iCommunity stands as the premier IBM i user group, a stalwart institution hosted and facilitated by Meridian IT. Gathering biannually, we convene to delve into the expansive realm of Power, exploring its myriad facets. Our agenda, meticulously curated with input from iCommunity members, remains a beacon of relevance in a dynamic landscape. Sessions are not just informative; they’re immersive journeys, rich with realistic examples that illuminate the technical intricacies and strategic implications from both business and operational perspectives.
Our deep-rooted ties with IBM Rochester, the nucleus of IBM i innovation, coupled with our prestigious global Platinum IBM Business Partner Status, afford us the privilege of attracting luminaries at the forefront of IBMi and Power. Moreover, every meeting is graced by an IBM i customer speaker, offering invaluable glimpses into their organisation’s strategic trajectory and technological odyssey with the application. iCommunity isn’t just a gathering; it’s a nexus of expertise, collaboration, and forward-thinking, driving the evolution of IBM i into new realms of possibility.
People Are Talking
Just wanted to drop you a note to say how much I enjoyed the iCommunity event last Thursday.
It’s always great to hear from other customers who have been on very similar journeys and are facing very similar challenges.
It’s also always good to hear direct from IBM what the direction of travel is.
