Re: Job Accounting Package

You're probably right.  But in that case you would need a couple of tools:
 traditional and Domino.  Still, what would the traditional do with the
QNOTES stuff?  Charge them to the accounting code associated with QNOTES?

Rob,

Doesn't Notes/Domino have a task that will help you with usage-based
billing?  I'll be darned if I can remember what it's called (probably
something simple like BILLING).

Don't know about the other two.

I am kind of curious to the philosophy of charge back.  Granted, in our
situation you would think we would be ideal for a charge back.  Multiple
independent divisions, (with separate shareholders) all running on one
iSeries.  However, if you penalize one person for using an interactive
screen for looking something up versus a printout that is three days old -
is that conducive to the long term goals?

And how do these charge back methods handle non traditional programs?  I
mean server programs that always run under a particular user profile?  For
example:
- QNOTES for Lotus Notes / Domino
- and the various ones used for odbc and it's kin
- smtp
