So the way I read the article, they're basically outsourced on-prem with a z14 that's out of gas and a 10+ year old contract with DXC to run it that is coming to an end. They need to upgrade the z14 to a bigger mainframe but are trying to decide how to complete the outsourcing. They need more capacity during tax season. Sounds like a perfect case for capacity on demand.

For those who don't know the ATO is the Australian Taxation Office or the Australian equivalent of the IRS. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.itnews.com.au/news/ato-gives-itself-two-years-to-replace-ibm-mainframe-579023__;!!KjMRP1Ixj6eLE0Fj!sfl0OHITEv03-VgdyR2UtI_ESQdp1WQIzr-2_gNByHuOaZaDkGTFDsP0SwivBK2QzRGXotvuFDClXp1v$ Based on some discussions friends of mine have been having regarding outsourcing mainframe services it appears the ATO's only real source for the services would be Kyndryl (erstwhile IBM Global Services). So the ATO is not looking to move to the Cloud (which would be a very long program of work) but move to a consumption type model based on existing technology. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this message is confidential, protected from disclosure and may be legally privileged.
