Re: iSeries Security in Computerworld

Don't put all the blame on 1 company, I still fondly remember all the money
I made because a company hired a "BIG NAME CONSULTING COMPANY" to do a study
to determine the best MRP/ERP package for them.  After 6 months of reviews,
meetings, reports, etc etc low and behold they picked the one they were
"affiliated" with and brought in 6+ consultants from out of town to do the
install and modifications.  After 6 months of that they hired the small
local consulting firm I worked for to come in and finish it.  Me and 2 other
people (one part time 20-30 hrs a week) finished (well not really, it was
more undo their changes and make the ones the company really wanted) in 6
weeks and we charged less than 1/2 per hour (plus no hotel,food or other
expenses) of what they did.

I will be nice and not name names, because we may have to do
business with them again in some future reality, and the
consultancy company does have a heck of a lot of extremely
competent people.  I will give you some clues ... we recently
get a call from them.  They say they been studying lots of
different ERP because BPCS has some serious problems & they
invite us to a seminar about what they found out about
superior alternatives.  They studied nothing, they not
explaining pros & cons of alternatives, they really in a deal
with Microsoft to persuade all their AS/400 customers to
leave IBM and go on some vastly inferior ERP on .NET.  This
same company was formerly a business partner of both SSA and
IBM.
