Another concerns to mention:
* If your shop support some clients (outsourcing)
* Several IBM operating systems on the boxes: zVM, zVSE, zLinux, zOS.
* A lot of virtual machines.
* Some shops try to have one equipment for z/OS, IBM and ISV software
cloning for new realeses while having other equipment in a daily basis
operations support.
* Hybrid applications: DB2 multiplatforms, Oracle, Web, CICS, Java,
USS,
LDAP, Automation.
* New implementations: WLC, IRD,
* New technologies: ERP, CRM, Busines Intelligence, Data Warehouse,
Data
Mining , etc
* Education of the staff
Some valid additions but there is also a issue where the companies
that were outsourced fought back with constant questions and issues
that were non issues and things like COBOL usage it was a constant
barrage of phone calls. Throw into the mix difficult items like LE
(or pick a difficult product) the people just liked to throw problems/
questions our way *JUST* to be PITA's.
