IBM Reverses Course, Keeps S/3X Compilers in i5/OS V5R5
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

The thing about sagas is that they have drama, they tend to go on for a long time, and even when it feels like the tensions that make up the drama are resolved, there is always a sense that it is a fleeting resolution, but a brief respite before the story begins again. So it is with the older compilers that are buried within the i5/OS platform. READ MORE >

New Director of System i Sales for BPs, ISVs Appointed
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

IBM last week announced that it has appointed a new director of sales for the System i platform with regards to the business partner and independent software vendor channel. As has been the case for a number of years, Peter Small, who starts work this week, hails from IBM's Unix sales team, and Big Blue is hoping that the experience that Small has will help the company and its partners better peddle the i5/OS platform.

Readers React to Project Prometheus System i Effort
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

As you might expect, there has been a lot of talk about the Project Prometheus effort to rejuvenate the System i platform since I did my initial story on the secret project two weeks ago. Many of the things that people said in their comments to me about the project were the same kinds of things we have discussed over the years about how to differentiate and peddle this platform.

As I See It: The Great Disconnect
by Victor Rozek

There is a reason why programmers don't write code on typewriters: disconnecting software from a computer strips it of its utility.
