AS400-List.com is the only full service data enhancement and list fulfillment service available specializing in the AS400 marketplace. We are the premier provider of sales and marketing solutions for AS400 related companies. In fact, we're the only provider in our class. We track companies that use AS400 computer systems at more than 150,000 business sites with over 290,000 contacts around the world. We ask them what they've got, what they want and who's in charge of getting it. We have the largest database of AS400 business sites in the world. With this unrivaled resource, we can facilitate AS400 sales and marketing applications such as direct mail, telemarketing, Web marketing, lead generation and qualification, market sizing, profiling and custom market research.

We maintain six AS400 lists, a Premium, a Deluxe, a Complied, a Research, an Opt-in Email list, and Compiled Email list.

We have had some customers over the years who insisted that they need a "perfect" list, with absolutely no out-of-business sites, bad phone numbers contacts that no longer work there. This list contains the freshest and the most accurate sales leads possible! These leads are more accurate than any other list on the market! Why? Because this list is made up of companies that we CALL specifically and only for you! You simply tell us your specific needs and we will research the list and verify that EVERY company you receive is EXACTLY what you order and that the contact person is still employed at that company! These leads will be perfect for those situations where you absolutely and positively have to have accurate information! The quality of this list is unsurpassed by any list in existence! 

This list is made up of  just the companies we are only able to reach and qualify during our telephone verification process and are less than 365 days old. It contains fresh accurate leads that are pre-qualified as active buyers of AS400 products and services. This is our most popular list. It is used by a lot of major, well known, AS400 Solution Providers as well as many small to mid size companies and even a few individuals just looking for work.  This is a very good list but because some of these sites are up to one year old a small percentage of the information may be out-of-date or inaccurate. This list is perfect for those situations where you need a good, reliable, high quality AS400 list but don't want to pay for near perfection. With this list you'll spend less and send more to your target market with very few returns.

This list is exactly what is says, it is compiled from various sources and various lists into one large file. This list is made up of  companies we are only able to reach and qualify during our telephone verification process, companies that exceed the 365 day cutoff to be included in our Deluxe list, companies from our Email list (with full contact information), companies from our Fax list as well as companies that we have received in trade from AS400 Solution Providers that we have yet to verify. This is not our most popular list but many companies find that this list is sufficient for their needs. This is a good list but because many of these sites are over one year old and many have never been telephone verified a percentage of the information may be out-of-date and inaccurate. This list is good for those situations where you need a fairly good AS400 list and you need to get your name in front of as many prospects as possible, as quick as possible and perfection is not required. With this list you'll spend less and send more to your target market but you will get more returns.

We have over 250,000 AS400 IT/IS/MIS/DP Decision Makers at 150,000+ AS400 sites in the United States, Canada and 72 other countries, containing 60,000+ Verified Fax Numbers and 80,000+ Verified Email Addresses.

You may get counts for any country simply by asking.

A profile is a summary of demographic and technology information concerning a specific AS400 site location. It's the compilation of all the interviews conducted at the site location and any information gathered from other sources, in an easy to read format. AS400-List.com creates a personalized profile format just for you that can be viewed using almost any commercially available software.

A site is an individual business location that may be either a standalone business or part of a larger enterprise. Our interviews are performed at the site location level, as opposed to the enterprise level. This means that AS400 Database may, for instance, include 450 different site profiles for locations within the Ford Motor Company enterprise. The listing for each of those locations will include installed AS400 hardware, software and service profiles, as well as a comprehensive list of on-site technology contacts and decision makers.

Our names are generated by direct mail, telephone, fax and email solicitations, conference attendees, opt-in email and snailmail solicitations, direct telephone research as well as from previous software or hardware purchasers, contests participants, magazine subscribers, conference attendees, user group members, list trades and other sources.

