Is the ROI for the conversion less than a single year? If not, forget it. That's all that is keeping the z alive here. The "break even" on the up front cost to convert from z/OS to Windows is currently estimated to be 2 to 3 years. That is "far too long" according to our management. And so we stay on z/OS for the time being.
I've spoken with many IBM customers that are on their (for example) 11th year of a 2-3 year conversion effort. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 310-338-0400 x318 [email protected] http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/
