Our largest iSeries is used for data warehousing.  We use the suite of
products from Showcase (division of SPSS).  The Showcase query client is
used against the data warehouse as well as production machines for ad hoc
queries.  Very simple, pretty intuitive I think.  The report generator is a
more sophisticated tool for report purposes.  Very powerful, not as easy to
use in my opinion.

The only problem that we have with the suite is that we are now more
interested in running things from your portal but we also prefer web based
clients and results.  The Showcase tools don't quite do this yet.....

We use these tools and the data warehouse to eliminate a lot of work and
make a lot of data available to people.
