Not at all a stupid idea, John. There are many shops that already do that sort of thing and many ways to do it.
As an aside, there are some organizations that handle "third shift" support from some part of the world where/when it's first shift. That can be done within the company itself (typically if it's a global multi-national sort of company) or on a contract basis. That's been true for decades, and not just in IT. To pick a random combination, between Los Angeles, Sydney, and London you can have continuous support coverage, and it's never an "unreasonable" hour of the night. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples Resident Enterprise Architect (Based in Singapore) E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
