		<description><![CDATA[Hey Ryan, 

Firstly, good work but a couple comments.

I will not try to address IMHO all the gaps in different categories, at least not until I&#039;ve gather most of my thoughts, but one glaring omission of other HP offerings and potentially misleading the space of HP Business Service Automation (BSA - aka Opsware) suite. Resource Reconciliation, Analytics, and especially Configuration &amp; Change are not the selling point of HP BSA. Its almost entire in the Process Orchestration with tentacles in other categories, but not the driver.

For these areas, HP have an even large suite of products from their acquisition of Mercury and Peregrine. An example, Resource Reconciliation is covered by HP Universal CMDB (uCMDB) with Discovery &amp; Dependency Mapping (DDM - formerly Mercury Application Mapping) and federation with Network, Operations, Asset Management (Peregrine) platforms. This is not even mentioning the range of adapters to 3rd party platforms.


Regards
J]]></description>
