows as well. Want to offer a 'site level'
license or 'server level' sure go ahead but don't make $40,000 plus 20% AMC for every freeking LPAR like TLI. They will never get a small new customer ever at those prices.

Actually TLi may be losing us as a customer very soon. We are in the market for a new machine, currently on a 520. So either looking at a new on-prem machine still in the P05 group, or going with a hosting company. Would prefer to go hosted, but TLi prices their license transfer fee based off the size of the box, not the LPAR. So, their fee is $2750 is we buy a box that probably has more power than we need, versus $8250 for a hosted LPAR on a P20 box where we would actually be using just what we needed.

Where's the logic in that?!?!?
