This makes me sick! Thousands of jobs were outsourced and now the end of the platform? Say it ain't so!

I'm not sure if IBM corporation really cares about the platform the way they
sed to, considering the Global Services arm makes a big pile of money
ssisting customers to get up and running with non iSeries systems.
As long as the share price is good, Armonk is happy.

ubject: IBM BP's that used to be ISERIES now migrating to windows ?
Does anyone know how IBM is dealing with BP's that at one time designed apps
tc sold primarily for AS400/ISERIES but are now migrating away from the
latform only to migrate the customer base as well. Curious to know A) how
uch of this is going on and B) is it a trend that is starting to gain
raction and C) and what IBM's stance on something like this might be. I
ust read an article where a municipality had been on AS400 for close to 20
ears and now they will be jumping ship to the windows flagship product that
hey have only to be shown a bunch of bells and whistles that they want that
hey could of had several years ago on system i.
