No Longer an IBM Partner, Randr Navigates the Open Source Track
by Alex Woodie

You don't need an expert economist to see that the AS/400 midrange market is not what it used to be. A once thriving market, it's now maybe a tenth of its previous size, and more resellers and software vendors leave every day. One of the former IBM AS/400 business partners that has evolved its business plan to suit the times is Randr, Inc., which has made a clean break with the traditional midrange, and moved to open source software.

Krengel Tech Eases XML Integration with DB2 Web Service Enabler
by Alex Woodie

Krengel Technology is days away from formally launching DB2 Web Service Enabler, a new piece of middleware designed to help System i (AS/400) shops expose DB2/400 data using XML. By doing the dirty work of handling outside XML-based Web services requests, converting them into SQL statements, and returning XML data via HTTP communication, Krengel Tech hopes the new software will make DB2/400-resident data more accessible to programs written in Java, PHP, and .NET--without a lot of programming.

QlikTech Welcomes Competition with IBM Cognos Express
by Alex Woodie

When IBM launched its in-memory multi-dimensional analysis Cognos Express product several weeks ago, it was paying a compliment of sorts to QlikTech, which has been tremendously successful selling its in-memory multi-dimensional BI product, QlikView, to small and mid size companies. But the folks at QlikTech do not sound tremendously worried that IBM is going to gobble up its share of the mid market any time soon, especially with the type of success that Hampton Hydraulics, an AS/400-based JD Edwards user, is having with QlikView.
