I had to say thing after I saw this posting about Union Pacific. I was initially involved with a project to convert their MF environment, are you ready for this....highly modified TCAM to CICS/MQ. To cut to the chase as they say in the movies, they turned down a third party i was working with because of cost. They cost was a small fraction of what there going to spend now.
