IBM and Nortel last week unveiled plans to launch a new System i-based voice over IP (VoIP) solution later this year.

NGS Hooks Into Query/400 to Protect BI Investments
by Alex Woodie

When it comes to i5/OS business intelligence (BI) solutions, good old Query/400 has a huge following. While the tool is no longer being updated by IBM, many i5/OS shops have large investments in Query/400 that they aren't able or willing to abandon.
