1. AS400 Decision Sept 2003 Last Fall Oliver Allen told me that the lease was extended until May 2004… In reality, the current AS400 lease does end this month. We have 3 options:  Purchase current AS400.  Extend the lease on current AS400.  Lease/Purchase new AS400. Summary

3. AS400 Decision Sept 2003 Current System Deficiencies 5 years old. Older/Slower technology. Additional strain of integrated EDI added last year. Have to upgrade memory and disk to try to keep it performing. Requires ongoing expense for software support. Requires ongoing expense for hardware maintenance. The next operating system upgrade (already released by IBM) is the last O/S version supported on this machine. This machine is at the end of it’s life cycle.
