Jason....So we agree it does not matter who the business buys from, direct / channel. I also agree there would be a tough transition to a pure CTO/BTO model as you have defined it. I tend to think like Spots in that the CTO can be placed within the resellers domain. Isn't Ingram going on line with a plant to do just that? They have also planned for the same type of plants to be built around the world. I think CPQ is aiming for a more matrixed CTO/CCO delivery rather than reinventing the wheel with a pure CTO system.
