    Sounds familiar.
    In Holland they announced the ESU (Entrepenurial Support Unit).
    No HPS / SPS in it. But part of Digital Services.

    Has there been any integration on workers level ?? All I have
    seen the last five years is change of management structures.

| 2165.6 | Integrate at IC level = Yes, mostly | MAIL::LANGSTON | Doing my bit to help - VAXnotes at night | Fri Oct 23 1992 01:45 | 14 | 
|  |     I had the pleasure of managing a 'mixed' EIS and sales support unit
    from 1990-1991. Everyone was 52xx job coded. We did a fair amount of
    cross-over i.e. a resident would make sales calls and a sales support
    person would do 40-80 hours of consulting.
    
    For the last year, I've managed a 'mixed' Services unit with my old EIS
    people and a group of Cust. Service engineers. We are differently job
    coded now, 24xx and 52xx. We have made progress at integrating
    ourselves and acting as one organization. It has been especially
    helpful that one of my residents crosses over to help solve LORs
    (problems which have become Local Office Referred). And several of my
    engineers are mastering software skills, especially ULTRIX and DOS.
    
    Its not a complete integration, but it is happening and it has merit.

| 2165.7 | Perhaps better than... | BEAGLE::BREICHNER |  | Fri Oct 30 1992 10:57 | 10 | 
|  |     In VBO (Europe) I have (soon "have had") the pleasure to manage
    a Customer Support unit which became integrated into a larger
    EIS (ACT) group about a year ago.
    There were great plans to "jointly conduct new businesses" whilst
    continuing "classic support"....
    
    result: unit downsized  (from 26 to 10)
            continuing "classic support" only, till lights out in 5 months.
