  • Four Hundred Monitor, September 23

    September 23, 2020 Jenny Thomas

Some of the news isn’t directly related to the IBM i, but still important to us as the overall direction and health of IBM is directly related to our ecosystem. The IBM i does get some love this month, however, including a free webinar coming up next month (October 21) that will give you to get the latest updates and information about IBM i, which you can find details about in our Chats, Webinars, Seminars, Shows, and Other Happenings section below.
