Kevin, Given the two current businesses of MigraTEC (software and professional services) there are several scenarios one could consider: i) M&A with another porting / migration company, eg. MKS, Bristol, Mainsoft... or a deployment software company, e.g. Citrix, Graphon...This is the aggregation scenario whereby one migration company would emerge as the migration powerhouse or market a 2 in 1 value proposition (Application porting + software deployment) . Probability: 0.1 MIGR provides a good technology fir but lacks the customer base. ii) Acquisition by the services arm of a System Vendor, e.g. Unisys, Intel, SUN, HP... This is the vertical integration scenario whereby say Intel Porting Labs standardize on MigraTEC's technology rather than license (DLA) its software. Probability: 0.2 MIGR provides a good technology solution and would serve the installed base provided by the System Vendor iii) Acquisition by an ISV / OSV, e.g. Microsoft, Red Hat... This is the horizontal integration scenario whereby an ISVs - reluctant to share their code - or an OSV - interested in marketing migration services to OEMs and System vendors - could acquire MIGR. Probability: 0.2 Particularly for MSFT as a mean to control Linux migrations particularly with respect to IA-64. iv) The status quo scenario whereby MIGR remains a migration competence center and develop strategic relationships with leading ISVs, OSVs, OEMs and Computer Services Organizations (EDS, CSC...) Probability: 0.5 Over to You The Fogg

Seems as though I've forgotten a few things. Can anyone think of anything else. Interesting the both IBM and AMD have made announcements about MIGR and MIGR has said nothing.

UNIX - Windows Migration Service Offerings Overview (read How MIGR fits into MSFT Services) Posted: October 09, 2002 microsoft.com The Microsoft Service Offerings for UNIX Migration are a comprehensive set of service engagements designed to provide you with technical expertise and guidance to migrate your applications and infrastructure from a UNIX based platform to Windows. These engagements allow us to apply our collective learning from several enterprise migrations to define the migration strategy for your enterprise and execute successfully on the strategy. These engagements cover all phases of the migration project lifecycle including assessment and planning, proof of concept, pilot, full scale migration, and deployment. For further information or a service request, please contact migrate@microsoft.com. Migration Assessment Workshop Service (2 days) This is a customer on-site workshop designed to help us to understand and analyze the UNIX- based enterprise applications and IT infrastructure and to make concrete technical recommendations for migrating them to a Windows environment. It is the recommended starting point for any migration project. The workshop will involve a review of key business and technical drivers for migration, review of the IT infrastructure and architecture of applications being considered for migration, and will explore various strategies for migrating the applications, infrastructure and development environment. Deliverables include: A clear framework for UNIX-Windows migrations A migration recommendation based on the customer's business/technical needs covering areas such as infrastructure, development environment and source code. Clear-cut action plan for complete migration Code Analysis/Project Scoping Service (Phase 1: 1 week) Offered by Microsoft partner MigraTEC Technologies, this service combines automated code analysis technology with a migration methodology and process. The service comprises of 3 phases. The first, Diagnostic Assessment, is a quantitative assessment of the difficulty of migration based on size, complexity and dependencies for the application. The quantified score determines if a more detailed analysis is required before migration or if migration can start immediately. This phase is followed by the Planning phase which is based on the findings of the diagnostic phase. The last phase is the actual migration of the application from a UNIX to Windows environment. Deliverables from the first phase include: Application inventory (incl. 3rd party components.) Build migration analysis Quantitative assessment score Categorized issues and functionality profile Recommended action plan Proof of Concept Service (1- 4 weeks) The Proof of Concept (POC) Migration Service will take the UNIX source and scripts as input and create a functional system on Windows, applying proven methods from previous migration experiences. The newly migrated application will be validated against the success criteria generated in the Migration Assessment Service. Additional testing will include performance and scalability test. Deliverables include: POC plan and design documents Migrated source code and scripts Migration validation test results Performance and scalability test results Post migration review and assessment Migration Pilot Deployment Service (3-12 weeks) This service builds on the work of the proof of concept project by taking the migrated application and creating a solution that is ready to deploy to a limited user community. The Pilot Deployment Service is designed to complete the steps needed to take a migrated application from the lab to deployment in the real world. Deliverables include: Detailed pilot project plan User acceptance criteria Solution test scripts Solution packaging and deployment plan Pilot review and assessment Application Migration Service (2-12 months) This service offering is aimed at building on the pilot work and moving to the final step of a migration: full scale application migration and deployment on the Windows platform. This service is designed to complete the steps needed to take a migrated application from the lab or limited pilot deployment to an enterprise-wide scale and make the application available to the entire target user base. Deliverables include: Detailed project plan documents User acceptance criteria Solution test scripts Migration review and assessment Solution support plan Over to You The Fogg
