IBM: Watson, What Email Service Should Big Blue Use?
July 6, 2021
Watson, yes, you, IBM Watson. What mail system should IBM use? I am waiting… in the meantime:
This is a one liner offered at lunch by one of my DarkCyber researchers. This individual finds IBM amusing. I, on the other hand, feel for the company.
“IBM’s 18 Month Company Wide Email System Migration Has Been a Disaster, Sources Say” may not be 100 percent spot on. However, I believe it is indeed possible that the former Big Dog of computing may have itself swimming in an Olympic sized pool filled with Schwartzs Kosher Dill Pickles.
The write up reports:
“Outlook won’t work with the new system, IBM Notes won’t work and the online email called Verse has now gone down,” a tipster told us. “Everyone has been affected and no fix is in sight.”
The write up adds:
a blog post to IBM’s internal network w3 said the migration had been planned for 18 months and that everything should go fine provided everyone follows the instructions emailed to them. Evidently, this did not happen.
Now back to my question: Watson, what email service should Big Blue user?
Answer: Proton Mail. Are you sure?
