  • Gabriel X64 Server Survey: Brother, Can You Spare Some Time?

    April 5, 2010 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Our good buddy, Dan Olds, over at Gabriel Consulting Group is looking for customers with X64 server to take part in his annual server survey, and he could use the assistance of readers of The Four Hundred.

    Admit it. You have these Winders and Loonix boxes all over the place. They crop up like mold in an unclean bathroom, like mice in a barn, like clouds off the coast of Africa that come whipping across the Atlantic, causing untold damage.

    Well, Gabriel Consulting wants to find out exactly what you think of those old X86 and newer X64 servers you use, and what you think of the treatment you get–or do not get–from your suppliers. The first 200 respondents (across all the places that are asking for readers to take the survey) get a $10 gift certificate via email from Gabriel Consulting. Even if you are not in the 200, I would take it as a personal favor from readers of The Four Hundred to take the survey and help us all get a better understanding of the X64 installed base. Thanks for your help. You can take the survey at this link.

    Get More Out of Your IBM i

    With soaring costs, operational data is more critical than ever. IBM shops need faster, easier ways to distribute IBM applications-based data to users more efficiently, no matter where they are.

    The Problem:

    For Users, IBM Data Can Be Difficult to Get To

    IBM Applications generate reports as spooled files, originally designed to be printed. Often those reports are packed together with so much data it makes them difficult to read. Add to that hardcopy is a pain to distribute. User-friendly formats like Excel and PDF are better, offering sorting, searching, and easy portability but getting IBM reports into these formats can be tricky without the right tools.

    The Solution:

    IBM i Reports can easily be converted to easy to read and share formats like Excel and PDF and Delivered by Email

    Converting IBM i, iSeries, and AS400 reports into Excel and PDF is now a lot easier with SpoolFlex software by DRV Tech.  If you or your users are still doing this manually, think how much time is wasted dragging and reformatting to make a report readable. How much time would be saved if they were automatically formatted correctly and delivered to one or multiple recipients.

    SpoolFlex converts spooled files to Excel and PDF, automatically emailing them, and saving copies to network shared folders. SpoolFlex converts complex reports to Excel, removing unwanted headers, splitting large reports out for individual recipients, and delivering to users whether they are at the office or working from home.

    Watch our 2-minute video and see DRV’s powerful SpoolFlex software can solve your file conversion challenges.
