There have been many
efforts by organizations throughout the world to migrate computer
applications and systems away from the mainframe over the last 10+
years. Often times, these efforts are because of misguided beliefs
that a migration to other platforms will result in significant
savings, while others think it is the only way to gain advanced
capabilities.
More often than not, these migrations are driven by hungry platform
vendors who have led IT departments astray with their claims and
promises. And because these vendors don't have a keen appreciation
for the complexity of most of the mainframe systems they're
targeting, these efforts often deliver poor results ranging from
cost overruns to business failures.
illustro believes in the continued power, reliability and
capabilities of the IBM mainframe. To offer organizations who may be
debating these types of changes, we are sponsoring this page to
gather the frequent stories of companies whose experiences are
closer to reality than the vendor's promises.
