I am curious about the mainframes (z/9 z/10 z/196) local waxing/waning here in Columbia SC. BlueCross and BlueShield of SC is one of the larger z/196 non federal government shops in the US (somewhere in top 10%). Then there is CSC at Blythewood, AFAIK. And there is the IT-oLogy consortium (Google it), but its focus seems much broader than MF or SC. The SC state Budget and Control shop still has a z/10 or above, again AFAIK, as I suppose does SCANA but I was told that the University of SC was moving away from MF toward other technologies. This in itself is a real disappointment, since if all the above are still going strong there should be future local opportunities.
Anyone here in Columbia SC or nearby on a z box, moving toward or away? Another OLD (70) geezer hanging on till they pry.....
