David,
Can I as an individual represent myself while participating in this program
instead of a company or companies I work for?

Milestones during the BMC Remedy Action Request System 7.5.00 beta phase
The following milestones are expected during the 7.5.00 beta phase:

andcustomers

What is the difference between Closed and Open Beta?
To ensure that the product meets the high standards of quality expected by BMC
customers, the beta phase has been separated into two parts: A closed beta and
an open beta. During the closed beta, BMC will work with qualified partners
and customers who can provide testing and feedback on a set of focused features
and platforms. This will help drive updates that will then be made available
in the open beta.
BMC will be accepting a limited number of participants into closed beta based
on qualifications. The primary qualifications for the closed beta are:
* Willingness to test and provide feedback to BMC every two weeks until
open beta starts.
* Ability to test AR System 7.5.00 both with and without ITSM and CMDB.
* Potential for testing on broad set of operating systems and
environments.
* Potential to become a reference customer for AR System 7.5.00.
The closed beta will be by invitation only, so you will need to work with your
Sales or Field representative to get nominated.
The open beta will be available to all BMC customers and partners. If you do
not get accepted into the closed beta, we will automatically consider you for
the open beta. Any qualified BMC customer or partners can apply for
participation the open beta.
