i-Community Sponsors
Why are they involved?
Our sponsors recognise the very special nature, not just of of the IBM i platform, but also of the community that surrounds it. They are keen to work with like-minded people to provide the UK IBM i community with both a forum for interaction and a channel for making its voice heard at a strategic level in IBM.
What do they do?
Although i-Community is not a profit-making initiative, it obviously needs a solid financial basis; it also needs an infrastructure (membership and event management, this website, etc.). Our sponsors collectively provide these. More importantly, they use their extensive contacts and knowledge to help identify the best topics, and to line up the best speakers for i-Community meetings.
What do they bring?
Each sponsor offers a different angle on the world of IBM i, helping us identify relevant topics and speakers, but also giving members direct access to any appropriate UK-based specialists they may need.
