AS/400 Expectations
• DPI has stated that an LEA can turn off their 400 at anytime now.
• Before you do, please consider:
• Are there any other applications you have purchased or developed running
on your 400?
• Are you still using HRMS or the data?
• Are you still looking up data in old libraries?
Education Management Systems, Inc.www.thinklinq.com | 800.541.8999
Old 400 Data?
• What about your old Libraries?
• We created an archive utility to migrate them to
your Windows server.
• Converts the needed data from the libraries to a
SQL Database on your server.
