We are one of this countries larger AS400 installations. I heard yesterday that we are going to migrate to Intel technology. Why ? RPG ?
This is a problem for some of our prospects who would prefer Java based solutions but the main reason is the AS400 which is too expensive thus rendering us less competitive. The migration will take some time , but all new stuff on theAS400 is now developed in Java so as to ease the migration burden later on.
