Conference ufhis::siemens_communication

105.0. "SIEMENS and VAX interoperability" by GBI01::GADALETA (SWAS Genoa (ITALY)) Mon Apr 29 1991 11:04

    Hi,
    maybe this is not the right Conference, but I coudn'y find another
    one read by people with Siemens knowledge!.
    We are trying to expand our penetration in a large OEM Customer on	
    the internal MIS side. They actually are equipped with SIEMENS h/w:
    	H90-B
    	BS2000 V9.5
    	laser printer (I don't know which model)
    and the most of their application are developed with:
    	COBOL
    	IDMS (Codasyl database management system from Cullinet)
    	ADS-ONLINE  (TP monitor form Cullinet).
    We would like to talk them about distributed systems, NAS, interoperability
    and so  on... but in fact Digital can't offer anything like VIDA for
    the SIEMENS/Cullinet environment! 
    The question is: does anyone know about DEC or Customer projects
    dealing with those keywords? Or, even, did someone make a migration	
    from that environment to VAX/VMS?
    We are looking for every kind of experience about Digital and Siemens.
    Any suggestion (pointers to other conferences, third parties, ...)
    and ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards.
