RE: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

Very true.  In general, I have to admit to having a general problem with
many consulting firms (www.despair.com Consulting - If you are not part
of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the
problem).  However, it is geared towards the big guys (with Global
Services, anyone related to the Big 6, CAP-Gemini, etc. at the top).

It just seems to me that things being recommended are overly complex and
ultimately without real substance.  In many cases it is the consultants
and experts making it so.  Moreover, as we have lamented before in most
cases the System i is the simpler answer.  I think we need to develop a
business computing 101 and that we start with a module on business
logic.  Hey, isn't that an oxymoron?

Good stuff. I did find it extremely ironic that the Bullfighter software

originated with Do Little, Touche.  They're one of the worst offenders
in 
terms of business idiocy in general, and in terms of pushing people to 
abandon the iSeries in particular.
