Description

Optimum Software Integration, Incorporated, a California corporation was formed in 1993. The two principals of the corporation are Larry L. Carr and Stanley O. Long, who are both former IBM employees and who bring a wide variety of training and experience to the company. Optimum specializes in system integration and migration of older computer systems to the IBM AS/400 and RS/6000 families of computers, markets various hardware and software enhancements for these systems and performs specialty application and systems programming. Open/36 , an operating system add-on to AIX that allows the RS/6000 to operate as an IBM System/36 computer is one of its primary products. Optimum created the Remote Workstation Controller software that is one of the features of Open/36...this software package allows S/36 installations to continue using their existing remote workstations, printers and controllers while greatly increasing response time for their users. Optimum also markets and installs the R/390 Adapter and software (which IBM announced on April 23, 1996) that allows the RS/6000 to operate as an IBM mainframe. This is an extremely efficient and cost-effective solution for mainframe customers who need replacement of low-end machines, standalone development systems or testing of "Year 2000" software modifications. Larry L. Carr is President of Optimum. He spent ten years at IBM as a Systems Engineer, working on S/360 and S/370, S/3X accounts and in New Account Marketing.
