Hi Community!

We have an update on the dates of the contest - it's extended until July 20. During InterSystems Ready 2025, we received numerous requests to do this, as many of you were focused on your presentations or other commitments related to the event and didn't have the opportunity to submit your ideas.

You asked, we listened!

Don't forget, for the idea to take part in the contest, it has to follow the structure:

  • Description of the idea
  • Who is the target audience?
  • What problem does it solve?
  • How does this impact the efficiency, stability, reliability, etc, of the product?
  • Provide a specific use case or scenario that illustrates how this idea could be used in practice.

At this point, we have a lot of interesting ideas, but they don't adhere to the terms, so they aren't considered for the contest. @Mark OReilly, @Andre Larsen Barbosa, @Abdul Manan, @Mary George, @Jeffrey Drumm, @Robert Barbiaux, @Sylvain Guilbaud, @Ashok Kumar T.
