As a s/w development shop which has been running Pilots for now, we are about to go into Production mode with several clients, requiring a series of expansions of our computing platform (J2E on W2K, MS SQL Server on W2K, MySQL on Linux, with Apache & Resin servers scattered about as well). The article has solidified what I was playing with - to create a staggered upgrade path over the next few months. I had no plans originally to deal with staffing issues. I do now!
Thanks again.

As with many TR publications, this attempts to scratch at a very large surface, but fails to address the nuts and bolts of the issue of capacity planning.
I take it that you can provide some of this ? I'd welcome the information. Thanks.
Replace "capacity planning" with any number of other topics and you have a generic article on another topic as well. In the future, please take the time to right an indepth article instead of just the bullet points.
Hello,
Maybe I'm a little slow in the uptake, but I fail to see the relevance of this document.
Let me start by saying I am sure Harris Kern (the author) is very proficient at his field of specialty and is highly sought after.
The document seems to change pace mid stream, it begins with the textbook "Know the customer's business needs" and then migrates into "Get to know your suppliers".
I often work with a range of outside help (I'll admit it: I don't know everything, but what I don't know I know the people that do), especially for third party equipment and services.
Anticipate nonlinear cost ratios????
Anyway, it is obvious the Author wanted to share some valuable information, maybe instead of trying to tackle the wholeprocess, he should take a point from his own document:
Point 1: Start small.
As a professional in the workflow/document management game the 'plan' is to look at one process at a time as opposed to do everything, and I think by trying to be all to everyone the document falls a little short and doesn't offer anything valid.
Anticipate non linear cost ratios????
Again, I am sure the Author is very skilled in his field and has a wide range of skills and knowledge. I just feel that he hasn't been able to concentrate on a single point.
And that's what I have to say about that.
Regards,
David Thomson
