Cingular CIO: Consolidating 50 Million Users Is Not Fun

Think you have a headache at the end of a long day? Try integrating Cingular with AT&T Wireless. First, you have to deal with 2,500 terabytes of data. Then consolidating 1,040 overlapping applications. All while keeping the company going 24x7. Sorta like changing an engine on a 747 while in the air. God bless!
