*There is theory and there is reality. If you have a shop where the software management process is essentially whatever was a good idea at the time, software and hardware upgrades will be painfully time consuming unless you are willing to accept outages.* ** *If the system has been designed to be easy to maintain and has implemented simplification, standardization and automation, then software and hardware upgrades can be surprisingly economical, except for the person with the vision and knowledge to accomplish this, that person will probably be expensive, so throw your corporate salary schedule out the window.*

Gasior (630) 712-2104 Chicago, Illinois 60611 "Leadership that improves the process of change" Simplification of an IT system has many rewards. It can address the need for skills by making existing personnel more productive and by reducing the time needed for someone new to gain proficiency on the platform. It can address overall operational efficiency by reducing the components and steps for tasks, and by streamlining existing processes. It can address quality of service and availability by reducing the time involved with addressing a problem, or by reducing the probability of the error even being introduced. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
