They need to realize that System z <> z/OS.

zFolks,
What are specific concerns in the field for IBM mainframe
education or knowledge requirements:
1. When a IBM z/OS (zLinux) or mainframe Sales Rep., IT Architect,
FTSS (field technical support) or ITS (IT Specialist) comes to your site
to: market,
explain integration, design systems, install or configure products
(inclusive of mainframe hardware) what do you look for in their skills?
2. Do you rate them (internally) on how well they know the
platform / product characteristics?
3. Do you ask then to differentiate the product (or OS) from what
its Distributed functionality provides or offers?
4. What are other issues not mention above?
thank you.
John
