by Alex Woodie

When something new doesn't pan out, sometimes it's better to suck it up and return to the proven path. That's basically the lesson SPSS has learned since its acquisition of ShowCase. SPSS is readying a new release of its business intelligence software suite for OS/400 shops, which was previously called STRATEGY and which is now named the ShowCase Suite. SPSS is also backing its OS/400 product line with a sales force that's sporting a new ShowCase focus. READ MORE >

RJS Adds Fax Offering, Enhances Imaging Software
by Dan Burger

RJS Software Systems historically has been a report-delivery software company whose products are designed to take advantage of electronic delivery via e-mail or the Web. The company has been successful to the tune of building a 1000-customer base in its 10-year existence, but it also took note of a market made up of companies that don't use e-mail. That led to the recent introduction of Enterprise Fax Solution, which lets iSeries users generate and send text-based faxes from iSeries applications. READ MORE >
