Behind the Scenes at the Award-Winning iSeries Support Center
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Last week, IBM announced that the iSeries Support Center, which provides technical support for the iSeries platform, competed for and won a prestigious award presented by the Service & Support Professionals Association (SSPA). The award that IBM's Rochester Lab was given was a great excuse for me to get an inside look at the iSeries Support Center and show you the people, applications, and processes that go into the technical support behind the OS/400 platform.

iSeries Sales Rebound 25 Percent in Q3
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
IBM reported its financial results for the third quarter last week, and for once, the brightest spot in the Big Blue's hardware portfolio, at least in terms of revenue growth, was the iSeries Power-based midrange server line, which saw sales improve by 25 percent. A collective sigh of relief went out across the iSeries ecosystem, and there is hopeful speculation that IBM might be able to sustain this growth since it has pumped up its marketing and sales efforts for the iSeries in 2005.

Sometimes You Have to Think--and Look--Inside the Box
by Dan Burger
For all those companies that are taking delivery of new iSeries hardware or those that are upgrading their operating systems to i5/OS V5R3, there's something inside the box that your new box of hardware or software comes in that you should take note of. It's a bonus package of CDs loaded with software that introduces users to off-the-shelf solutions that IBM considers leading-edge technology and of interest to the iSeries customer base. READ MORE >

As I See It: Listen Up, Kids
by Victor Rozek
Here's something to ponder: People born today have a 50/50 chance of living to be 100. Amazing, isn't it? But like all statistics, this one is bloodless, comprised of nothing more substantial than numbers. It doesn't tell us anything about the people who may live for a century. It doesn't tell us how they will fund their longevity. It doesn't speak to the quality of their lives. In short, it doesn't tell us whether living to be 100 will be a blessing or a curse. READ MORE >
