John, I think the AR System platform can work well in a SaaS model. So I think it's more like what kind of applications are appropriate for SaaS. I don't think a full-blown BSM/ITSM implementation with all the modules, all the integrations, all the reports, etc, etc can work as SaaS.
But I can very well envision small, targeted and generic applications built on Remedy and provided as a software subscription service.

I was at the Column Roadshow in NYC where the BMC rep presenting Remedy OnDemand got hammered on issues with the SaaS platform. Mainly, it was around the “loss” of control and limited support of customizations. There were also issues around upgrades. Have any of you given this a thought? It provided for some entertaining dialogue last night so it should be even more so here on the list! Tauf Chowdhury | Forest Laboratories, Inc.
