Why AS400/IBM i Development For Your Project?

If there were a Mad Men show for technology, it would be about IBM’s AS/400 systems and RPGLE language. Conceived in the 1950s, IBM technologies dominated manufacturing and information technology to such a degree that almost 30,000 companies still maintain hardware and software related to IBM i Series, AS/400, SMART400, and RPGLE.

If there were a Mad Men show for technology, it would be about IBM’s AS/400 systems and RPGLE language. Conceived in the 1950s, IBM technologies dominated manufacturing and information technology to such a degree that almost 30,000 companies still maintain hardware and software related to IBM i Series, AS/400, SMART400, and RPGLE.

While some companies have retired AS/400 and IBM i Series, others retain them for good reasons. First, the work of moving from a legacy system that’s been around since the 1950s is an upheaval that requires choosing a new platform, installing and implementing new software, then auditing and updating data. The Mad Men of IBM’s AS/400 and the IBM i Series built a system that works like a tank with all of its redundancies, like a Mack truck with its power and performance – CPUs that are 3-5 times more powerful than competitors- as well as like a high-speed train. IBM i technology can be scaled from excellent small starter systems for mid-sized enterprises to powerful large servers and systems for large-size enterprises. Plus, it supports multiple operating systems.

Chances are, if your company needs IBM i developers, it’s because you trust your system, but you need to integrate ERP, cloud solutions, EDI, API, and frameworks to improve UI. The rub is finding AS/400 RPGLE programmers. The age of the IBM i systems means most of the hotshot developers retired, while younger developers trained in cloud solutions, the latest database management, and ERP/EDI/API/UI technologies.

Our AS/400/IBM iSeries programmers are specially trained professionals to use the RPG programming language to manipulate and solve current systems issues, including cloud computing, database management and development, and hardware solutions.

Our programmers create codes that can be integrated into business operations to ensure higher efficiency. On any day, our RPG programmers generate new code and maintain/update existing code programs. We also help you analyze, design, develop, and maintain your IBM i systems. Our programmers work with RPG, RPG ILE, RPG-Free, and SQL. They are experts in JD Edwards Cloud solutions, EDI integration, PrismERP, and Smart400 for fintech, B2B operations, e-commerce, and more.

Our developers draw from a wide variety of tools and technological expertise. They follow functional specifications to create technical documentation and develop pseudo codes, strengthen your existing code, or troubleshoot your business processes to diagnose where the issues are. They will help your enterprise modernize legacy code, integrate your ERP or EDI solutions, and develop/maintain applications. If you need support for existing software, they can help debug, locate, and solve issues.
