Last year, one of the industry analyst firms released a document ranking various job scheduling vendors. No shock here that CA, BMC, and IBM received top marks. After all, these three vendors always seem to receive great marks in any analyst report you read. The real question is if you know that these three vendors are some of the biggest money spenders on the services provided by these same analyst firms?

By the way, you know the report I mention from 2009 that ranked job scheduling vendors? Well, one of the analysts who wrote it now works at CA. Hmm...
