July 1st was the 10 year anniversary of the IBM acquisition of Informix. Since the acquisition, Informix has releases version 9.3, 9.4, 10.0, 11.10, 11.15, and 11.70. A few days ago, we releases 11.70.xC3. Other recent addition include the Informix Warehouse accelerator that introduce game changing technology for the data warehouse/data mart area. Add to that the Informix-Genero for fast application development and mobile applications.

So much has happened in these 10 years. Go take a look at Informix. Download one of the free edition and give it a try. For people that think they know Informix, go take a look at the large number of improvements we've added to it over the years. Go visit www.ibm.com/software/data/informix and find out more about what is going on. The IBM Information on Demand conference is coming up. This is the best way to learn about the latest capabilities and network with Informix partners, customers, and IBMers. The conference is held in Las Vegas October 23-27.

Now that my major deliverables are done in xC3, I'll be back regularly to talk to you about these major improvements and how many people can take advantage of them.

Ten years with IBM and going strong. There is so much more to come. Stay tuned!
