Aside from management 'saying so', where there specific reasons which
supported the decision to place the tool on an "unreliable" pc?

A datamart is management's ultimate goal.
The tool (except for data extraction) CANNOT run on the iSeries,
management already decided it must be Windows based.
That means SQL Server for the database and the reporting tools on a
Windows server or client, again a management directive.
We're looking at a minimum of 40 GB of data in the data marts.
Currently, users create their own reports using Query/400 or Excel.

Interested in what solutions others have investigated and chosen.
