Re: iSeries revenue plummets

And the purchasing guy makes the decision about what software and
hardware to acquire, and what technology to embrace?

And really, the web programmer *should* be making things look pretty,
and the business rules guy should be writing the code for the MRP
calcs. One of the things on the System i is that we (programmers) do
the business logic and the data access and the presentation. Which we
can do, primarily because the presentation isn't pretty. It's
functional, maybe more functional than a web page, but it's not
pretty.

In a lot management/financial types they are, because the perception is a
System i programmer can ONLY do green screen and you are paying for OLD
skills.

"Show me a web programmer who can discuss the calculations necessary for
an
MRP run. I have yet to see one who could produce a balance sheet."

Agreed but again to "those in charge" it's more important to make the
results from that MRP run or balance sheet, look pretty.......
