RE: SAP on AS400?

 
Yes, I too know Masood Ahmed from COMTECH.  He is good with getting the
project started and on track.

13.)  I would immediately start bugging IBM and other iSeries BP for the
straight scoop.  You get some big 4 type of firm or someone like Anderson,
CAP Gemini, etc. the first thing you will be doing is defending your
platform.  There is a lot of misinformation out there (ala AMR) as well as
bias.  If you don't get this you will be on the outside looking in.  Like an
idiot I've misplaced the name of my SAP America contact (I need to keep that
in my pocket).  At IBM I'm not sure who to contact - although I'd personally
go to Shearer.  Perhaps Mike Prochaska is a good starting point.
At Comtech (www.comtech-group.com) I would contact Greg Baumeyer (my former
rep) or Masood Ahmed (SAP Product Manager).

14.)  Most SAP iSeries implementations are overseas.  SAP is more prevalent
and iSeries seems to have a good customer base there.

Sorry for the length, can you tell my level of interest and passion on this?
