Current and former IBMers have confirmed to The Register that the migration, 18 months in the making, has been a disaster.
"I feel bad for bringing this to the press but I'm afraid that I'm only one of the many thousands at Big Blue who are utterly disgruntled at the moment," one employee told us. "If we can't even handle our own cloud migration program then why would any customer trust us?"
The incident has spilled out onto social media as IBMers vent their frustration. "Every IBMer has descended into a dark, chaotic pit of not being able to access email or calendars for the past 3 days…. wondering where we are??" lamented one IBM designer via a now-deleted tweet.
We've been told that email service has been intermittent for the past four or five days, and not everyone has been affected in the same way. Lack of access has been shorter for some – one source told us email was back after two days of downtime.
Yikes! It's just another example into why IBM lost out on so many things over th epast 30+ years…
IBM's company-wide email migration, 18 months in the making, has left many employees unable to use email or schedule calendar events for several days
