Big news is coming for the IBM i community.

IBM has announced a new IBM Bob Premium Package for i, set to become available June 24. This is another important step in how IBM continues to evolve and streamline access to modern capabilities across the IBM i ecosystem.

While details are still emerging, the direction is clear: making it easier for organizations to adopt and package modernization capabilities in a more structured, accessible way. For teams working in enterprise development, integration, and platform modernization, this is worth paying attention to.

What stands out most is the continued momentum around simplifying how IBM i environments can extend into modern architectures, whether through APIs, integration layers, or new bundled offerings like this one.

Exciting times ahead for the community as we continue to see investment and innovation in the platform many organizations still rely on every day.
