Well, because I am frustrated by how many people judge the IBM iSeries based on what they see on the green screen. People often forget that a system is composed of two fundamental parts; the hardware and the software. Guess what? There is nothing wrong with your iSeries hardware! In many cases it’s the applications that are being judged as modern or not. During this real-life customer case study you will see that everything is possible with an iSeries at the heart of your enterprise.]]>
