Tree Top Harvests an iSeries Portal from Enfish
by Alex Woodie
Tree Top Inc. was founded by Washington state apple growers in 1960 as a cooperative to process fruit and
provide financial stability. Today, more than 2,000 apple and pear growers are co-owners of Tree Top,
which has close to $300 million in sales and employs 1,300 people across the West.
After completing its Y2K conversion project, the grower's IT department established five
strategic initiatives to help guide the collective into the new millennium. One of those initiatives was to
build a companywide intranet, or an enterprise portal, to reduce the amount of paper in the
office and cut down on unstructured data clogging the shared network drive.

New iSeries Utility Addresses FTP Security
by Alex Woodie
The iSeries is recognized as one of the most secure servers available on the commercial market today. Its
object-oriented design is virtually immune to today's viruses, and its five levels of built-in security gives
systems administrators a great deal of control over which functions are available to various classes of users.
However robust iSeries security is, the OS/400 platform was conceived long before today's Internet
protocols were in widespread use. Without properly securing TCP/IP, FTP, and other network access
points, your AS/400 or iSeries could be left as vulnerable as that Windows NT server down the hall.

The iSeries Drives New ASP-based Business Intelligence Offerings
by Alex Woodie
Though the application service provider (ASP) model isn't all it was cracked up to be, some companies are
finding it an excellent medium for delivering iSeries-based business intelligence and analysis to their
customers.
Analytical and Information Services is an Orlando, Florida, company that helps destination resorts and five-
star hotels crunch data about their guests so they can keep them coming back. The 360 Group is a
San Rafael, California, organization that helps companies in many industries create marketing plans and
manage their customer relationships more effectively. Both companies are working to build new analytical
offerings that leverage their working knowledge of the iSeries to deliver valuable information to their
clients using the Internet.
