So where can I read more about this?
Pricing too.
How many shops are using this?
Previous versions are at 2 sites, 1 each in South Africa and Germany.
Pricing... to be honest, I'm still not sure, but it's not a lot. I will also be looking for a test site in about 2-3 months time when the next release comes out. I am willing to negotiate on price then.
You can find more info here www.support.changefit.com (http://www.support.changefit.com) including the v2.16 manual.
Pricing will be per box, regardless of whether a P10 or P20 etc.
per box or per LPAR :D
Definitely per box. I decided to licence it slightly differently catering specifically to smaller customers.
1 Partition 1 licence. You can install it on every partition if you want, it'll work.
To cater for the bigger customer, DeployfIT will be available next year where one can deploy to different partitions and will be licenced by DeployfIT Client installation. i.e. installed in 6 partitions, 1 ChangefIT licence required, 5 DeployfIT client licences required.
It p*ss*s me off that when we upgrade our box, we have to buy a new licence. For what? There is no extra functionality, it's the same d*mn software.
sweet...now if more vendors would do that ;)
Tom,
Another way I'm trying to do it differently is target the programmer, to help them with their work and not bog them down in red-tape or system admin functions. I hope to keep it that way and not slow it down with nonsense that some IT managers, and especially auditors want.
Obviously, it is far from perfect and there are still some (or a lot of, depending on what you're used to) features that are lacking, but those will come. For example, I have a poll, and the users can put in their own poll, of proposed changes. If it gets accepted, it gets inplements within the next 2 releases or so.
