Niche Talent
Limited Documentation
Change Risk
Investing in IBM i applications can be difficult due to limited resources in languages like RPG, COBOL, and Synon.
Leverage the next generation of battle-tested IBM i talent.
At Programmers.io, we don’t view legacy languages as “outdated”. We support the promising future of the IBM i platform by training up talent in legacy development methodologies, as well as modern, free-format, and integrated language variants. You can tap into this bench of skilled developers and get our hires started in as little as 7 days.
Experienced talent is cross trained in other platforms, technologies, and AI tools, while fresh talent is trained for a minimum of 1.5 years before starting on your projects.
Poor or missing documentation can increase dependency on key individuals – creating risks for business continuity, scalability and long-term compliance.
Skip the troubleshooting and unlock maintainable, scalable code.
We want your success, not your dependance. With decades of platform experience and an in-house AI code analysis tool, our team can help reverse-engineer your code in a fraction of the time.
