Re: What software IBM uses

It's been a year since I was at Rochester but when we were there we were
informed that all IBM worldwide manufacturing facilities (i, p, x, z, etc.)
were running on iSeries bunkered in Rochester.  The manufacturing software
was MAPICS.  I think it was running on a cluster of 3 systems - failover,
global usage, etc.
