Alex Woodie of IT Jungle just put out a great post citing an IBM published number of organizations using the IBM i platform.
And that number is over 150,000.
Per Alex, this was published by Collin Parris, Power Systems General Manager in the IBM i: An executive guide to IBM’s strategy and roadmap for its integrated operating environment for Power Systems.
You can read Alex’s article and get a link to the Parris’s IBM i roadmap by clicking here.
This is something we in the IBM i world have been looking at for a long time to determine the strength of the platform and its prospects for the immediate future. I’m sure that various groups involved in IBM i platform success can use this number for their future planning.
