The Old and the New

Monday, August 17, 2009 by Jeff Welsh


Having been in business for over 18 years now in Cincinnati, we have seen a few changes in the IT Solutions space.  It’s interesting to see what were once considered cutting edge technologies slowly fade in to oblivion.  It’s also very gratifying to be able to change and adapt to the newest IT Solutions. 

The past couple of weeks we have gotten calls from both ends of the spectrum.  From the older side, we had inquires from two different companies running older IBM System/36 software.  I had thought most of that RPG 2 and OCL had pretty much been converted over to something else during the Y2K scare at the turn of the century.  I guess not.

On the other side of the spectrum, we have gotten calls from a couple of companies looking for some help with Magento ecommerce.  Magento happens to be one of the open source ecommerce packages we have experience with. 

This is not the first post that I have written about open source, check this one out.  If you are thinking about a sweet CRM package, check out this post.

One other thing, you might be wondering about is why the picture of the 1974 Dodge Charger?   I was looking for a picture that could represent something old that is also new and cool.  I may be biased, but I think that picture does it.   That is “The Beauty” at the Quaker State and Lube cruise in on Sunday night.  I typically go to the Colerain location.  Next time I go, I will bring “The Beast”.
