Eventually, yes, CIO's and the like are making the decisions *some* times
(ie. when a high profile project is set to use a non-company-standard
technology), but that is usually based on some sort of pilot project or
senior programmer recommendation. What I am saying is that a lot of these
suggested technology directions come from the bottom up and then the CIO
makes a decision (usually based on the name he sees the most in trade
rags).
But it could very well be that we have lived in completely different
scenarios, so I am not going to discount you words.

To me it seems like the CEO/MDs are deciding (not the developers). This
means (in some cases) goodbye to the iSeries (their opinion not mine).
Having conflict about the technology that should be run does not really
help
the case much either (IMHO), it simply makes them (the businesses)
technology agnostic (and go for the business solution). After that it is
not
in the hands of the developers as today's IT world is fast moving (and it
is
moving).
