Re: [EXTERNAL] FedEx to move entirely to the cloud
How many years? Well, I know a banking company which moves off mainframe. 10 years. They even claimed success, but... But still all the processing is being done on mainframe. And the money is spent on Windows servers.

Re: [EXTERNAL] FedEx to move entirely to the cloud
This is the same company that couldn't deliver a tape to the Goddard Modelling and Simulation Facility Because there was no street address. Maybe it's changed, but at the time the Goddard Space Flight Center had building numbers and didn't have street addresses. They were probably the only company in the DC metropolitan area that didn't know how to find Goddard. I found it odd under the circumstances that they had "federal" in the name. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Re: [EXTERNAL] FedEx to move entirely to the cloud
AND, wait for the first time there's an Asure outage, or a breech (remember "the cloud" does not take responsibility for this). You basically do it at your own risk. Which data-center manager is Fedex going to blame then? Good luck to them. Seem it numerous times!

Re: [EXTERNAL] FedEx to move entirely to the cloud
Year 15 of the 3 year plan to move off the mainframe. Seems like I've heard that before. Oh yes, it will save us "x" amount of dollars. Of course we're going to spend 45 times the projected savings to get there, but that comes out of a different budget item so it's okay. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
