We're seeing the migration to Office 365 as well by many customers for
email
based processed.

Time to bypass gold old MSF and put him out to pasture.

I don't know if Pete was and IBM Business Partner, but if he was and his
product was registered in the Global Solutions Directory I don't believe
IBM
would have said "hey, we have an ISV that can help save a LOT of time!"
instead of offering the timeframe they did.

Even though IBM has us ISVs register our software and keep it sort of up to
date in their Global Solutions Directory Listing, they still seem to have
zero interest in sending customers our way or even use it as a resource
themselves.

I've seen this specifically with IBM i customers moving to Office 365 for
email. IBM's SMTP won't handle that (without some serious rigging, a PC
proxy, etc), but instead of sending them my way (or to any other ISV with a
viable solution) they give them a quote for so many hours to help "solve
the
problem".

Go figure. :)

I remember getting a 90 hour estimate from the IBM software to run the
conversion. Pete's product made it happen in a little over 30 hours.
The client was able to convert in a weekend, and saved 60 hours of my
time to babysit the conversion.
