List -

I have a former client which currently runs their insurance applications
(claims and underwriting) on a System i. I helped with their original
implementation of an AS/400 COBOL-based applications back in the 1990's.
They are currently involved in a software search for a new application, and
would prefer an IBM i solution because of their investment in infrastructure
and staff.

As far as I know, most insurance software vendors have migrated away from
the IBM i platform.

I have suggested that if they have current IBM Power hardware, however, that
they could preserve their hardware investment by using a package which could
run on AIX or Linux, and from what I recall in the recent IBM announcement,
the Oracle database actually performs better on Power hardware than on Sun
hardware.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
