A quite important call is received in the oval office, on the phone sitting at the very Resolute desk, HCL Informix is there. A transaction is processed at the biggest retail chain store in the world, HCL Informix is there. You just checked in at many of big hotels in the globe, HCL Informix is there. You chose your tools at the biggest home improvement retailer worldwide, HCL Informix is there. You take a certain taxi in Paris and get your trip processed, HCL Informix is also there. You buy some food at a French chain in Buenos Aires, and HCL Informix is there. A utility company in Germany will offer flat rates and improve the use of energy at home with sensors, with HCL Informix running on a little Raspberry Pi. A major global parcel system runs your shippings on HCL Informix too. Have a Pilsener in Prague, and the bill tax information goes to HCL Informix. We can go hours on this, the very same database running on a complex distributed MPP environment down to a Raspberry Pi in the palm of your hand. No one else can do that. We can say HCL Informix is everywhere, and very much alive!

As most of you know, there was an agreement between IBM and HCL on IP and licensing rights. I found this explanation very appropriate so I won't extend too much in these details.

There is a lot to talk and histories to share about HCL Informix, however, I want to focus on the present and the future of HCL Informix: our Go to Market and product roadmap.

We will accelerate the development of new features. Our Labs are intensively working on that and we’re growing our capacity with new engineers being added to the team. There is a new and positive energy going on! By the way, there will be new and bigger offices in Lenexa.

We'll also make HCL Informix available in all commercial clouds.
We already have HCL Informix available in IBM Softlayer / Bluemix and we are moving forward on delivering hosted versions and progressively move up to a full RDS offering step by step. We're going to be in AWS in the next 60 days and then to Google and Azure following on. This strategic move is not only about our current and important installed base but it is also about early adoption at product design stages. We need to have a new generation of programmers and IOT product designers knowing and trying the power and strength of a proven unparalleled platform and we have to make it easy for them! That also includes new languages, natively connected with HCL Informix, such as Python, in our product roadmap.

On the other hand, we will simplify licensing models and upgrades, making sure we have flexibility for all models of deployment: on premise, hybrid or pure cloud.

No secrets about our intentions: we will keep having HCL Informix everywhere and we will reclaim the high position this loved and renowned brand deserves!

We're very proud and excited with our plan and our vision and we do know that time will test our words. Now it's time to deliver. We also need you to spread the word: HCL Informix is in a big comeback.

Please don't hesitate in contacting us, requesting for a meeting or a telepresence. We're working very close with the IIUG and its different chapters and partners, and also collaborating with many social media HCL Informix groups... everywhere!

Thanks!
Marcelo

Companies should always improve what they offer to their customers. There should always be a fresh, new idea to offer the market because if not, the market will choose another company to be loyal to. This is one way of keeping customers loyal to your company. They need to see that the company is concerned with their requests and preferences. There should be something that the company can offer to their target market that their competitors cannot offer to the same market.
