“We want to shed more light on the IBM i,” says Bob Luebbe, chief software architect at Linoma Software.
The IBM i continues to work as the backbone of data processing for thousands of mid-size to large enterprises around the world. The secure architecture and flexibility of the IBM i (formerly branded as AS/400, iSeries and System i) has given it much more longevity than was ever predicted by those early skeptics. Even though the IBM i is a very powerful and robust computing platform, many supporters do not think it’s getting the attention that it deserves.
This is why Linoma Software is helping to fund the iManifest (http://www.imanifest-us.com) initiative, which is an independent movement to recognize the value and achievements of IBM i. iManifest’s stated goal is to “act widely, in various ways helping business-people recognize the merit, excellence and achievements of IBM i.”
An Advanced IBM Business Partner and recipient of awards for its software solutions, Linoma continues to make significant R&D investments into the IBM i marketplace. “We want to shed more light on the IBM i,” says Bob Luebbe, chief software architect at Linoma Software. “Any company that uses an IBM i understands its proven abilities, reliability and speed. I think the iManifest initiative is a great way to get more visibility to this awesome platform, which I have great respect for after personally working with it for over 20 years.”
Linoma Software actively develops, updates, and supports the following solutions for the IBM i platform:
