PRWeb - Sun Apr 26, 6:01AM CDT
Infinite Corporation has been awarded a contract to migrate RPG-based AS/400 applications for the Government of Brunei. The Sultanate has been operating many aging AS/400 systems for its key applications. These systems operate at great cost to the government agencies they support. The data produced from these systems is currently maintained in a highly proprietary and aging database structure that makes sharing information between agencies and within departments challenging.

Computer Hardware Rental Services Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated
PRWeb - Sat Apr 25, 3:01AM CDT
Computer hardware rental services have a buyer power score of 4.5 out of 5, indicating high negotiating power for buyers. "This score reflects a steady decline in rental fees due to the wide availability of suppliers and the declining cost of inputs," says IBISWorld research analyst Andrew Krabeepetcharat. "Input costs for suppliers have declined at a steady rate over the past three years." Additionally, the low level of price volatility benefits buyers because it creates a more predictable purchasing environment and reduces the likelihood of price hikes. Stable price declines during the period allow buyers to take the time to carefully evaluate suppliers and their options.
