Subject: RE: Where can I find a list of current IBM i companies?

A few years ago (2-3) I was having a discussion with a few of the faculty
who teach computer science at the college I work for and their contention
was that no one was using IBM midrange systems. So I did some research and
compiled the attached list. I did not attempt to validate the list by
contacting every company and asking them to confirm so it is possible there
are some errors on the list and some missing.

Turning the table on that conversation is doable.

Make your own company understand and value the power of the IBM i. It's
really an awareness thing. Our own CEOs could very well be the person
sitting over cocktails talking about their own machine and system. Even if
the machine isn't new, it's not like it's sitting idle with no development,
right? I'm sure there are some CEOs who are keen on the latest and
greatest, but most CEOs are also keen on ROI.

Sure, easier said than done, but it can be done.

<< I would be equally wary of jumping to the newest, shiniest thing.>>

In my travels over the last nearly 40 years in the business, I have
frequently encountered the "Me too" denizens of upper management.

This usually entails decisions made by the MBAM (management by airline
magazine) method, the "conversation the boss had with another boss over
cocktails in the first class section of an airplane" method, or (shudder)
"My fraternity brother has this system, so we need one too" method.

Been there, seen it.

No matter how good or bad the iseries may be, the city gov would
probably be best served with a platform that is running many other
city government organizations.

I believe many other cities still do use the i.

With iseries, you are re-inventing the wheel for each of these [other
systems that must be integrated] and it is enormously expensive. With
a platform that is used by thousands of other cities, it is simply a
matter of following a setup procedure from the
vendor/county/state/fed.

I agree with the premise that reinventing the wheel is expensive, but you
haven't provided any evidence that sticking with the i necessarily entails
reinventing the wheel for things. You also haven't provided evidence that
going to some other platform doesn't *also* entail reinventing the wheel
for things.

They are and should be concerned with what other CITIES are running,
which is why they want to drop iseries (as stated by you, other cities
apparently have moved off iseries as heard at city leadership
conferences).

I think it does make sense for a city to be more concerned with other
cities than with businesses. Mike never said they (the IT group he works
for) know for sure what the upper management knows or has heard; it was
just a working theory. I would not be surprised if plenty of cities do
think of the i as outdated, and some have surely migrated away from it. I
also would not be surprised if (as Mike was
wondering) some cities' upper management *think* they have migrated, but
haven't really. (For example, if a city now has a browser interface to
some important functions that they used to do on green screens, it could
well be that they still have their i.)

So if you want to keep working for the city and NOT be grouped with
the legacy platform, then EMBRACE the search for the new system and be
a cheerleader for it.

Well, this comment has value to the extent that it attempts to counter
"unjustified" loyalty or attachment to existing systems. I would be
equally wary of jumping to the newest, shiniest thing.

The thing to embrace is a sincere examination of the situation. That is,
be open. Be rational. Be objective. There are definitely advantages to
platforms other than the i. There are advantages to the i. There are
advantages to staying with what you have (be it i or something else). Are
the advantages of a new system big enough to justify the cost of changing
to it? In most cases, it's impossible to have perfect knowledge of all
these things, but at least you can strive to avoid being closed-minded.
