The most valuable feature is the performance of the database; it's very efficient at what it does, quite reliable, and provides us with a very stable platform that we've been running for many years.

We have to use DB2 when we need more relational constructs, expanded inquiry and reporting; so it's not perfect in that regards.

We need to make it much easier to support and maintain, because the skills required are quite specialized and we're not going to have people in the future who've got the necessary experience and knowledge.

I'd like to see some of the installation, maintenance, and support functions simplified so that some of our younger, newer members can take advantage of the product and maintain it to the same standard that the older members have in the past.

Right now, it's not easy to start using this solution. You have to take long course and train people. It's not an easy path.
