  • IBM Does Web Query Deal Down Under

    April 22, 2013 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    It has been a year since IBM launched version 2.1 of its Web Query for IBM i follow-on to the ancient Query/400 ad-hoc query tool for the operating system we all love that runs on Power Systems. That 2.1 release split Web Query into Express and Standard Editions and shifted to per-core pricing from a very complex set of priced features you needed a PhD in IBM marketing to understand. (Sorry, I only have a master’s degree.)

    Last week, IBM announced a Web Query for IBM i promotion deal for both Australia and New Zealand that gives customers who buy Web Query Express Edition some pretty hefty discounts.

    In Australia, the deal is outlined in announcement letter A313-068, and customers who buy Web Query Standard Edition (product number 5733-WQE) between now and the end of the year will get it at a 53.26 percent discount. (Yes, the deal has four significant digits in the percentage, and yes, that is weird but you will see why in a second.) That drops the per core price from $22,463.10 to a nice round $10,500, which is in Australia dollars.

    In New Zealand, the deal is in announcement letter NZ313-068, and the discount is set at 52.67 percent. That drops the per core price of Web Query Standard Edition from $23,240 to $11,000 in New Zealand dollars.

    I poked around the IBM announcement system and did not see similar promotions in the United States, Canada, or Europe, but I will keep an eye out for them.

    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.
