Hello, Dispatch community,
As
previously announced, Broadcom Software Group's
Dispatch product (r11.6 & r11.7) has been stabilized as of January 31, 2022.
Functionally stabilizing a product means there will be no new Versions, no new Releases, or further enhancements to this product. However, maintenance and support for this product will continue in accordance with your active maintenance contract for Dispatch.
Broadcom offers View / Deliver as a replacement product. View / Deliver is part of Broadcom's output management suite of products and provides many of the same and more features currently available in Dispatch. We encourage you to migrate to View / Deliver as soon as possible, so that you can fully use the features, functionalities, and enhancements that this new product has to offer. Take action!
- Strongly consider a migration to View and Deliver.
- Contact your Mainframe Business Specialist (MBS) if one is assigned to your account, or contact your account team.
- When you decide to migrate, our technical services and product management will meet with you and outline the migration process. Our services team aims to provide an efficient, with little to no cost, means to analyze and migrate your current Dispatch system. We will develop a View / Deliver configuration plan, a migration strategy, perform knowledge transfer and lead the actual migration using our two-phase approach. This will take you all the way through production to cut over. This approach aims to facilitate the migration quickly and with the confidence of risk mitigation.
Sincerely,
Ed Blazejewski