The gathering of new AS400 sales leads and the updating of existing sales leads is a never ending and extremely time consuming process but we do our best to keep our prospect list as accurate as possible. Our goal is to always improve the quality of our list and to have a prospect list that is as close to 100% accurate as possible. We are working to accomplish this goal by using every cost-effective means at our disposal. We Call to over 3,000 companies each week to Verify, Update and add to the information in our database. We work with hardware vendors, software vendors, user groups, consultants, industry publications, executive search firms and other "business partners". These "business partners" are constantly sending in changes to our list. We trade for and even buy valuable information. We cross-reference our database with the Post Office's "national change of address" database to update our addresses. We have our database cross-referenced against every company, address and phone number in the United States once a year to verify that each company is at the address and phone numbers listed. We update records from information sent in by our clients. We delete any inaccurate leads sent back to us from our clients. We do all of this to insure that you get the best possible AS400 prospect list at the best possible price! We do all of this for our reputation and for your protection. You will not have pay for anything you can't use! 

Every time we "test" this list we get a good "overall" accuracy rate, but a lot of the sites will have some information that is out-of-date. We sell this list every day and the vast majority of our clients are completely satisfied with this list. This list is perfect for those situations where you need to get your name in front of as many prospects as possible, as quick as possible and perfection is not required.

Unlike most lists that offer mere contact names and minimal company-level information, the AS400 database includes many fields of technology information that can be imported into customer marketing databases in a number of formats. Examples of the technology fields available are: number of PC's, number of servers, total AS400 used at the location, presence of JD Edwards and other Software, presence of Network Operating Systems and much more. The AS400 database is also accessible in a variety of deliverable formats to better meet client needs.

The AS400 Database includes up to 10 functional contacts at each site location. Business contacts include President, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Sales/Marketing, Purchasing, and Human Resources. Technology contacts include CIO, VP MIS, Director IS, Senior IT, Software/Applications Manager, AS400 Systems Manager, Operations Manager, Systems Analyst, Programmers, PC Manager, Webmaster, Workstation Manager, LAN Manager, Telecom Manager and Data Communications Manager.

This list is a legitimate "opt-in" email list. It is generated by inviting Internet users to "opt-in" to lists pertaining to topics of interest and allowing list members to "opt-out" of or unsubscribe to our list every time they receive a marketing message from us. Every name on a our Email list belongs to an AS400 user who has come to one of our network of sites and signed up to receive commercial email messages relevant to the AS400 via mail or ask for this kind of information on our Opt-In page. With this list you get Company, Contact, Title, Address, City, State, Zip+4, Phone, and Email and in some cases a Fax Number, an Industry, and a Company Revenue.

Note: Some people may consider the use of a third party email list as SPAM even if it is an Opt-In email list. There list is very easy to use and inexpensive to contact!

This list is not an "opt-in" email list. This list has been obtained in trades with many AS400 Solution Providers, User Groups, Magazines, AS400 Conference promoters and many other sources. We can not however vouch for how or from where these email addresse were originally obtained.  We send an email to each one of these addresses on a regular basis inviting them to either "opt-in" or "opt-out" of this list. Those who chose to Opt-In become part of our Opt-In Email list. All email address that don't do through and anyone who asks to Opt-Out are immediately removed from this list. This is why you can rest assured that these are good accurate AS400 email addresses of active buyers of AS400 products and services and who have no objection to receiving solicitations by email. Note: Some people still consider the use of a third party email lists as SPAM.  With this list you only get an Email Address, nothing else. However, this list is easy to use and very inexpensive to contact and is great for reaching as many AS400 contacts as possible for the least expense. 

his list has been obtained in trades with many AS400 Solution Providers, User Groups, Magazines, AS400 Conference promoters and many other sources. We can not however vouch for how or from where these email addresse were originally obtained.  We send an email to each one of these addresses on a regular basis inviting them to either "opt-in" or "opt-out" of this list.

Email Marketing is the most effective and fastest way to market your product or service.  According to research from Price Waterhouse and Coopers, email is now the primary reason people go online, and according to Roper Starch, email has now become the number one way to reach business people. In fact, most people spend more time visiting their email accounts than they do visiting other Websites. No wonder email rated top in effectiveness, over television and PR, in a recent survey of Website marketing managers. Email marketing can be incredibly profitable and is currently the most powerful form of advertising available.

