The time is now to migrate remaining RISC/UNIX environments to an open systems environment. The benefits are clearly known by almost all organizations, and yet they have been resistant to migrate parts of their IT infrastructure to Linux. If the benefits, especially in terms of cost savings, performance and efficiency, and flexibility are well known, then the issues must be with the actual migration efforts themselves.

This is understandable, given that these RISC/UNIX environments run key business and mission-critical applications in many organizations. For those concerned about making the migration to open systems, there are known best practices and resources to help all organizations determine what to migrate when, and how to do it. The successes far outweigh the risks, and every day spent waiting is another day of missed economic and performance opportunity.
