You want a cool query, reporting, or BI tool.
Excel and PDF output is critical, the boss might like dashboards, some users want charts with drill down, there's an analyst who would use OLAP, sometimes you need to access SQLServer, MySQL, or other data, someone asked recently to see her reports on a smartphone, email and FTP report distribution would save time, and security is a growing concern. What can you do on your budget? With NGS, just select the flavor and style you need. We'll even buy you ice cream just for talking to us about it.

IBM Hikes Maintenance Fees on Power-Based Gear
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Well, you could probably see this one coming from about a zillion light years away. Last week, IBM warned customers that it was going to raise monthly and annual maintenance fees on a slew of hardware, including a raft of vintage AS/400 and RS/600 machines as well as more recent iSeries and pSeries gear, System i and System p iron, and even some earlier generations of the Power Systems lineup.

IBM, Oracle to Build on i Solution Edition Momentum
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Here's some welcome good news for the IBM i marketplace: Big Blue has closed its best quarter ever in the history of doing Solution Edition bundles for iSeries, System i, and Power Systems machines running OS/400 and i operating systems.

Calculating the Risks on All Sides of the App Modernization Issue
by Dan Burger
Risky business. Is there really any other kind of business? Show me someone who eliminates risk, and I'll show you smoke and mirrors. Executives are supposed to run their firms by minimizing risk. Those with their hand on the throttle of IT development, particularly in the IBM i environments you know so well, sometimes back off on application modernization projects because they are not sure how to manage risk. Ask Paul Conte if he agrees with this knee-jerk reaction. READ MORE >

As I See It: Rethinking the Resolution
by Victor Rozek
If you've ever been an active member of a gym or health club, you've probably witnessed the annual fitness migration.

IBM to Ride Growth Waves on Current Iron in 2011
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
I went up to IBM's annual Investor Day two weeks ago not only to spend some time with the people who created the Watson question-answer system, whom I have spoken to a number of times on the phone over the past several years, but also in the hopes of getting some insight into IBM's plans for future x64, Power, and mainframe systems. Big Blue didn't show too many of its cards, but did reveal a few things about what we can expect from the Software and Systems Group in 2011 and beyond. READ MORE >
