Where I live in the SMB world, his statement sounded legit. As you point out, it starts to fall apart when dealing with larger enterprises.

FYI, your wrong with this statement with respect to our situation:
Just yesterday a comment on this list included "Retirement is just
around the corner." They hear "we're moving off the platform" and guess
what!? That should finish right about retirement. Perfect!
Here's the problem...there's a bunch of folks on this list who work in the "consulting" world. That's great, I am happy for you and I'm sure you make good money. But you should be careful about painting with such a wide brush.
Those of us who are "peons", working in larger multi-million dollar industries, have no say whatsoever when C-level leadership changes and decisions are made that dictate a different IT direction. At this point, you can toss out any buzzword you wish as a reason for these changes...
In our case, there is no intermediate leadership that had the ability and backing to "step up to the plate" and make a wild swing in support of staying on this platform.
Anyone who doesn't understand this level of political structure in the "big business" world...really needs to get out a little more often.
I hope some of you are able to help save the smaller companies...before they reach this level of ignorance with regards to a strategic direction.
