That still doesn't make business sense to me. Why would you ever purchase the BMC Atrium standalone at that price when you could purchase Service Desk at a fraction of the cost and have the BMC Atrium included. You wouldn't even have to use Service Desk if you didn't want to, have your CMDB and save a ton of cash. Just another example of BMCs strange business logic or is there more to it than that?

I guess the issue BMC are facing is that Atrium has no user licences so the only 'standard' source of revenue is the application license itself. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Sanders Sent: 15 June 2007 13:25 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: BMC Atrium CMDB Costs?

Hi Carey I can't answer your question about the difference in name, but the cost of "BMC Atrium CMDB Enterprise Manager" is I think $100k per site, or $1.2M for an enterprise license. Plus costs per endpoint, like $150 per server managed, $10 per desktop, etc. Regards David Sanders Remedy Solution Architect Enterprise Service Suite @ Work ========================== ARS List Award Winner 2005 Best 3rd party Remedy Application See the ESS Concepts Guide tel +44 1494 468980 mobile +44 7710 377761 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] web http://www.westoverconsulting.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carey Matthew Black Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 12:41 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: BMC Atrium CMDB Costs? David, And not to split hairs... but.... Is there any difference between: "BMC Atrium CMDB Enterprise Manager" and "Atrium CMDB" (that comes with any portion of ITSM) ? This question was discussed at last years RUG and no real answer was supplied. (Or I at least did not get the answer.) I mean if the cost of the "Enterprise Manger" is 1.2M and the cost of Service Desk is more like.... 120K (Which should be a reasonable set a user license for the SD application too.) then why would anyone buy "Enterprise Manger"? Why not just buy Service Desk and not use the Service Desk application? -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
