Subject: Re: Moving from CA-MIM to GRS.
with their "move everything under datacom" logic lately, I can understand
why people are getting off of c/a, plus they're not doing us any favors on
their latest pricing offer.
Hum, I will be a contrarian. I understand the dislike of CA. I still
have some. However, at least here and recently, CA has been quite
helpful to us. We have replaced products from other vendors AND SAVED US
MONEY at the same time. CA has been more accomodating of our financial
requirement. Granted, I still dislike some of the products from a
technical standpoint (more difficult to install, customize, and use).
But I do have a somewhat kinder disposition towards them. At least for
now. Because by saving us money on z/OS software, they helped derail the
"Windows uber alles" crowd and save my job for me. I have a similar
hate/love relationship with auditors. They have also been a "help" to
the z/OS side by their points about Windows security and auditability
which we can address on z/OS.
