How about the dedicated (and free) development team that you have with 
Xymon? Or the fact that your own dedicated off short support team and on 
shore dev team can work on xymon to build/extend/improve/customise xymon 
however you require. If you need your own car, do you start also have to 
re-engineer the wheel, and the tyre, etc? or do you just take one that 
someone else has made, and then apply your customisations (assuming your 
company is not in the monitoring business, in which case, your business 
probably demands enough USP's that you will need to build your own from 
scratch).

In fact, that is probably the best thing to remember, most IT 
departments exist to support "the business", they aren't supposed to be 
inventing, building, and creating their own "things"....

Just my 0.02c, which probably won't help at all, but there it is.

Regards,
Adam
