[BESAdmin-Announcements] BigFix Protection - EOS announcement and Migration option

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

Dear IBM BigFix Customers,

If you have purchased the BigFix Protection (CPM) product, we would like to
get your attention to very important information related with the product.
IBM has announced End of Support for BigFix Protection, effective December
31, 2017. Existing BigFix Protection customers will get product support
until that date or the expiration of the current S&S contract.

To help you continue to get anti-virus protection, IBM has provided an
option for all existing BigFix Protection customers to migrate from BigFix
Protection to the Trend Micro OfficeScan product at no additional charge.
We highly recommend you to take advantage of this migration option to
migrate your Protection depoyment to OfficeScan as soon as possible.
Because migration may take some time, we suggest you to start the migration
several months before your S&S contract expires.  Please note after the
migration you will continue to get support for the migrated OfficeScan
product from Trend Micro.

Please refer to this blog for more details of the Protection EOS
annoucement and Migration program:

If you are interested in the migration, please contact your IBM account
representative or complete the attached Customer Information Sheet and send
it to Fergus Mulholland <MULHOFER at ie.ibm.com>, and we will work with Trend
Micro to start the migration for you.

Thank you for your attention to this annoucement.
