Hi Mongolia,

Is there anything else you know about this company? For instance, how
did you hear about it? What kind of stores are they?

Anything at all can help. Thanks.

Dear mongolia-ga,

Nice to see you here again. I think it may be Debenhams. According to
their web site they have two head offices: London and Taunton. These
are some extracts from their web site,

"Split between our two Head Office sites in London and Taunton,
Information Systems covers everything from Helpdesk Support to
state-of-the-art systems development. A business as unique as ours
requires some equally unique technology - and this is where it comes
to life. We have one of the most exceptional, most highly regarded
teams in the business, known for their pioneering approach - and with
technology evolving at breakneck speed, they're always working on
exciting new projects."

This page discusses their business systems.

The contact details do not give any numbers for Taunton.
Debenhams Retail plc
1 Welbeck Street London
W1G 0AA
Please telephone 020 7408 4444 or send a fax to 020 7408 3366.

However, a general Google search gives these numbers:
Debenhams Retail plc, Bedford House, Park Street, Taunton. Somerset. TA1 4DB 
01823 337979
01823 364227

As for ?use an AS400/s/ iSeries?, I am unable to answer. They are
advertising for a person with knowledge of AS400. I don?t know if that
is relevant

It may only be solved by a phone call. Hope this is a good starting
point. Do you think this could be the one?

Thank you for the information. I think your answer is exactly what I
am looking for. I will confirm that Debenhams is indeed the company I
am looking for in
which case I will consider the question answered.

The question is in responce to some research I am doing with respect
to companies who use AS400's to do their back office processing.

Many Thanks
Mongolia
