[Info-vax] Gartner report on VMS future.

[Jeremy Begg]

Hi,

I too received this report from Sujatha with interest.  My only complaint 
was that the report didn't include my company as a provider of Itanium 
porting services, despite us being a DSPP member (OpenVMS consulting and 
software development).

(For those who are interested: we've run a VMS Integrity server here since 
2003.  We've assisted a number of customers with porting code to IA64 in 
various programming languagues including MACRO, C, Pascal, COBOL & DIBOL. 
We moved a complete customer environment last year and we are about to move 
two more customers from Alpha to Integrity across four sites, with D/R 
capability as part of the migration plan.)

No offence VAXman but making contact with you via email seems to be next to 
impossible.  So maybe you were added to Sujatha's list but her messages are 
being dropped.
