Ron,
My opinion is that IBM is just as bad now that they are 'cloud
eccentric'. (Yes, play on words, not a misspelling.)

Understanding TCO is extremely important, yet frequently overlooked. Management
sometimes doesn’t care or isn’t smart enough to determine it. My last boss only
cared about initial cost, which he could take to his boss and say “see, I saved
you $10,000” even though in 5 years he likely cost the company $50,000 in lost
productivity, downtime, or other issues he didn’t factor in. Of course, my last
boss was a Unix guy with zero knowledge of the mainframe and no desire to learn
or take recommendations from his mainframe staff of 5 who combined had almost
200 years of experience.

Does anyone out there know what is meant by the expression "Mainframe Modernization'
'? It seems to be catching on with the Bobs but when you ask exactly how they propose to
modernize their systems all you get is silence. As in if you don"know we shouldn't
even be talking about it.
Any ideas ? Or is it just more BS like 'cloud' or 'devops'?
