without starting a long-winded
discussion and a bunch
of muck raking ... even IBM now conceeds that the
homegrown strategy that many have taken - running
mercator as a replacement to the websphere translator
- is its own best of breed. most companies
buy ibm
products for the name, reputation and comfort. not to
mention that is runs on ibm hardware :)
since your employer spent boucoup bux for that
product, you better either use it, figure out how to
use it, or have a good explanation why you're not
using it. the last guy that i know who didn't use a
million dollar translator that a certain bank
purchased is now selling hot dogs on 47th and 3rd
(although he's much happier now.)
what translator are you running today?
