Transoft and ASNA undertook a joint survey at the end of last year to analyze the level of interest in integration and modernization within the European System i community.

The survey was conducted in the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain. We were delighted to receive 123 responses - thank you to all those who took part.

Here are some of the key results of the survey:

• 68% of respondants have considered integrating or modernizing their System i applications.
  
  
• 49% plan to eventually integrate or modernize. Of these 21% want to go to .NET and 20% want to go to Visual RPG on Windows, while 18% will retain the DB2/400 database.
  
  
• 66% are concerned about not being able to integrate System i with new technologies.
  
  
• 53% are concerned about the availability of System i technical resources.
  
  
• 60% are concerned about the cost and time of programming changes on System i.
  
  
• 52% are concerned about how long the System i platform will continue.
