Any ideas about as400 addresses ?
Companies such as IBM guard this information, apart from the occasional press release, so that their competitors can't target their customers for so-called competitive winback campaigns.
Your best bet might be to become an IBM Business Partner offering services to AS/400 customers (by the way, "AS/400" how quaint!). That way you're more likely to have access to inside information and resources to help you find your customer base.
Ditto becoming an Oracle BP for JDE contacts and information.
It really depends on how specialised this "system" is.
If it is Microsoft Office that you are talking about then I know that a very large number of companies use it.
Otherwise see if you can find anything from the Vendor's website.
If the system is specialised then vendors do like to put out press releases when they sell to a new customer so see if there are any of those on the internet.
If the vendor is a listed company then see if you can get any clues from their annual report and accounts. If the vendor is in a specialist market these can contain details of new business (and sometimes pipeline business if the company is on shaky ground).
