In the absence of an "I am AndyW" option

Unacceptable - please observe the house rules - I am AndyW or variant wildcard option in all polls, thanks.

What should I vote for if I dont have the slightest clue what we're talking about?

In the absence of an "I am AndyW" option, a large number, I think.

I did a gig on the ABN Basel II programme in 2006 - some of the systems were an absolute mutt although their intranet and knowledgebase was (in keeping with the analogy) the mutts-nuts.

Not good for British employees IMO, its virtually impossible to make a dutch permy redundent.

Apparently this wasnt an issue for Barclays who had announced 20,000 jobs to be axed at ABN "when" they take over!

Most likely they won't merge all of the business - the other scottish bank is still running several different systems in their treasury operation after merging with Howard's lot.

It's not being integrated into RBS, it's going to be asset stripped by a consortium.

The staff at Barclays HQ must be mightily relieved.

Anyway poll of the day, what time frame in days do you think they will work to to determine which of the banks systems they will use, considering they have many overlaps and can only go with 1 ? . I have already been told a figure

where's the WGAS option?

Hopefully the new owners will move the job offshore where they belong, and city boys will get a P45.

Will it be as big as the NatWest integration project?

Will it be the natives/imports/offshore chaps who get all the work?

Well from my understanding ABN Amro is a dog, and there's a reason it's getting bought out ...
