Short profile:
Interchange Data Products Limited was set up in 1989 to supply IBM mid-range computer hardware. It was a year or so before this when IBM announced what was at that time, the long-awaited replacement for the ageing Systems 36 & 38, the AS/400.
The AS/400 established itself as a leading platform in many areas of business. As the general interest in Personal Computers grew and with it a global market, so the innovations in PC technology have found their way into all areas of technology including the AS/400.
Interchange’s customer base exceeded the thousand mark some time ago. These customers range from Blue Chip household names at one end to small, single person consultancies at the other. We have always felt that helping the smaller consultancy companies in supporting their customers would in turn provide additional business for Interchange.
Detailed description:
Hardware supply was the basis on which we and many other companies in the 1980s established our businesses. At the time, the IBM mainframe was king and it was probably true to say that the lion’s share of most transactions was for the purchase of the hardware with the software accounting for a relatively small proportion of the total outlay. How times have changed!
The company also deals in IBM’s open mid-range system, the RS6000. Whilst we are not as active in this area as with the AS/400 range, now that IBM has renamed its different platforms, there is a growing commonality between the iSeries
(AS/400) and pSeries (RS6000) hardware.
Interchange now has alliances with a couple of Business Partners who are happy to assist us in promoting and supplying new equipment. Our experiences of supplying new equipment have helped us to know how the current ranges of machines are built and configured. We still have current new-range price information as well, enabling us to provide our customer with more informed choices.
