Busch & Partner
"The process of converting our programs that run on i5/OS V5R3 and V5R4 was fast and provided an accurate/error-free adjustment to run on IBM i 6.1. All programs are working without any problems after installation. We're looking forward to the restructured Rational tools and the new System i POWER6 hardware, which we are going to install as soon as possible."
Rolf Busch, CIO
Busch & Partner


"CA's upgrade testing for our CA 2E and CA Plex application development environments with IBM's latest version of i5/OS has been smooth and straightforward. We are pleased to see that several new features were added to i 6.1, particularly the integrated Web Services server for ILE, which we feel will further position the System i as a compelling platform for developing and delivering SOA-based applications."
Daniel Leigh, Development Director
CA, Inc.


"Help/Systems, Inc. has been in the early ship program since the AS/400 was first announced. We again are pleased to have been included for i 6.1. Thousands of customers worldwide depend on the Robot Automated Operations Solution and SEQUEL software for systems monitoring, job scheduling, security, encryption, backup and recovery, business intelligence, storage management and impact analysis.

We are excited about i 6.1 for the stated improvements in Java Performance and the endorsement of encryption for backup and recovery. Robot/SAVE has been doing this for 2 years already and helps to legitimize software encryption for i5/OS. Installation on a i5/OS BladeCenter will help to provide i5/OS appliances for our suite of systems management products and we look forward to this new hardware."
Tom Huntington, Vice President of Technical Services

André Lundqvist, Technical Manager R&D

Infor's ERP Xpert application was easily running on IBM i 6.1. The conversion process was performed smoothly and quickly. For us one of the biggest improvements in i 6.1 is the once more enhanced Java performance: Our application is running well on V5R3, with V5R4 we experienced a huge performance gain without any hardware cost. Now with i 6.1 we see just another performance boost for our customers!
Thorsten Reuper, Vice President Development EMEA

"Information Builder's WebFOCUS provides customers with incredibly flexible, reliable, scalable and accessible choices for capitalizing on information. Key to our Business Intelligence solution is database query optimization technology," said Gerald Cohen, CEO of Information Builders. "We continue to be impressed with the highly scalable, high performance, and low manageability attributes of DB2 for IBM i. With the 6.1 version of DB2 for IBM i, more WebFOCUS customers worldwide can take advantage of the self adapting, self learning query optimizer technology. Combined with the new Power 6 based line of servers, we are excited about the benefits of running WebFOCUS and IBM's DB2 Web Query (based on WebFOCUS technology) on DB2 for IBM i 6.1."
Gerald Cohen, CEO
Information Builders
