An advert for TM1

[Steve Rowe]

For the first time ever I've seen an ad for TM1, well OK IBM Cognos Express, "the first and only integrated business intelligence and planning solution built and priced to meet the needs of midsize businesses". It's three or pages into this months (UK) WIred.

Interestingly the ad gives a price point at £19 per user per month. The caveat for this reads

"..... is based on a minimum of £15,300 for 25 users. This equates to £1,402 per quarter or £19 a user/period financed over 36 months. ..." and Minimum deal size of £5,000 and a max deal size of £200k"
plus some other stuff about resellers being able to charge what they like. The ongoing maintenance cost (if there is one) is not mentioned anywhere.

Oh dear, does this mean more cals from recruiters? As we have at our place advertising does work. Our adverts on TV for our Very brand completly changed it's fortunes,
