To allow decisions to be made that do not take into account the overall welfare of the organization is irresponsible. The department may not be capable of evaluating the impact on all of I/T, but someone above the department level should be responsible for reconciling decisions that fly in the face of the best interest of the entire organization or company. But you probably knew that already and were just stating fact. And I agree with your assessment. I don't agree with the philosophy. ---- Bill Seubert System z I/T Architect IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
