Why, Oh Why IBM?
Tags: IBM License Audit
I just spoke with a prospective customer. The last time we talked about a Domino 8.5.1 migration and some XPages development afterwards. Today I was told that IBM did a license audit recently. Not the fact that it took place but the way the auditors behaved irritated the CIO so much that he cancelled all projects involving IBM software and is considering alternatives now.
It is not the first time I heard that and it has been reported before. I wonder if this kind of feedback ever reaches responsible people at IBM and if they want to/can do anything about the way these audits are performed.
Thinking of the next call from a friendly IBM sales person to that CIO reminds me of this sketch.
