If you’ve not already subscribed (or even read) the excellent IT Jungle newsletter, I would certainly recommend you doing so.
There are a number of specific IBM i-related newsletters within the IT Jungle stable and they provide a useful and informative resource for the IBM i community.
Both BCD Software and Quadrant Software (now known together as Fresche Solutions) have featured in articles on the website over the last few months. Here’s a quick round-up of a few that you might find of interest.
Zend and BCD get a little closer for PHP
In this article, Alex Woodie covers the recent news about BCD Software and Zend’s expanded partnership, which aims to establish both organisations as the primary resource for PHP on the IBM i.Zend president Stu Schmidt says:
“We picked BCD Software as a partner because they provide world-class IBM i web application development services and support. We see BCD as a key strategic partner who will help modernization efforts and PHP in general on IBM i grow and prosper while providing tremendous value to our IBM i clients.”
Quadrant simplifies path to FOIP glory
In this recent article, Alex Woodie looks at the release of QuadraDocV version 5.5 Service Pack 6 by Quadrant Software. Woodie highlights new features in SP6 that increase functionality and ease-of-use for QuadraDocV customers:
“With a new release of Quadrant Software’s QuadraDocV FoIP software, the vendor added a graphical wizard that significantly simplifies the setup process”.
Winning PHP app pops IBM i precepts
This particular article examines news about Proximity and Scandinavian House‘s recent SHD Logistics Award 2015 win in the Innovation Technology category. The award was granted for Stream, the PHP-based application that Proximity developed to provide order, delivery, and transportation management capabilities:
“Proximity knew how powerful the IBM i platform was, so it selected the best architectural components it could find, including PHP, RPG, DB2, Zend Server middleware, and BCD Software (now Fresche Solutions)’s reporting tools”.
