End user experience with iSeries Business Intelligence

Is there anyone from the end user community that could share their experience with implementing a Business Intelligence solution on an AS400?

We are a small AS400 shop running on a file based system. We currently do not have a data warehouse.

Any insights or lessons learned that could be shared would be appreciated.

Thank you.
