On his way to deliver the keynote at a downsizing conference, George Schussel took a side trip to visit Pacific IBM Employees Federal Credit Union (PACIBM) in San Jose. This visit to PACIBM, a mid sized, full service bank, allowed him to see a very successful example of downsizing a mainframe application to a PC/LAN environment. The project’s goals were very aggressive and successful. In particular the bank successfully downsized their toughest application first – the on line transaction processing backbone of banking operations. This article summarizes Schussel’s findings.
