Several years ago a company I worked for moved their HR/Payroll applications from an AS/400 to an Intel based application (GUI and "security" were the reasons-course IT knows nothing). 9 months later we moved back to the AS/400 based application. The payroll clerk went from taking most Friday's as a vacation day under the /400 solution (she had been there forever) to working 70+ hours a week and no vacation time under the Intel based solution. Data was constantly being lost by the system, nothing ever tied out, the different PC's could never communicate with the server with the central database and processing payroll took at least twice as long. That's not to mention dedicating one IT team member about half time to keep the application running. The AS/400 application had very little IT support required. Support for the Intel application was horrible. A fix might break 10 other things and take 2-3 weeks to given to us. Help desk seemed to take their time returning calls. The payroll clerk suffered from an infection shortly after the Intel system. Names have been withheld to protect the guilty. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Jim Hawkins
