Upper level management makes a purchase
and forces its use down the organization
Level of Entry: High
Value Justification: Priority at the top, with
support from key stakeholders below
Sales Strategy: Hire Salespeople with sales
experience for face-to-face sales (expensive)
Sales Cycle Length: Long
Avg. Sales Price: $$$$ Higher
Revenue Model: A few sales may be all you need
Top Down Approach
Top Down vs. Bottom Up (User Acquisition Model)
Individual users (typically at the lower, more
technical levels) begin using the solution and
adoption grows organically
Level of Entry: Low
Value Justification: Everyone buys in, every day
Sales Strategy: Initially viral, web-based
(inexpensive)
Sales Cycle Length: Short, Viral
Avg. Sales Price: $ Lower (but scales)
Revenue Model: Requires high volume of
customers paying small amounts each
Bottom Up Approach

Opportunities for Efficiency Gain
n Server build parameters left to the individual administrator
n Slower times to repair; relatively high effort required for post-incident recovery
n Patching performed as possible rather than as needed
n Emergency patches create significant disruption
n Ad hoc change processes
n Low confidence in new application testing, if performed
n Infrequent / uncoordinated resource sharing across teams, groups or locations
n Insufficient documentation
n Large number of disparate operational systems or tools
n Operational reporting difficult to produce and difficult to audit
n Low level of compliance with operational policies
© 2004 Opsware Inc. All rights reserved. Page 25
Risk Reduction Opportunities
n Lack of a maintained, enforced, reusable test environment
n High frequency of misconfiguration and bad decision-making by lower-
level technical personnel
n Non-compliance with change management policies
n Difficult or impossible rollback of failed code deployments
n Unreliable audit trails and change histories
n Non-compliance of patch levels and patch frequency with contractual
obligations
n Insufficient or inaccurate documentation for operational decision-making
© 2004 Opsware Inc. All rights reserved. Page 25
Enabling Accelerated Off-shoring
n User access to the platform controlled via a centralized definition of privileges
n All of interdependencies between all components of an application are modeled such
that customer-specific knowledge resides in Opsware rather than in personnel
n System change requires modifications only to the relevant building block, not to the
entire server
n Full integration with incident management, ticketing, billing and asset management
n Severs the relationship between geographic location of personnel and geographic
location of servers
n Any accredited system user can answer any business question about the global
managed estate
n Changes to servers executed by the model-based system are “undo-able” by any
user, in any location, with any level of skill.
n Changes to servers by operators outside of the model-based system trigger an alert
n Software packages and patches certified or mandated for use are deposited in a
unified, secure repository
n Digitally signed audit trails protect both the underlying model and the software
package repository
© 2004 Opsware Inc. All rights reserved. Page 25
Other Non-quantified Benefits
n Application management gains
• Efficiency (esp. via automated code deployment)
• Risk reduction
• Off-shoring
n Migration of 760 business-critical systems from remote sites to
hardened data centers
n Management reporting, auditing and compliance
n Service transformation
n Disaster recovery reliability and service enhancements

Metrics: Quantifiable measurements of the business benefits of the solution. (Before and After comparison).
Proof of where and how we’ve accomplished similar objectives before
Economic Buyer: The individual within the customer’s organization who has the final “yes.” Typically has access to
discretionary funding.
Decision Criteria: These are the formal solution requirements against which each participant in the decision process will
evaluate the available options. They are always from the customer’s point of view.
Decision Process: The process by which the customer will evaluate, select and purchase a solution.
Identify Pain: Pain is the catalyst for the buyer solving the problem within a set timeframe. There are Business pains and
Technical pains and both must be identified and quantified.
Champion: The person with power and influence inside the customer’s organization who is actively selling on your behalf.
Competition: The competition’s strengths, weaknesses and differentiators, including Champions and their relative power and
influence. You must understand your competition (including “Do Nothing” and “Do it Internally) and have a strategy to compete.

Page 27 Opportunities for Efficiency Gain n Server build parameters left to the individual administrator n Slower times to repair; relatively high effort required for post-incident recovery n Patching performed as possible rather than as needed n Emergency patches create significant disruption n Ad hoc change processes n Low confidence in new application testing, if performed n Infrequent / uncoordinated resource sharing across teams, groups or locations n Insufficient documentation n Large number of disparate operational systems or tools n Operational reporting difficult to produce and difficult to audit n Low level of compliance with operational policies © 2004 Opsware Inc. All rights reserved. Page 25 Risk Reduction Opportunities n Lack of a maintained, enforced, reusable test environment n High frequency of misconfiguration and bad decision-making by lower- level technical personnel n Non-compliance with change management policies n Difficult or impossible rollback of failed code deployments n Unreliable audit trails and change histories n Non-compliance of patch levels and patch frequency with contractual obligations n Insufficient or inaccurate documentation for operational decision-making © 2004 Opsware Inc.
