Smart Choice

Your decision to use an iSeries (formerly AS/400) server as the center of your company’s computer operations provides you with a flexible, stable and powerful platform to efficiently run every type of business application from legacy to hot cutting edge.

It’s this quiet efficiency that makes it so easy to forget that the iSeries, just like any other machine, requires periodic care and routine maintenance. Most businesses don’t have the resources readily available to perform such tasks, that’s why Sigma Data Systems, Inc. created SOMS/400 - The Systems Operation and Management Solution for the AS/400™.
