Re: Informix and Lawson Software
We have an Informix 9.3 upgrade (IBM/AIX) on order and so I've been in contact with Lawson and IBM today trying to understand our roadmap. So far, they are telling me (unofficially) that 8.0 will be around through 2006 and they recommend we continue with our current deal since they think another move is 2-3 years out. I'm skeptical still. Makes me want to consider tearing it all out and starting new on M$Windows/SQL.
