Having said that, the Council still had mainframe computers until very recently, though the second one was only there to provide DR for the first. I haven't a clue which applications they were supporting as all of the big corporate systems were running on other platforms by then. 'Twas me that provided the PM support for making the thing Y2K compliant in 1998/99.
The Council mainframe was shut down on the 28th April 2015. The only system that had been using the mainframe prior to that was the in-house Social Care system which was replaced towards the end of 2014. The mainframe was left running after it was replaced that so that the data could be archived off.

The logo 'The Owl' was the result of a computer section competition in 1986. I was Facebook friends with the winner until a few years ago when I said something about Cilla Black he didn't appreciate.

Apparently she was not the nicest of people when off stage. Especially when flying, said to be vile to the cabin crew.I have shunned family for negative comments about Cilla. So fully understand this.
