iSeries, Content Manager for iSeries, Content Manager OnDemand for iSeries, Peregrine’s (formerly Harbinger’s) TrustedLink EDI, Java and
WebSphere Commerce, to name a few. A member of IBM’s iSeries Enterprise Team, SIA invests significantly each year in ongoing Research &
Development activities in order to continuously improve the quality and cost of ownership of Common Sense™ solutions. Common Sense™
software is a native 64-bit ILE RPG application and is Year 2000 ready.
SIA has developed a unique approach to deliver continuous software updates and support to our customers. Common Sense™ is sold and
installed as a full suite, rather than by module. All new customer-requested and internally generated R&D software enhancements are
integrated into the base code and made available to customers through our annual software subscription. Customers thus have access to the
latest software enhancements available, without ever having to purchase a new version or release. Applying “PTFs” (as we call them) is simple
and extremely low cost, since customers do not need to maintain or update their own personalized software environment.
This unique approach has resulted in homogeneous software installations for all of our customers. They use the same version of software code
and constantly keep it up-to-date, creating a continuously evolving “vanilla” software environment. Our approach has also contributed to the
very high quality of our code and the low cost and responsiveness of our customer support.
