MC SHOWCASE BUYER'S GUIDE

Since being founded in 1997, Centerfield Technology has created a set of groundbreaking tools that help companies and ISVs more effectively utilize the AS/400, iSeries, and System i5 (System i). Today we help our clients manage complex databases, SQL-based applications and the end-users that work with them. Our tools help IT personnel deliver high performance database access, reduce the time needed to diagnose application issues and control unrestricted access to System i data. With the ability to help our clients take full advantage of System i hardware in SQL-intensive environments, our tools are especially valuable in industries that have a high transaction volume such as retail, distribution, financial, and pharmaceutical. Centerfield’s tools can help all applications that use SQL, including legacy RPG code, packaged ERP/CRM environments, and web or WebSphere applications. Centerfield Technology was started by former IBM and Showcase Corporation (now SPSS) management and technical personnel with experience in design and coding of DB2 query optimizer features, ODBC driver development, and end-user query tools.
