New eComStation Pricing: Effective March 31, 2005

  Date: 2005-04-03 10:59:13
Correspondent: Eugene Gorbunoff

Serenity Systems International recently completed a new agreement with IBM. The agreement allows Serenity Systems International to continue providing eComStation users with access to all IBM software updates, drivers, and fixes for the OS/2 product in a manner consistent with IBM's software strategy for OS/2, as reflected by IBM in the terms and conditions for OS/2 products available through IBM Passport Advantage.

Existing eComStation users will continue to have access to all IBM updates and drivers currently available from the eComStation site. All eComStation users will continue to have access to IBM fixes for OS/2.

In the future, IBM software updates to be made available through the eComStation web site will be restricted and made available only to users of the current version of eComStation (1.2 at this time) for a period of 12 months. eComStation 1.2 users who purchased in 2004 will expire on 12/31/05. Users who have purchased in 1Q05 will expire on March 31, 2006. Users purchasing in 2Q05 will expire on June 30, 2006.

eComStation pricing for upgrades to 1.2 from eComStation 1.0 or Warp4 will be increased to satisfy the "reinstatementof support" required by IBM for continued access to IBM updates and drivers for OS/2. eComStation users who are currently on 1.1 or 1.0 may upgrade with the pricing listed below, or purchase a new product, PlusIBM, which also satisfies the "re-instatement" requirement. Or, the user can continue as before, accessing the current level of OS/2 code, and receiving fixes as these become available from IBM.

I regret increasing pricing, but I'm obliged to do in order to continue providing access to updates as these become available. As always, I suggest users look at what is available and decide .. "Do I need to do anything? Is everything working?" and not make a "buy" decision until they see something they really want or need, which has value to them.

The following pricing, in US dollars, goes into effect on March 31, 2005: 

Product    	Price 	
1.2		        $259
1.1-> 1.2	   $69
1.0-> 1.2	   $129	
Warp4-> 1.2	 $159
Plus IBM**	  $99

Renewals for PlusIBM will be available in 2006, if required. The estimated Suggested Retail Price for PlusIBM renewals would be $39, subject to change.

Serenity Systems has announced they are ending development on any further versions of eComStation and laying off development staff, effectively backing out of the OS/2 OEM market. The reason was explained as "sales have been too low to cover the costs of producing eCS". Support for existing versions will continue through 3-15-06. After that, no support options will be available.

There is also a recommendation in the announcement for eCS/OS2 users to migrate to other platforms, such as Linux.

I saw one comment in English. Regret that I cannot read or comment on the others. However, the one in English seems to be a rather malicious lie received from "Joshua N. Yu"

A quick visit to the news.ecomstation.nl server, the advocacy group, will see a very different message from me. That sales are strong and will allow us to surpass the objectives contained in our IBM agreement.

I have always said that eComStation will be enhanced and sold as long as remains a good business to be in, and these latest sales figure establish that eComStation will be around for quite awhile, yet.

Regarding the pricing, the changes were required to conform to IBM's support policy requiring renewals for those under such contracts, or re-instating users who are not under an existing agreement.

The only other possibility, which I will examine at the end of this year, will be to unbundle access to the IBM software. That is, to allow users to buy eComStation with all the IBM software released by that date. But access to future enhancements or drivers would require a separate "product" or contract. That's a possiibility and it will be explored at year end.

Bob St.John
