NEW GENERATION SOFTWARE

SHOULD YOU USE DB2 WEB QUERY?
Ask yourself these questions:

 

1. Do I have time to rename all our files in a new structure on the IFS before we can query them?
2. Would a tool with Windows, Web, and 5250 user interfaces satisfy even more of our users?
3. Would it save time to have integrated e-mail and FTP for report distribution?
4. Can it output directly to MS Access, CSV, TXT?
5. Since everyone who creates and runs queries counts as a named user, how much will we really need to spend to meet our needs?

 

Know your options BEFORE you upgrade!
