ING is maybe top 30. The stock has been a real dog losing half its value in the last 20 years. A money loser. Any company that shut down their mainframe and replaced it with Micro Focus, another company that loses money by the bushel, isn’t much of a bank. They opened a challenger bank and shut it down soon after. Probably wasted tens of millions or more. Just over a trillion in assets. Small time. Hey David, where are all those challenger “banks” you touted?

My colleague and I had a meeting with a clever guy who works for the DTO who used to work for ING. He told us that they were still running some COBOL applications on x86. It was a shock! It's never nice to hear about really big customers moving off platform as it shrinks the market for all of us. > > best regards, > > René. > >> On 7 Apr 2023, at 00:01, Bill Johnson >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> ING isn’t a bank either. >> > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
