- Howdy:
-
- Our organization has decided (at long last) that we need to
- modernize our development environment, and I have been charged
- with putting together the master plan.
-
- The plan needs to include configuration management, backups,
- as well as development tools (debuggers, compilers, etc.),
- maintenance, system configuration, network operations, etc.
-
- We have a scattered collection of VAXen running VMS, Ultrix,
- and System V; PCs running MSDOS and OS/2; and Sparcstations
- running BSD. We have one DEC VMS Alpha machine, and we're
- getting another with OSF/1. Most are tied together with
- various TCP/IP packages or DECNET.
-
- We don't have much experience using CASE tools or in object
- oriented methodology.
-
- If anyone has ideas about how to approach this, I would like
- to hear about them. I realize the solutions will be very
- specific to our particular environment and politics, so what
- I'm looking for most are approaches, items to consider,
- checklists, etc., as well as things you have seen work well.
-
- If there have been articles previously posted to the network
- addressing this topic, I'd be interested in the reference.
-
- Pleas email and I'll summarize. Thanks.
