If you're into InterSystems tech, keep reading...

This one's for those of you who feel that InterSystems tech makes your life easier... whether you’re working on integration projects, building innovative solutions, or evolving existing ones.

I’d like to do a little experiment with you...

If you've ever worked with other programming languages, database engines, interoperability frameworks, or tech stacks in general...


👉 What stands out to you about InterSystems IRIS Data Platform? What feels innovative, surprising, or like a clear step up? And, in your case, compared to what?

It could be anything — architecture, a specific feature, dev tools, the language, performance, built-in libraries, high availability, connectivity...
Whatever makes your life easier as an integrator or solution builder.

But here’s the twist:
🔹 If you had to pick just one thing... what would it be?

Come on, drop your thoughts in the comments! Chances are we’ll all learn something new from each other.

To me, the most impressive fact about InterSystems is that it doesn't
hide or deny its roots or reject its history, and keep its backward compatibility.

I remember a customer who had composed and used an incredible complicated
program to create knitwear patterns with his equipment for over 30 years without change.
When he migrated to IRIS it was running perfectly without changing a single bit.

This still impresses me more than all the new language features
that force me to adjust versions as an ongoing challenge.
