MCS is offering a new service to our Infor Customers. MCS will send an A+ Application Expert to your site to perform a Business Review of all installed A+ module's.

MCS will meet with key Department Personal to review the workflow and review the full features of the Software.

We will produce an Operational and Business Review Document to be reviewed with your Management Team. This review will offer recommendation that will streamline the day to day department operations.

 

Included Areas are:

This Business Review Document will serve as our "Roadmap / Project Planner" outlining our  3, 6, & 12 month Business / Technology Road Map. This business review document will also help us prioritize the investments and what return it will have to the business.

This process review is critical to the success of your business and bottom line. I encourage companies like yours to do this process every 6 - 12 months to update the progress of the projects and address any other business needs.

Call MCS today for more Information.

 

 IBM has announced that support for V5R3 of i5OS (now called 'IBM i') will be withdrawn on April 30, 2009. If your AS/400-iSeries-System i is a Model 270 or newer, you should have already upgraded to V5R4. Ordering the V5R4 software on CDs/DVDs is free, providing your IBM Software Maintenance (SWMA) is current.
 
Systems currently running either V5R2 or V5R3 can upgrade to V5R4 as a single step. The process usually takes 8-10 hours and your system must be dedicated to nothing else. As a result, most OS upgrades are done on a weekend. V5R4 requires a minimum load source drive of 17.5 GB. MCS IBM i certified technician, Bryan Mangan, routinely does i5OS upgrades, provided they are scheduled in advance.  I5OS upgrades are billable, except for MCS System i support contract customers who have an annual upgrade as part of their agreement.
 
IBM's current V6R1 is still not widely in active use at busy shops in production mode. MCS will not encourage early adoption of new versions of an OS, until proven under harsh conditions. Contact MCS Certified IBM specialist Steve Kurzban. 

Maximum Computer Systems would like to thank all those who were able to attend our A+ user conference at The Sayre Mansion in Pennsylvania and made it such a success. A special thanks to Shelly Harkins of CMMA for getting the word out about our event. The setting was an informal round table and we especially welcomed the opportunity to meet with all of you in person and to discuss your needs and concerns.
 
The topics covered were varied and provided an overview of several A+ modules that can add real value to you investment in A+. Please be on the lookout for our A+ seminars in your area soon.
