ST. LOUIS – July 6, 2021

Connectria and New Generation Software (NGS) announce a mutually beneficial partnership supporting IBM i users. As a recognized leader in IBM Power Systems hosting and cloud services, Connectria’s services and support will bring incredible value to this partnership with NGS, providing enhanced software solution for both companies existing IBM i customers and prospects.

Based in Sacramento, California, NGS has provided technical expertise to the IBM i community since its founding in 1982. NGS has maintained an excellent relationship with IBM since the company’s inception. NGS is an IBM Business Partner and active supporter of the COMMON User Group and other user groups across North America. In addition to IBM, NGS has fostered strong business relationships with numerous independent software vendors and IBM solution providers.

NGS is an independent provider of query, reporting, and analytics software that helps IBM i customers operate more effectively, efficiently, and intelligently.
