This seems like news. http://www.iiug.org/en/2017/04/17/ibm-and-hcl-strategic-partnership-to-joint ly-develop-and-market-ibm-informix/ Effective May 1, 2017, HCL will take over development and support of the Informix product family. Product strategy, marketing and sales efforts continue to be led by IBM with HCL participating and expanding routes to market. Experience for customers remains unchanged. Existing customer agreements, first point of contact, new licenses or extensions to existing entitlements continue to be through IBM. Andrew

It looks like this will be an exciting talking point at IIUG 2017 next week. Hopefully 11.70.xC9 will be announced too. Do IBM or HCL have a press release or communication to customers about this? I hope no-one is adversely affected by this. Ben.

Yes, I imagine there will be lots to talk about next week. I can't find a related press release on IBM's or HCL's site. Nothing on Google either. This link on iiug.org is all I can find. It is the first news item on iiug.org.
