RE: Query/400 Replacement

Take a peek at WOW from PlanetJInc.  Looks like it is exactly what you want
(though I don't know about the German requirement).

Subject: Query/400 Replacement

Hi List,

 

My company is looking for an alternative to Query/400. We're at the early
start of our evalution phase, and are looking for vendors and products which
could be interesting to us.

 

We're a System i ISV, which sells our ERP software to SMB. We intend to
resell this new software to our customers.

 

Our current situation is, that while Query/400 is suitable for most tasks,
young people don't like to learn it (especially since the rest of our
application system is entirely windows based), and Query/400 has some
deficiencies, which are currently workarounded by manually created SQL
queries.

 

What we're looking for is a more modern alternative, which allows people
without intrinsic IT knowledge to build queries against the database. We do
not have any specific requirements, other than that it must not be 5250
based.

 

*         Windows / Java / Browser Based 

*         Modern look & feel

*         Must run on 520 with 2GB RAM, 36GB Disk, 600CPW (this rules
out everything that has to do with WAS)

*         Shouldn't cost more than 10'000US$ for 5 concurrent users

*         Easy to learn, flexible

*         Available in German (not a must, but a very strong plus)

 

I would like to hear experiences with the product you have, but I'm also
interested in Vendor responses (Off-List)

 

Thanks in Advance,

 

Lukas Beeler
