Kevin Hansen, >>Woo Whee! CSGI is getting a 3 million line contract! 3 million lines is NOTHING. It's another friggin test. Test test test...nobody trusts this method of converting code. That's the bottom line. << Sorry, but I have to correct your inaccurate and misleading statements. 1. The LSI contract is NOT a test. It is a revenue generating contract. 2. ConSyGen does both windowing and field expansion - which are the most widely accepted methods. 3. The only difference is while others require hundreds of programmers to do conversions, ConSyGen can do them with fewer bodies. ------------------------------------------------------------------- >> The problem is, you have to involve people in the conversion process to ensure it's reliability. What company wants to hand over a hundred million lines of code to a company who isn't going to babysit that code personally to ensure that it comes out clean? << What company ? well how about: Motorola - Pilot project completed ..... waiting for testing results LSI - Awarded a 3 million line contract to CSGI. This contract involves Migration and a y2k conversion at the same time. Futher shows the ability of ConSyGen's technology.. ALSO a 3 million line contract is not considered "no big deal". For a company with a small burn rate as ConSyGen, it is a BIG DEAL. Millennium - 1.4 million lines converted without any single line of code being converted by a programmer. one of the first, if not the first ever, project that was started, finished and successfully tested. SCBI - our alliance partner who has a client list of many Fortune 500 companies. They use CSGI's toolset. AGISS - Has received two successful pilots from CSGI and they will use the CSGI toolset for projects they are awarded. Chase Technology - formerly ALYD's partner who now chose to go with CSGI. They will be using the CSGI toolset for their clients. Now I know you were just trying to do the best you can and not to mislead anyone, but now that you have been brought up to date, I am sure it won't happen again (yea right!).
