About
us
"The society has given us a lot and we have to pay back."
The world is very small. But in this small world the Information Technology sector plays a very huge role.
And in this Information Technology sector, IBM Midrange AS400 plays a vital role. Many businesses - be it an ATM of a Bank
or a Retail Store or large Warehouse or a Hospital or a Scientific Center, almost any business - rely on the AS400
systems.
The world is green. We are from green background. (For those who are new to AS400, the alternate name for AS400
is green-screen). Naturopathy advises to look at green/promote greenary as much as possible to protect
the overall health of the individual and the universe.
We are a group of professionals with a lot of attributes
- like-minded people, same technology people, interested to share and vent-out our feelings, get fun and excitement, get going
with other platforms of the world - not only in I.T. but in every walk of life. We want to show off that an AS400 guy is an
all-in-all.
While our concentration is mainly on suggesting
proven methods/tips in AS400 platform which could ease the fellow-beings lives, we of course do not limit ourselves. Sky is
the limit to ask for any questions that are bothering you. Of course, no abuses, no filthy languages - we expect everybody
to be a good human. Friends400 Admin. team reserves the right to decide if your question/reply is apt for publishing

In
many cases depending on the economic and academic level of the individual this we provide this training free of cost
and we will guide the candidates how and where to approach for the AS400 Server connection during the training period which
will have to be paid for directly to the Server management company. (the fee per year will be about $100 depending on the
company that provides this online connectivity).
Depending on the IQ level of the candidate the training can be completed in as less as
2 months and as long as 6 months duration. So within 6 months of "sincere effort" we can assure a livelihood
for any person who is interested to learn AS400. The reason we say "sincere effort" is, there would be no
follow up or pushing on the candidates once an assignment is given for 2 or 3 days and candidate has to pay his
own efforts to complete the task.
Note: We are looking
for candidates who volunteer to be in the panel of our Trainers either in India, USA or any other Country. We
also need some candidates to train the Trainers. Approach us with your detailed concept as to how you want to spread
FRIENDS400 in your area.
