Focusing the spotlight on e-Vantage solutions for AS/400 users, several time-limited promotions are currently being offered to customers, known competitive accounts and 5250 prospects by the local office of Attachmate.
These promotions include no charge RALLY! 6.5 upgrades, free access to shared folders for NT and the Euro service pack, all coupled to a reduced fee for QuickStart Consulting Services.
"These promotions are available to RALLY! or e-Vantage Enterprise CAL for AS/400 customers without regional or area manager approval," says Paul Cripsey, country manager of Attachmate SA.
The new offer is designed to boost uptake of RALLY! 6.5, the Windows component of Attachmate e-Vantage for AS/400, with productivity enhancements and direct host access over TCP/IP.
"It is aimed at both thick and thin client architectures," says Alain Grimont, Attachmate`s France-based product marketing manager. "We still believe there are between 35 and 40 percent of AS/400 users who are not using TCP/IP connectivity and the new version of RALLY!, tied in with this offer, is aimed at this segment of the market."
Lynly Schambers, the US-based Attachmate product marketing manager comments that AS/400 users are typically slow adopters of new technology, such as the thin client architecture. However, she believes that, thanks to the IP features inherent in RALLY!, users will see it as a stepping stone to this architecture.
"Local customers, while they find the features of both thick and thin architectures attractive, are beginning to look closely at thin client solutions, and we believe this offer will bring a number of them on board," says Cripsey.
