Re: Power: Was: Classes for IBMi/iSeries?

From: Dennis Lovelady
IBM won't announce numbers, but from my observations, the i

(referring to the OS and family here) footprint is fading, and has been for
many, many years.

(How many here have been involved in the migration *to* the i platform?
 Personally, I've never heard of even one....)  And that's a shame; I hope
my observation is incorrect.

We're developing an IBM i product for K-12 schools. We're interested in serving students, parents, teachers, and administrators. We converted 1 school to our package this year, and will likely have 1 more by the end of the year. I think the product will reach a point of critical mass as at some point next year, in terms of functionality, and we hope to convert a lot more.

My current job is to eliminate three more System i units from the face
of the earth, and one more significant company irrevocably off of the i
platform.

Would you be willing to elaborate? What applications are you migrating to another platform? And what's driving it?
