Re: Business replacement software..

A few thoughts...

1) What's the viability of the existing software package?  Will it need to 
be replaced?  Will it need to be re-written to native 400?  At what cost?
2) What are you spending today to keep these 436's in production? 
Manpower, HW maintenance, environmentals. etc.?
3) What's your time frame to cut over to a central server?  You can never 
start too early but you  can start too late on a project like this.
4) Can you do any software conversions/enhancements in house or must you 
engage an consultant?

Just a start...

Hello gang
                                 We have five Advanced system 36 machines 
still out in our branches, with a splendid record.
                                 Over the past several years, and because 
of the rapid acceleration in technology, the /36 solution
                                 is becoming less and less viable.
                                 I would very much appreciate any 
suggestions you might have with respect to the replacement, both 
                                 in terms of the HW and SW.
                                 I believe an OS400/ISeries replacement at 
these remote branches would be over-kill.
                                 A central ISeries, with the appropriate 
SW, and VPN was more in line with what I had in mind...
All suggestions welcome....
TIA
