My former company (Firesign Computer) was a success story for the predecessor machines and program. We acquired two P/390s through the PiD program (mid-1990s). We developed Outbound which became (according to Gartner) the number three inter-machine file transfer product (after Connect:Direct and CA-XCOM6.2, and not counting FTP, which was not generally an enterprise-market solution at the time). My company was acquired by ASG, who still markets Outbound as ASG-Outbound Express. We had over 300 IBM mainframe enterprise customers (predominantly OS/390) at the time of the acquisition, and employed seventeen.
We never could have done it without the P/390s and the PiD and ADCD programs.

Does anyone know of any success stories vis-a-vis this platform and program? Got the Flex machine through PWD, developed the software, brought it to market, and am now a successful ISV? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
