How Do I Upgrade to IBM i 7.4 – Attend This Webinar

IBM ended support for IBM i 7.2 earlier this year, so we’re bringing back this popular “how to upgrade” topic for those of you looking to move to a supported version of the OS. Remember, when upgrading to new versions of IBM i, it’s always a good idea to have a documented plan, so that the process is successful the first time.

Do you know what you need to upgrade to IBM i 7.4?

During this watch party, Darren Anderson joins IBM Power Champion Tom Huntington to share top tips that he has learned in over 20 years of helping customers with operating systems upgrades. You’ll learn about:

New offerings in IBM i 7.4
Upgrade planning
Pre-upgrade tasks
Upgrade tasks
Common errors and failures
Post-upgrade tasks

This session covers planning tips, hardware and software prerequisites, and post-installation requirements—your upgrade isn’t complete until this last step is done! The focus will be on upgrading to 7.4, but there will be tips that apply to release levels 7.2 and 7.3.

Watch with us on August 26!

What Most IBM i Shops Get Wrong About the IFS

Can you trust all of your users all of the time?

A typical end user receives 16 malicious emails each month, but only 17 percent of these phishing campaigns are reported to IT. Once an attack is underway, most organizations won’t discover the breach until six months later.

A staggering amount of damage can occur in that time. Despite these risks, 93 percent of organizations are leaving their IBM i systems vulnerable to cybercrime.

In this on-demand webinar, IBM i security experts Robin Tatam and Sandi Moore will reveal:

How phishing attacks are becoming more sophisticated
Three little-known ways malicious programs can reach your IFS
Why the IFS is IBM i’s “Typhoid Mary”

You’ll also learn why some of the most common malware solutions still leave IBM i systems vulnerable—and what you can do to protect your organization.
