LANSA BI 9.14: Modernize with Embedded BI, Coming May 14
LANSA BI 9.14 offers a compelling alternative to Db2 WebQuery for i. Fully compatible with IBM i environments, it streamlines embedded analytics through expanded APIs. More than just a replacement, it is a total upgrade for organizations looking to modernize operations and enable self-service business intelligence across all levels. “We all know how essential actionable business intelligence is to success,” shares Sean. “With LANSA BI, we’re simplifying insights delivery to business users with AI-powered tools and freeing developers to focus on other priorities. Imagine no longer waiting for reports — where frontline teams can simply check stock levels, KPIs, or metrics right within the systems they already use.”
LANSA BI 9.14 also includes a customizable sample application, making it even easier to deliver interactive reports to end-users. Notable UX enhancements, especially in the report builder, now support calculated totals and advanced styling options to meet more sophisticated reporting needs.

Visual LANSA V16: Extend Your IBM i Investments with Low-Code, Coming July 8
Recognizing that modernization looks different for every business, LANSA’s flagship low-code platform is evolving to support a variety of cross-platform goals in line with its mission to help developers build upon what’s working and deliver greater value. Visual LANSA V16 leverages extensible integrations using REST APIs, opening IBM i to modern front-end frameworks like React and Vue. This also enables organizations to break apart monolithic legacy systems into modular services and adopt newer technologies, including cloud solutions, for enhanced scalability and agility.
LANSA Professional Services offers expert guidance to help businesses safely refactor legacy systems and extend their lifespans. “Now, organizations can move toward a MACH architecture while preserving their trusted enterprise IBM i applications,” shared Steve Collins, LANSA Services Director.
Additionally, V16 brings WebView2 integration for embedding modern web content into Windows applications, OAuth 2.0 security for robust, centralized authentication, push notifications to enhance real-time user engagement, and Azure-ready licensing to streamline cloud deployments — equipping teams with the flexibility and tools to support a wide range of development projects. With this update, LANSA reminds existing customers to start planning their transition now as support for applications running on V14 and older will be deprecated.
