Here is a communication from the French VMSgenerations user group.
During our recent event « Rendez-vous autour de VMS » we decided to
identify users needs regarding applications and tools. From a question
regarding the Oracle client, we heard that users requests to Oracle for
updating the client on recent versions of the database were currently
not sufficient to justify the investment.
We therefore created a new survey focused on applications running today
on VMS.
(Earlier in 2021, we launched a preceding survey on the use of VMS. A
link to the summary of this first survey is at the bottom of this message).
The answers to this applications oriented survey should allow for the
following :
- Let VSI get a better view of their installed base needs
- Help ISVs to better understand VMS customers expectations
- Identify needs and trigger initiatives (ISVs, opensource)
- Allow everyone to know if others have the same needs and
encourage communities of interest
(We plan to present a synthesis of the surveys answers)
Next event « Rendez-vous autour de VMS »
Our next user group meeting will take place in April.
We plan to cover the following subjects :
- Services and competencies around VMS
- How to react when expertise goes away and how to allow
enterprises to continue with VMS
- Illustration by recent customers projects
- VMS on x86 : first try and portings
- Survey on the use of VMS : answers synthesis
- Survey on applications : first results

Still available : survey on the use of VMS
If you did not answer to this survey on your use of VMS you can still do
it and/or send it to anyone interested

The two surveys are available in French and in English
We decided to propose an English version of our surveys in order to
reach a broader audience.
The french VMS community reacted well to our first survey on the use of
VMS. We hope to get to English speaking users for our two surveys. This
will help to create links between users and make answers more significant.

now, we’ll publish soon an english version)
