I used to live in OKC, and there was some recent traffic about a RUG
there. Yes, Hertz reservation center facility uses 3Ks. I am also a
'member' of CompuServe, and one morning while going on line, got a
'terminal' interface that gave me a DBFIND error! Hmmm!

As for us, anyone interested can visit our web site at ISISYS.COM,
although I frankly regard our home page as, well, boring would be a kind
word (our graphic is a photograph of our building, which sends the
statement that we occupy office space... the other pages are of relative
interest), although the nature of our business (outsourcing services to
the personal lines insurance industry) is not one that is likely to
bring in business from an award-winning web site (of course, if any of
you are personal lines insurers... please contact us ;-) ). One item of
interest is the link to the press release about us being bought by CGI,
and sold by Teleglobe. In it, we are referred to as "Teleglobe's
Insurance Systems group". Then there is a link to CGI's home page. Now
there is a pretty web page.

If anyone is still reading, we are investing rather seriously in the
project that I am on, with several companies slated to come up on our
PersonalEdge personal lines insurance application, which uses IMAGE on
the 3K as it's RDBMS and the 3K itself as the application server, and
Oracle on the 3K as the data warehouse, with a VB client on Win32 boxes.
Granted, we aren't Pillsbury or General Mills and certainly don't expect
that kind of public name recognition, but I hope that our little effort
can somehow be one example of a company using a mature platform and
technologies for a 'state-of-the-art' application, and of some benefit
to the general reputation of the 3K. Of course, our data center is an
Adager customer.
