Just noticed that Nimsoft and Indicative have decided to join forces and work towards a more competitive offering for the future.
From Gary’s Blog, I particularly like this:
“The second area is Business Service Management. We decided that the big guys had had this space to themselves for too long and they needed someone to shake it up a little by providing easily implemented and easily managed products with a low cost of ownership. We intend to make Business Service Management “within reach” just as we have done with the other disciplines.”
Gary, I encourage you to visit my blog and especially the presentation I gave at BarCampESM for ideas that you can start with in your BSM product development journey. I’d also encourage you to look at what the folks at Firescope and Integrien are doing. Blending all of this in with your newly acquired technology, a nice interface and fundamental BSM capabilities will help you create a differentiating product for wide spread adoption. Please share your BSM thoughts as you progress (ping me if you want to guest author on the BSM topic here).
I hope this is the start of the smaller players joining forces to create products and offerings that start to shake things up. There are so many good things from these companies that have been overlooked for too long now. This isn’t just something that the “proprietary” folks should be considering either as the OSS guys need to think along these lines as well. Would it be a cardinal sin for an OSS player to join forces with a smaller “proprietary” player?
Good luck to the new Nimsoft!

Thanks for the comments and yes, I will definitely check this out and would love the ability to contribute in the future. I actually keep in regular contact with the folks at Integrien – I like what they are doing.
Give me a couple of weeks to get some things together (it’s rather hectic at the moment).
