Goal 1. Hardware and Software - Policy on corporate computer platforms
“WRD will evolve from its current computing environment, that includes Data General Unix (DG/UX), to a non-DG/UX, mixed NT/SUN environment that will continue beyond 2001.”
No new enhancements possible on DG platform
NT/SUN allows development and more performance
DG/UX and Ingres contracts end in Sept. 2001
WRD not now prepared to commit to NT-only
NT/SUN are essential for corporate software
