Poll Question #3

Currently the ClearPath MCP release includes most of the products needed to run a ClearPath MCP server. They are integrated and tested together. Some Unisys products and most partner products are released separately. How well does this work for your organization?

1. It works well as is.

2. We’d prefer that Unisys include more products in the ClearPath MCP release.

3. We’d prefer that Unisys break the ClearPath MCP release into several smaller releases that become available at different times. This will enable us to pick-and-choose what we use and do the integration ourselves.
