The Preferred MAPICS Platform
Installed in 98 percent of the Fortune 100 companies, sold in 120 countries and enabled in 40 languages, what makes the IBM AS/400 so popular? According to independent consulting firm D.H. Andrews Group, "No other option combines the reliability, application package inventory, ease of use and low cost of ownership that AS/400 systems offer when used where they fit."
International Data Corporation concurs with the AS/400 acceptance assessments. In its 1997 research study comparing speed of deployment among server architectures, the AS/400 ranked consistently better than other midrange or PC LAN servers. Combined with less developers' time requirements, the AS/400 easily rated highest in overall customer satisfaction.
Since its introduction in 1988, the AS/400 continues to keep pace with technology advancements. In fact, the second generation AS/400, the Advanced Series launched in 1994, steadily evolves with new models and technology. Advancements include the AS/400e Custom Mixed Mode Servers, the 64 bit PowerPC RISC processor and operating system upgrades that enhance the AS/400's client/server, multimedia, object oriented, Internet and network centric environment performance.
In today's world of client/server computing, the AS/400 Advanced Series represents a new class of server. A recent report from Gartner Group considers the AS/400 Advanced Series to be the best technology available for supporting enterprise server platforms and the related client/server applications.
Despite innovative improvements, IBM protects the customer's investment by making the technology invisible to the applications. No reprogramming changes are required, thanks to the AS/400's unique architecture.
With more than 400,000 systems installed, no other computer system rivals the success of the AS/400. In a recent Advanced Manufacturing Research survey, the AS/400 was the highest rated hardware platform on the market. Customer loyalty provides true testimony to the system's reliability and value. It's no wonder the AS/400 has been the preferred MAPICS platform since 1988.
