SSA Delivers New ERP LX Platform for iSeries
by Alex Woodie

It's been two-and-a-half years since SSA Global first started talking about plans to converge its growing stable of OS/400-based ERP suites into a single product with a single code base. The company finally delivered on that promise last week when it announced the general availability of ERP LX, a new ERP suite that may look familiar to BPCS users, and which is intended to be the ERP system that the company's BPCS, PRMS, KBM, PRISM, and Infinium customers eventually migrate to.

by Dan Burger

Computer Lab and BOSaNOVA Bolster Thin Clients
by Alex Woodie

Now that IBM has decided to wind-down non TCP/IP networking and stop selling Twinax adapters for the iSeries, it might be time to bite the bullet and make the move to a TCP/IP and thin client infrastructure, if you haven't already done so.
