Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Change: Need support for Windows Server 2012 compatibility

We currently have Change 5.3.0 and Synergy 7.2.0 hosted on the same
physical server running Windows Server 2003, providing config/change
control for a long-life (25-years or more) software product line. This
host OS is nearing end-of-life and our IT needs us to move to Windows
Server 2012.
