BPCS is available and is used in many flavors.

Most companies run it on AS/400 or iSeries as opposed to the alternatives: some UNIX host; Oracle; or Windows.

The Windows hosting only works when whole company has a very small number of seats, and this should not be confused with people using Windows as the GUI means of Client Access to their BPCS data.

Most popular versions appear to be V6 variants then V405CD but this is a moving target.
