Re: Upgrading the processor

I've handled several system replacements from the MP3000 processors at
various levels of OS/390 to Z/OS. We were always able to find a way to make
it cost effective. Several of these have been universities and you know how
difficult it is to justify laying out money there.
The only real snag that I have ever run into is with the non-IBM software.
IBM is frequently willing to "play ball" when the numbers aren't doable, but
several of the non-IBM vendors seemed to be more willing to loose the client
than reduce the cost, so ... they lost the client. In once case we were
even able to justify a database change and the payback was only 16 months.
It's difficult to tell you what needs to be done without more information on
what you're running now (software-wise). If you would like to discuss it
offline, please feel free to send me an email or call me.
