Not sure I am following muppet100 - Class's license fees have remained the same since their inception - please elucidate what you mean by incremental.
In terms of AMP - they didn't "build" their own solution, they bought supermate which was owned by supercorp, my understanding is that they wanted to own their own platform so they could cross sell product through it - the RC may have changed their aspirations here now. To put into perspective SM from their advertised schedule appears to be cheaper than both BGL and Class yet there are actually very few firms in the market actually using it outside of AMP.
In regards to differences in price between Class and BGL - this has normalised considerably as BGL 360 does charge incremental fees depending on what you actually use - most of it is essential to actually have the system work for you so when you look at the full package-up price compared to Class which is "all inclusive" thee gap is not as large as it might first seem.
Our operation has used Class for over 10 years now and have tried both systems and IMO Class is superior on all fronts. We run approaching now 3000 funds so yes the fees are considerable at this level but our man-power required to run these has reduced many fold due to the operational efficiencies we have gained. We would want to see some major advancements and demonstrable efficiency gains from an alternate before considering such a change as to this juncture the existing price gap versus the loss in productivity and efficiency just wouldn't justify it.
