At the Las Vegas DECUS Symposium, we are going to run two focus groups
about migrating to DEC OSF/1 AXP.  They are different in that the
platform of origin is different.

The first focus group is to discuss migrating from Ultrix MIPs to DEC
OSF/1 AXP.  In this session we would like to discuss with
representative of no more than 10 current Ultrix customers their
perceptions and experiences of this migration. We would like to get a
sense of where in the ease-of-migration spectrum they believe their
applications fall, where they believe they may encounter problems, how
are they currently being assisted and informed of the migration, and
how we might improve our migration assistance.

The second focus group is to discuss migrating from VAX/VMS to DEC
OSF/1 AXP.  In this session we would like to discuss with
representatives of no more than 8 current VMS customers the issues
involved in changing from the VMS to OSF computing environment.  We
would like to hear where they believe the largest issues are for this
migration, which pieces of the VMS environment need to emulated - which
do not, what experiences have they had with third party environment
packages, for what tasks do they rely on clusters, what tools would
they want to use.

We intend to have a very interactive 2 hour session for each group led
by a set of questions we will provide.

If you are interested in participating in one of these focus groups
(and remember that attendance is limited), please get in touch with the
following individuals (I will be out of the country prior to the
symposium - Kurt):

	Paul Steeves at steeves@decvax.dec.com
	Sharon MacDonald at sharon@decvax.dec.com

Hope to see some of you in Las Vegas!
