In trying to dissuade mgmt thinking of OS400 as an old and fading technology, I have been looking for information or figures on the percentage of total I.S. dollars spent for AS/400 I-Series hardware and software, vs. other platforms. For example, 28 % spent on NT: 35 % on Unix; 15 % on OS390; 8 % OS400 . (As a % of total I.S. budget) You get the idea. The thought process I am dealing with , is that AS/400 is on the backside of the technology bell curve. I have searched IBM, sites and many others but have had little success...... I would also be interested any articles, links , charts , etc - that have information on any of the following: * percentage Fortune 500 companies utilizing AS/400's in some form * total number of AS/400's sold :(upwards of 600K , last time I read) * Sales numbers VRS . other platforms. I would like to be able to show, from an independent source, that AS/400 is holding it's market share. ( I hope that is the case ) All responses appreciated.