If you are like most marketers, you've probably heard of "opt-in" lists but you're not completely sure what they are and how to get your hands on them. Opt-in lists are so named because people "opted in" to get onto them. In other words, everyone on that list voluntarily requested that his or her name be added. These are the best email lists because recipients are looking forward to getting the email. Can you imagine the response a direct mail campaign would get if its prospects were looking forward and waiting to receiving it? There are very few opt-in lists for specific business-to-business industries, specific types of product buyers or other highly targeted demographics. Our Opt-In Email List is the exception.

WHAT IS THE AS400 FAX DATABASE?

This list is exactly what is says, it is a list of companies that use the AS400 where we have a fax number available. Each site is faxed to at least every ninety (90) days and some every thirty days.

With this list you get Company, Contact, Title, Address, City, State, Zip+4, Phone, and Fax and in some cases an Email address, an Industry, and a Company Revenue.

It's not generosity, it's just good business. We know that no list "as a whole" is going to be absolutely perfect, that there are still going to be errors in any list, no matter how often it’s updated. That's why we offer the best warranty in the list business! Most list companies offer no warranty, guarantee of accuracy or assurances of any kind except their word that their list is good. Unfortunately, this is very normal in the list industry. We try hard to be different and give our customers our written assurance that "we stand behind our list 100%!" No one else in the list business offers a promise of this magnitude! We also offer incentives for sending "new" information. See Below for our warranty details and return policies.

We, and the owners of the two other lists we market, make our information available for your use under very specific terms that we need you to agree to. The information we make available to you is proprietary, is of a sensitive and confidential nature, reflects the original research of AS400-List.com and our partners and is protected by United States copyright laws. The list is very valuable and many of our competitors would love to get a copy of our list and market it themselves so every list we sell is seeded with a few fictional sites to detect unauthorized use. We have put a tremendous amount of work into our list and it is our only business so we protect it vigorously. Records of all list sales are maintained by AS400-List.com to protect you as well as us. If a competitor were to get a copy of our list they would be able to sell it to your competitors for very little because they have no investment of time and money in the list.

Yes. This is not a rental list that is restricted to a one-time mailing. You are going to get a list of AS400 sites for your own personal mailings and you may use it over and over again as long as you maintain your licensing rights to the list.

No! Because you do not actually own the list. A better description would be that you have acquired a limited license to use the list as specified under the terms of use agreement.

You can use the list in your own direct mail or telemarketing efforts, including direct mail or telephone prospecting, lead generation, sales and/or market survey activities; or, if you are an advertising agency or marketing consultant, in the direct mail or telemarketing efforts of a single client. You have the non-exclusive right to use the data on any computers physically located at the address to which it was delivered.

The detailed guidelines for returning data to AS400-List.com are on the Warranty page. They are very detailed and the closer they are followed the easier it will be for us to process any returned data and the quicker we can send out new sites.

This is a hard question and it doesn't have a short answer. For starters, accuracy of all data elements and deliverability of the names and addresses by the postal service are two very different things. Overall, the files we present here are easily 90-95% deliverable, meaning that the named companies or individuals are at the addresses or telephone numbers indicated. These files are constantly being updated and corrected using public records as well as telephone verification. However, selected, targeted list segments, such as specific business types or geographic locations, may be significantly more or less deliverable than the files as a whole. Hospitals certainly have more stable addresses than retail outlets. As an example, selecting "retail electronics", whether a company's primary business is selling computers, home appliances, radios and TVs or car stereos may be an open question. Also, selections such as employee size and Sales Volume ranges are ESTIMATES based on reported and derived information and whether a company is actually doing a 100 million dollars in sales, twice that or only half that, may be a function of how the owner wanted to look on his Dun's report. At the same time, a list selected using Revenue of over $100,000,000 will respond more appropriately to offers tailored for that income range than one selected at $1,000,000.

