We are still trying to get our minds around the crap we were sent by the auditors. What we were told in meetings and what actually happened turned out to be 180 out, and basically must have had the same experience. The good news here is some idiot already has brought in NBU, which has caused all kinds of turmoil, so whatever happens it's just a matter of turning one off and paying a bundle to bring the other one up to speed. If they were smart they'd move it all to TSM since I can already handle everything they have, but they're not, which is why we have 2 to begin with.

Well, I would have to say as a recent victim of that process it did suck, (and yes I am toning it down). If IBM wants to audit the customer that's fine, but make sure the company you outsource that to has a clue and is customer oriented and not hostile! The original imbecilic person who started our audit didn't understand Oracle TDP or CPU based licensing properly, and was downright rude about it. I had to prove to him from IBM emails that the way we were licensed was proper according to IBM. At one point I recommended and threatened our IBM rep with migrating off of TSM. See Ya' Howard
