One way BMC promotes is for customers to work with BMC partners that have a certified support group I know that EMS and Column have this capability. The Partner is to work level 1 issues and use their knowledge and the Knowledge Base to close the issue. If it needs to go to level 2 they then

I was told by an anonymous bmc representative (how do the news sources always state that) because I doubt they would like to be named publicly to go to a partner for support, they probably could do a better job. I had a production server down on the weekend and could get NO help from bmc support