With our Premium List you can expect to get an overall accuracy rate of 100%. This list is perfect for those situations where you absolutely, positively have to have perfect information. With our Deluxe List you can expect to get an overall accuracy rate of over 80%. This list is perfect for those situations where you need good reliable information but absolute perfection is not required. With our Email (Opt-In) List you can expect to get a 90%+ deliverable rate. With our Email (Email Only) List you can also expect at 90%+ deliverable rate. With our Compiled List the overall accuracy rate varies depending on your list selections. This list is perfect for those situations where you need to get your name in front of as many prospects as possible, as quick as possible and perfection is not required.

Using our Compiled list and based on the feedback we have gotten from our clients and our own research we have been able to estimate the level of accuracy on the most pertinent fields. Company names average about 90% accurate, installed systems about 80% accurate, addresses about 80% accurate, phone numbers about 70% accurate, and contact names about 50% accurate. We guarantee the accuracy of every field in each site, even contact names.

The above percentages reflect the overall accuracy rates. The actual percentages of any list you get will vary depending upon your specific list selections. Targeted list segments, such as specific business types or demographics, may be significantly more or less accurate than the files as a whole. Hospitals certainly have more stable addresses than membership organizations. As an example, selecting "retail electronics", whether a company's primary business is selling computers, home appliances, radios and TVs or car stereos may be an open question. Also, selections such as employee size and sales volume ranges are estimates based on reported and derived information and whether a company is actually doing a million dollars in sales, twice that or only half that, may be a function of how the owner wanted to look on his Dun's report. At the same time, a list selected using Revenue of over $100,000,000 will respond more appropriately to offers tailored for that income range than one selected at $1,000,000. While some pieces of information such as the company names don't change very often and are fairly easy to keep current, some items such as the contact names, change very often. Data processing people are very dynamic and typically change jobs every 18 months. This means that of the 290,000 contacts that we try to keep tabs on at least 5,000 or more change jobs every month!

We maintain a continuous interview cycle (3,000 companies each week) to keep our AS400 contacts and installed AS400 information fresh and actionable. We have many strong Business Partner relationships with major companies in the industry and our talented research teams contact key AS400 professionals on a daily basis. By profiling a company from different angles, AS400-List.com delivers the most accurate picture of a potential buyer. This access provides AS400-List.com with a unique position that is unrivaled in the industry. Because of this our AS400 database is the richest and most trusted AS400 information source of its type. With unrivaled breadth, depth, freshness and accuracy, no other database provides a larger volume of relevant and accurate information to the AS400 marketplace.

The gathering of new AS400 sales leads and the updating of existing sales leads is a never ending and extremely time consuming process but we do our best to keep our prospect list as accurate as possible. Our goal is to always improve the quality of our list and to have a prospect list that is as close to 100% accurate as possible. We are working to accomplish this goal by using every cost-effective means at our disposal. We Call to over 3,000 companies each week to Verify, Update and add to the information in our database. We work with hardware vendors, software vendors, user groups, consultants, industry publications, executive search firms and other "business partners". These "business partners" are constantly sending in changes to our list. We trade for and even buy valuable information. We cross-reference our database with the Post Office's "national change of address" database to update our addresses. We have our database cross-referenced against every company, address and phone number in the United States once a year to verify that each company is at the address and phone numbers listed. We update records from information sent in by our clients. We delete any inaccurate leads sent back to us from our clients. We do all of this to insure that you get the best possible AS400 prospect list at the best possible price! We do all of this for our reputation and for your protection. You will not have pay for anything you can't use! 

If you have ever purchased a list from someone else you will understand why we put so much emphasis on accuracy and quality. It’s because you put so much emphasis on accuracy and quality, and if you don’t, you should. Why buy a list in the first place if most of the people on it have been dead or gone for six years?

Mailing lists are supposed to make you money but they have to be accurate and current for this to happen. In fact, if you don’t get an up-to-date list for your mailing it may end up costing you money instead of making you money! Having the most up-to-date list is vital to keeping your advertising expenses down and with the high cost of postage, mailing to a stale or inaccurate list can be an expensive and fruitless investment.
