Get the consultants in!!!!!!!!!!!!one
“Sam”, told us that in 1985 he built an employee retirement plan app around a Lotus 123 spreadsheet running on an IBM PC-XT.
“Much later, in 2005, I got a call from an old coworker, now CIO of the company,” The call was to let him know that the PC was about to be retired.
“The same PC-XT and dot matrix printer had been calculating and printing retirement account statements for 20 years! And it was actually still working flawlessly,” Sam says. “The CIO said they never saw a need to replace it because it was fast and accurate.”
Only outsourcing to a financial services company brought about the box's demise.
????Eh????
Well that sounds sure to save them a few bob -------------------------->
