    let's see:

    a) when the customer wants to spend less than $5,000 on software licenses
    (Add BTS, SQL Server, and Windows 2003 together... )
    b) when you are just moving files around, and not mapping, or creating
    transactions, it's probably better to use DTS or SSH or (heaven forbid) FTP.
    c) when the customer needs to integrate two systems and is absolutely
    certain that the number of systems involved will never grow beyond two (for
    example: two legacy apps that are about to be replaced).
    d) a customer with very limited development or support capabilities may not
    be well served with a server tool like BTS.

    Those are the only ones that come to mind. Pretty much the same list as I'd
    expect for any enterprise app...
