TED- >>> In my opinion, the CPWR/ALYD combined activity is a good concept. The main problem with offsite conversion 'factories' is that there is a tremendous amount of time wasted collecting the correct source code and copy books. By sending CPWR staff (or one of their services partners) onsite to help the client package the source code, a major stumbling block will be alleviated. <<< This issue was the major stumbling block for getting code into ALYD's factory in the 3rd quarter last year... ALYD,MTS and Compuware have worked the kinks out of the "code packaging" now.... As for Compuware MVS sites... isn't somewhere around 10,000 sites? Stay tuned...<ggg> Tech Master

Re: Not having enough staff to convert Y2K problems for 1/2 the MVS sites around the world Yes, having tens of billions of lines of code just staring you in the face and not having the staff to remediate it is a major bummer. That's why ALYD and CPWR in their press release had to only settle for a billion (gg). BTW, several months ago here I talked about the fact that ALYD had promulgated SWAT teams that will descend upon clients with packaging problems and help them get it out the door. As you may recall, packaging problems were the reason why Q3 was not as profitable as it was supposed to be. Hey, Y2K is a new concept and at least ALYD learns from their mistakes. - Jeff
