IBM i in 2020: 2020 iSight & New Homes for IBM i information
It’s finally time for my first blog post of 2020. I have a couple of things I need to talk about to start the year, so let’s get to them.
First, I want to encourage you to read the new 2020 iSight blog. This year, we want to help clients, ISVs, business partners—the whole IBM i community really—see where this platform is headed. We want to provide a clear vision of the future. The 2020 iSight blog will be a place where we can collect the forward-looking thoughts of various members of the community and share news, plus tell stories about the future of IBM i and the people who use it. The initial blog talks about some themes for 2020—continuous availability, cloud and more. Check it out!
2020 iSight will also tie to many of the themes you’ll see us use at conferences, user groups, webcasts, etc. And there will be MANY opportunities to see us! Just yesterday we had a planning session to gather up all the requests we’ve had (so far!) for IBM’s IBM i speakers in 2020, and the calendar is already extremely full! In a future post, I’ll talk more about where I’ll be speaking this year.
Between the TRs we’ll deliver this year, the increasing availability of IBM i in various clouds, the impressive innovation stories coming in from clients, and other fun things we have in the pipeline for this year, 2020 is going to be a good year to look forward!
