For Many Businesses, It’s Time to Upgrade Their Best-Kept Secret: IBM i

The unique characteristics of the IBM i platform and the legendary loyalty of its users mean that there is little distance between those who know the platform intimately and those who are unfamiliar with it. Organizations that run their business on the IBM i platform take advantage of the fact that the platform requires minimal administrative support to run high-volume transactions and maintain the core enterprise database; that it is easy to upgrade when new operating system (OS) versions arrive; that thousands of ISV solutions and custom applications simply run on the platform without requiring complex integrations; and that the platform is open source–friendly and supports modern popular languages. For these organizations, the most important decision to make today is when and how to upgrade to IBM.
