Request for assistance

[alucas@xxxxxxxxxx]

I am working with an AS/400 customer that has a 530 for production and a
510 for development.  They have 2500 employees, approx $600 million in
sals; 3 plant locations that access the production box directly; 900 PCs
accessing the AS/400; 500-600 signons; 10 sales offices connected and 5
shipping depots.

Question:  Are there companies of simliar size that are using a development
box totally separate from the main AS/400 production system?   If so why?
If not why?

This customer would like to talk with customers on both sides of the
questions.

If you have advice and someone we can talk with, please email me at
alucas@us.ibm.com.  They must decide to go to the 700 or 800 series with
one or two boxes ASAP.

Thanks!!
