RE: iSeries vs. Unix vs. SQL Server vs. Oracle

So, did the light bulb go on, or was the message lost? I'm sure that 
you've seen my posts about a client who started an Oracle project 3.5 
years ago because the 30 (now 40) something CFO wanted GUI. Their new DBA 
(the 3rd in 3.5 years) told me yesterday that he thinks they'll be lucky 
to have everything ready by January 1, 2005. In the meantime, the 400 
keeps chugging along. We did a proof of concept of the newlook product for 
the accounting department troops, and they liked it, but they fear that in 
order to save face, upper management will continue forward with Oracle. 

IBM really missed the boat here. I guess a $600 million per year 
construction company isn't big enough to go after.
