One of IBM's originally stated reasons for moving to OCO was to help stop overburdening support teams with PMRs for "bugs" that were actually code that was poorly modified by customers. I don't know if that was every actually much of a problem, but it certainly would be now with IBM's reduced support staff. I've always felt that one of the worst parts of the OCO move was elimination of PLM. IBM could have continued providing them and still achieved everything they claimed OCO was supposed to do. >... >PS> A sore point with me is always "submit a requirement", but that's >another topic. >... Sometimes that's just a put-off, but sometimes it's an real request; they need to show justification for working on something.
