IBM Price Actions

Here's the annual Price Action Announcement : 'General Price Action on System z, zSeries, and S/390 Software Program Products' (ZA08-0119). Just like the last years "the maximum reduction or the maximum increase for the impacted MLC prices will be 6%".
Nothing 'special', so far, but there's a second announcement : 'Price Change: IMS High Performance Fast Path Utilities for z/OS V3.2 Subscribtion and Support (S&S), DB2 Log Analysis Tool for z/OS, V3.1 Subscribtion and Support (S&S), IMS Buffer Pool Analyzer for z/OS, V1.2' (ZA08-1016). For these products "IBM is announcing price changes on recurrent license charges (monthly and annually), on reseller license charges and on On/Off Capacity on Demand (OOCoD) and OTC licenses". The price increases here go well beyond 6% ranging from 39% to 89% for '5655-E36 - IBM IMS High Performance Fast Path Utilities for z/OS V3.2 Subscription & Support (S&S)'. For Belgium a maximum price increase of 47% is indicated for this product. For the other countries, please check out the announcement.
