The Hidden Superpowers of IBM i: Features You Didn’t Know You Already Have

Wednesday June 17, 2026 10:30 - 11:30 CEST

04 - RHÔNE 2

IBM i is famous for reliability — but it’s the underused, often overlooked features built directly into the platform that make it a true powerhouse for modern business. In this session, we’ll uncover the capabilities hiding in plain sight: tools and functions that come standard with IBM i yet rarely get the spotlight.We’ll explore surprising built-in technologies such as SQL services that replace entire utilities, database-driven system introspection, object management through simple queries, integrated open-source runtimes, and powerful automation features that eliminate scripting complexity. You’ll see how developers and administrators can leverage these out-of-the-box tools to simplify operations, improve visibility, accelerate development, and unlock new functionality without purchasing add-ons or deploying new servers.Through real examples and practical scenarios, we’ll demonstrate how these features can solve everyday challenges — from debugging and performance tuning to auditing, deployment automation, and API integration — all with the tools you already have.Whether you're a veteran IBM i professional or new to the platform, you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective and a toolkit of capabilities you can start using the moment you return to the office.
