4.0 PURPOSE:         To announce discontinuance of Outbound.

5.0 BACKGROUND:  Outbound has been used for many years by State Agencies who access the State’s mainframe computer systems. This product provided the ability to schedule and track file transfers between the mainframe and other processing environments.  Over the years its usage has diminished to the point that the cost of maintaining the product out ways its usefulness. 

6.0 DETAIL:    Effective 3/1/2009, DISC will discontinue the use of Outbound within the mainframe processing environment. All applications using Outbound must determine and implement alternative solutions by the effective date.
