WEBINAR SERIES
Mainframe Migration at the NYSE: A Webinar Series

Clerity Solutions is conducting a series of webinars with SIAC. SIAC develops, implements, and operates IT systems for the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In the third quarter of 2006, almost 1.6 billion shares traded on the NYSE in an average trading day.

On January 25th, 2007 Clerity hosted the first of a series of webinars that provides you the unique opportunity to follow Francis Feldman, Vice President, Shared Data Center at the Securities Industry Automation Corporation (SIAC) and his team, as they migrate off a 1600 MIPS mainframe system with the assistance of Clerity Solutions.

If you are considering a migration due to rising maintenance costs, shrinking budgets, growing workloads, or other factors, this is a webinar that should not be missed.

Part 1, The Decision, covered SIAC’s decision making process, the team established to address the project, anticipated migration benefits, and project steps completed to date.
