This looks very similar to a "swap" I am just about to make at the moment
regarding domestic central heating and hot water. The brochures for
condensing boilers gingerly suggest that it's going to be a bit expensive to
buy (the initial costs) but there will be massive savings in the future (the
running costs) so that the whole conversion will be paid for in 3 to 5
years - and I would be saving the planet.

Subject: Re: CA to IBM product swap
Thank you for?the responses so far (via list and private email).
For clarification, this proposal was made to management.? There is a pile
of $$ on one side saying make the swap.? I am?trying to validate the
proposal?technically (functionality, ease of use, performace, resource
demand...).?
The CA products work fine at this shop.? I am being given a brief amount
of time to raise technical issues with the replacement products.? The
learning curve and cultural issues have already been raised.
Right now I am looking at product web sites and talking to references.?
Are there other resources I should be reviewing?!
BTW - we are a small shop z9 (O02) with relatively small technical and
operational staffs.? GDPS is probably not in our future.

Subject: CA to IBM product swap
It looks like we my be swapping out some CA products and replacing them
with IBM 'equivalents' to save big $$. I know the success of replacing a
product has much to do with how it is used. Having said that - let me
know
your experience with any of the following swaps and IBM's SMPO. Any info
would be appreciated, including product features or comparisons. I'm
currently reviewing the product websites. Any other good sites? Any
cautions?
