We are an established AS/400 user who started our purchases in 1994 with IBM's model 300. Through migration over the years, this has culminated in Jotun USA today being iSeries 720 users with BPCS V6 software.

Storage and capacity issues have always played a major part with our AS/400 management. This makes us constantly aware of the need for further disk purchase or purging of data onto remote storage devices in order to improve overall capacity and, not least, performance.

Small Blue Ltd approached us with what we now know to be a very viable and workable solution through their archiving software for BPCS. This has now proved to be invaluable in our daily business and combined with the professional service and positive attitude of their staff, has made the software a necessity to keep the business moving forward smoothly.

We gladly act as a reference for Small Blue, without any obligation or remuneration, and are pleased to share our experience of Small Blue archiving with other prospective users.
