I'm in the same boat: IBM consulting was asked to make an "impartial" decision concerning our technology need. Surprise! They suggested WebSphere on AIX. I can't get anybody to actually believe that ColdFusion actually compliments this choice. I keep getting told that it "could never handle the load" or that it's "nothing but a prototyping system". At the same time our CF 4.5 system is actually more stable and more resource friendly than the WebSphere system that will eventually replace it. > sales...its not the most interesting work in the world...likewise the > bussiness that needs the app is the one that decided when the work > needs to be done by which is very very irritating.

Well - you'd never get a job with me - and that's one of my peeves. They've made a huge deal about the fact that they've "never replaced any worker with offshore work". However when somebody retires or quits they are ALWAYS replaced with offshore workers. We can't even interview others for positions.
