Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead! ?
>>> Jim Marshall <jim.marsh...@opm.gov> 15/09/2011 13:17 >>> Has anyone been notified of IBM changing their handles from "zSeries" or "z" something to Hybrid something. I ask this because I just purchased some IBM hardware of various types and my "z" hardware sales person is no longer "z". The person now shows as the official IBM title "Channel Hybrid Sales Specialist" for some FICON stuff I bought. So may "z" Software people will now be Hybrid Software Sales although maybe this is an unannouced marriage of the Passport Advantage sales team with the z Sales Team (oh no). Maybe it will all be put onto Passport Advantage and no need for the z/OS software people (interesting cost savings). Now that IBM is going Hybrid in a big way, will "z" be called Legacy in the future? Stay tuned and let me know if anyone hears anything. jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ______________________________________________________________________ 'Do it online' with our growing range of online services - http://www.bristol.gov.uk/services Sign-up for our email bulletin giving news, have-your-say and event information at: http://www.bristol.gov.uk/newsdirect View webcasts of Council meetings at http://www.bristol.gov.uk/webcast Bristol is the UK's first Cycling City.
