We migrated to boost performance and to reduce help desk costs. Now we have the high availability provided by OpenVMS clustering and the low support costs and ease of use provided by a standard Microsoft desktop. The pain of migrating from one generation of computer technology to another can be excruciating. Users lose data. Familiar work habits no longer work.
Frustrations mount and often it's the IT manager and the help desk that feel the heat.
And if it's like most such migrations, that pain doesn't go away quickly. One remedy for migration pain is OpenVMS . This is important to organizations looking to boost hardware performance, preserve software investments, simplify their computing environments, and standardize on a Microsoft desktop. They can also receive unified support from a single source, bringing training time and migration costs to a minimum. And a month after the migration was finished, calls to the help desk dropped to half of what they had been prior to when the migration began.
