At HPWorld'02 I went to a session given by the IT manager of a
payroll services firm that migrated from the 3000 to hp-ux/9000
using Oracle. They had a successful migration and are glad they
did the migration. BTW - they migrated prior to the EOL announcement.

I also know of others who have migrated but who have asked they not
be publicly discussed. Usually this is for competitive reasons and
I know causes HP and others (partners) problems with being able to
point to actual examples of migrations. That then is a problem for
those trying to evaluate the services/features/etc of a particular
migration solution.

I think the next 2-3 years of Solution Symposium and HPWorld events
will be full of in-process and/or 'we did it' presentations.
