HP Greenbook: BASE24 upgrade options

Check out some great analysis by HP about the BASE24 displacement market.

Money line:

The Standish Group estimates that BASE24-eps migration coupled with a platform migration (IBM System Z9), both conducted within one year, would only be completely successful in 18 percent of the cases.

As my good friend Mitch Green of Distra says: ACI and IBM have given everyone in the payment systems industry a huge gift.
