  • A Little Application Humor, Thanks to Lawson Software

    September 24, 2007 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    If Number Two always has to try harder, as car rental company Avis used to say in its commercials, then imagine how hard you have to try when you are number six behind SAP, Oracle, Infor, Sage Group, and Microsoft. Even if you don’t count Sage and Microsoft as providers of enterprise-class applications, Lawson Software is still up against some pretty tough competition.

    Which is why, perhaps, the company–or someone who has invested money in Lawson stock–has put out a stealth marketing video on YouTube, which you can see here, describing how three companies–Elcaro, Sepp, and Lawson Software–deal with the classic problem of getting a kitty cat down from a tree. And if you are really bored at work, here’s another one, which pretty much sums up how I feel about Windows at least once a week.

    JAMS Software

    One Scheduler. IBM i, Windows, Linux, and More.

    IBM i teams trust JAMS to schedule and orchestrate jobs across every platform in their environment. Centralized visibility, cross-platform dependency management, and alerts that reach the right person before the business feels it.

    Fewer than 5% of IBM i shops run IBM i only. The rest are managing cross-platform dependencies — often without a clear picture of how they connect. JAMS draws that map, enforces those dependencies automatically, and gives your team a single place to monitor, manage, and recover when something goes wrong.

    If you are running hundreds of CL scripts and custom RPG processes, bring them as-is. JAMS runs them exactly as they do today — except now they are visible, monitored, and part of an orchestrated workflow instead of scattered across folders only one person knows about.

    No consumption-based pricing. No surprise bills when your workload spikes. You pay based on how many machines JAMS talks to — that’s it.
