Tom, Before reacting, wait and see. There have been a lot of changes within CA in the past year since John Swainson took over the helm. At first, there were the changes at the senior executive level; but now we are seeing really first-rate mainframe experienced architects and strategists getting hired. Things are getting better all the time for mainframe products at CA.

They've staked their future on server-based scheduling and ESP ain't quite there yet. If CA follows form, this new development will grind to a halt and my client will be stuck with mainframe-based scheduling. Maybe CA will do ESP differently. We can only hope.
