Accomplishments past period:

  to TSM IBM ESS. All agreed tha we can move forward with mainframe
  connectivity to IBM ESS with additional multi-system testing added to
  project plan. Plans are to allocate space on the ESS for TSM mainframe
  utilization to save on mainframe disk maintenance costs. Mainframe
  ESCON adapters ordered and received.

  IBM ESS. IBM ESS received and installation of IBM ESS hardware

  ATL upgrade targeted for early January.

Milestones completed:
---------------------
- None this month

Issues:
-------

  migration periods.

- Who will deal with customer followup issues during user migration?
  Help Desk does not have enough EFT to do this.

Goals for next month:
---------------------
- Install SUN Server and SAN switch hardware.

- Install ESS ESCON adapters to allow for mainframe conectivity.

- Continue to work with IBM Business Partner on ESS/SAN implementation.
