KeyCorp spent $130,000 to get its Linux strategy off the ground during the fourth quarter of last year and the first of this year. Only about $10,000 to $15,000 was needed for initial training classes for staff Unix engineers. The rest went to Red Hat for helping the company do a total-cost-of-ownership study and develop a good open-source migration strategy. "Since then, this has very much been a bootstrap operation, with each successful five to 10 implementations driving demand for additional cross-training of our Unix staff and that additional cross-training enabling us to implement even more systems," says Bob Dutile, executive VP of Key Technology Services, KeyCorp's technology division.
