Looking forward to meeting you at the event!

Most IBM i modernization initiatives don’t fail because of technology. They stall because the path forward feels unclear.

On June 18, recurring IBM Champion Mike Pavlak will explore how technical and non-technical teams alike can advance their platforms with clarity.

If IBM i transformation remains a priority for your organization this year, this session belongs on your calendar.

• AI exploration and adoption across all IT verticals
• Concerns surrounding the IBM i “Grey Wave"
• Growing interest in Db2 and hybrid cloud capabilities

Get a closer look at these themes along with other interesting highlights directly from the world's largest IBM i conference below!

IBM i Fun Fact Friday

Does your daily schedule involve more manual, keyboard-centric tasks than actual thinking?

It’s time to bring in infoRPA.

This tool integrates into your systems without coding and eliminates repetitive work by automating routine processes and screen interactions.

Think of it as a virtual employee that never needs sleep, never makes a typo, and definitely doesn't complain about “another boring task.”

Have you automated your IBM i to-do list, or are your fingers still doing all the overtime? Drop your answers in the comments below!

If you would like to give this tool a try, schedule a demo here: https://www.infoviewsystems.com/inforpa/

Modernization conversations are easy. Practical modernization experience is harder to find.

Multi-time IBM Champion Mike Pavlak is bringing more than 30 years of IBM midrange and mainframe expertise to a session focused on helping organizations navigate modernization with greater clarity and confidence.

If IBM i transformation is part of your roadmap this year, this is a conversation worth tuning into.

Heartfelt wishes on this Eid-al-Adha and Eid-ul-Zuha!

As the Kaaba grows vivid beneath the luminant glow of the moon, let us recall the unwavering faith, obedience, and selflessness of Prophet Ibrahim. On this sacred day, we reflect on what it means to share without condition, to serve without hesitation, and to stand together as one. May this Eid bring peace to every home and prosperity to every path.

This Memorial Day, we'd like to take a moment to pause and honor those who have lost their lives in U.S. military service. Today, we reflect on the sacrifice made by servicemen and women on behalf of their families and loved ones.

However you observe this holiday weekend, we wish you a meaningful and restful day with family, friends, and community.

Here's where to find us at COMMON Europe Congress 2026!
