No, I haven't. Please tell me what it is like? Because in 40 years of IT and 25 with Oracle, I certainly have never seen any of those "real" shops and I need you to tell me what they are like....

What the hell has saving 9.5M - unqualified - have to do with EM? Do you know how to read English?

Unless they are a provider of db services, there is simply NO NEED whatsoever for "8000 targets with 2000 databases". And if they are, then 9.5M is way too low for that kind of work at that dimension.

And pray tell in what deranged univers is EM going to help reduce the
number of Aix/HPUX licences?
Unless the number of databases and nodes is reduced, which ha NOTHING
to do with EM.
Can you stay on the subject for longer than a sentence?

Once again: what the heck has that got to do with EM? Wince when has EM helped anyone REDUCE the licenssing costs? Are you on this universe yet?

Like I said: get a clue, learn to speak and read English.
