HYBRID is now In Vogue
Has anyone been notified of IBM changing their handles from zSeries or z something to Hybrid something. I ask this because I just purchased some IBM hardware of various types and my z hardware sales person is no longer z. The person now shows as the official IBM title Channel Hybrid Sales Specialist for some FICON stuff I bought. So may z Software people will now be Hybrid Software Sales although maybe this is an unannouced marriage of the Passport Advantage sales team with the z Sales Team (oh no). Maybe it will all be put onto Passport Advantage and no need for the z/OS software people (interesting cost savings). Now that IBM is going Hybrid in a big way, will z be called Legacy in the future?Stay tuned and let me know if anyone hears anything. jim -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: HYBRID is now In Vogue
Jim, I think 'channel' and 'hybrid' are sales/marketing/supply chain terms, not technical terms, in this case.

Australia today announced a third option on passports for gender - Male, Female and X (I kid you not). But X represents a female chromosome, and Y is for male. If only they'd gone with Z it would have fit right in with this group! ;-) Dave Salt SimpList(tm) - try it; you'll get it! http://www.mackinney.com/products/program-development/simplist.html Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2011 23:00:55 +1000 From: ibm-m...@tpg.com.au Subject: Re: HYBRID is now In Vogue To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu On Thu, Sep 15th, 2011 at 10:17 PM, Jim Marshall jim.marsh...@opm.gov wrote: Has anyone been notified of IBM changing their handles from zSeries or z something to Hybrid something.

Re: HYBRID is now In Vogue
Given the zBX sidecar for the z196 and z114, I think that the term Hybrid is appropriate, even if it is a bit optimistic. /jack - Original Message - From: Jim Marshall jim.marsh...@opm.gov Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2011 8:17 AM Subject: HYBRID is now In Vogue Has anyone been notified of IBM changing their handles from zSeries or z something to Hybrid something.
