by Alex Woodie
Menora Insurance, one of Israel's top five insurance carriers, knows firsthand about risk. Employees at the Tel Aviv company still remember Saddam Hussein's Scud missile strikes during the first Gulf War, and, more recently, the suicide bombings down the street from its data center have reminded them of the sacrifice of their nation's struggle. But when it came to the risk of losing data on its iSeries servers, Menora decided that was a risk it was no longer willing to take. READ MORE >

Correction
The article "O'Reilly Auto Gets Accolades for Successful OS/400 Planning System" has been edited since it was first published. Internet Auto Parts was incorrectly identified as "Intranet Auto Parts," and the Web address given for the company was incorrect. The article also gave the wrong impression that the application ran entirely on Windows, when in fact the application also runs on the iSeries. The article incorrectly stated that Internet Auto Parts accepts EDI orders, when in fact Internet Auto Parts doesn't handle EDI orders; that service is provided by Partnership Network. The article also incorrectly stated that Intranet Auto Parts is working with the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association to promote a common standard for electronic orders for aftermarket parts; the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association is in fact promoting the Partnership Network as a standard for electronic orders for aftermarket parts. Guild Companies regrets the errors. [Corrections made 7/9/03]
