Challenges of an Aging IT Workforce
Ron Noble, Director of CIBER's Unisys Technologies Group : 11 September 2009 / 10:02 AM : 0 
Many organizations, especially those still using mainframes to run their critical business applications, face the challenge of an IT workforce that’s approaching retirement age and an influx of recent CIS/MIS graduates that are ill prepared to support legacy applications and operating systems.

Mission-Critical Application Workloads Demand Predictable Performance
Ron Noble, Director of CIBER's Unisys Technologies Group : 05 June 2009 / 8:25 AM : 0
CIBER’s Unisys Technologies Group would like to start a dialogue with companies who are either planning (or who have already committed) to transition their mission-critical, back-end, “scale-up” workloads from proprietary RISC-based platforms to more cost-effective high-end, “big iron” industry-standard servers. If your company fits this profile, we would appreciate an opportunity to speak with you and your team.
For illustrative purposes, it might be helpful to expand upon a few concepts mentioned above:
