The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Don't overlook the "plug & run" web capabilities of
the i hardware, you can have your "web cake" and keep
i too.... we have web applications that run on the i system,
but use the i database structure to house all the data...
best of both worlds....

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?
