IBM AS/400: The Challenges of Running ERP on a 20-Year Old Computer System
10/13/2009 11:10:00 AM

TEC recently conducted an enterprise resource planning (ERP) selection project for a company using AS/400 computer systems—the venerable old workhorses first introduced by IBM in 1988. We were struck—as you will be too—at how “vintage” the user environment is compared with today’s modern systems. In today’s feature blog post, read about the difficulties in running a modern ERP system on a 20-year old computer—one that still uses green-black screen monitors.

Today’s second feature blog post offers you a handy roadmap for successful software selection that comes from a rather off-beat perspective. You’ll see what we mean when you get there.

With the high-cost of ERP updates and modifications, did you ever wonder what other companies are investing in terms of money, time, and effort to keep their ERP systems up to date? Find out in today’s feature white paper.
