When a software version reaches its End of Service date - when support is no
longer available through standard Software Subscription and Support — there
is no need to tackle support issues on your own. Discover new flexible
options available to you when your Informix software reaches End of Service.
Available for Informix versions 7.3, 9.4 and 10, these options will provide you
with access to expert IBM Support professionals and will help you maintain
business continuity until you upgrade to the latest version of Informix. We will
also cover best practices when upgrading from Informix 10 to Informix 11.50;
including upgrading standalone and replicated environments.
Presentation material will be available at
