Re: Annual Maintenance

My customer has paid $3K per year for their EDI translator that they've
used for 20 years, not one update. They only have one transaction, so I
wrote the translator in RPG for 856 for the price of one years maintenance.

The invoice that the vendor sends is ridiculous. No mention of the software
package name. Item#'s and price.

And then there's the ERP vendor charging 6 figures a year for license and
doing zero, absolutely no, maintenance on the code, just collecting the
fee.
Cheaper to rewrite it.
And BTW hire 20-somethings for the Linux front end and slowly assimilate
them into the IBM i borg.
