How Our Experts Deliver Real Impact
Talent Shortages
System Constraints
Risk & Liability
IBM i experts are steadily retiring, leaving a steep learning curve for new hires and risking business continuity for core operations that rely on IBM i applications and data.
Leverage scalable, flexible expertise with the world’s largest IBM i team.
Through partnering with us, you gain immediate access to the world’s largest bench of IBM i resources. You can hire experienced consultants, administrators, team leads, developers, and even full teams in order to plan and execute your projects. 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.
Not only can we help out on mission-critical projects, but we’ll even provide training and documentation to your in-house team, so you’re all set for the future.
Well-established IBM i systems may still be relying on outdated or bottle-necked processes, significantly limiting performance and agility to meet evolving business needs.
Implement scalable solutions that last – without the system overhaul.
Our advisory services combine AI-assisted analysis with hands-on industry expertise to assess your current state, develop modernization strategies, and stabilize operations. Through key integrations with your core systems for cloud and other technologies, we equip you with modern capabilities without disrupting your existing ecosystem – taking you from “what’s working” to “what’s next”.
Systems that contain outdated hardware or software face escalating maintenance costs, as well as run the risk for security breaches, downtime, and noncompliance.
Upgrade seamlessly by leveraging deep platform expertise.
Leverage experts with decades of platform experience to deliver secure, high-uptime infrastructure certified to ISO27001 and ISO42001 standards. We can guide migrations as well as advise on the best infrastructure to meet both current and future needs. Whether you need a purpose-built solution or are modernizing entire systems, we help minimize risk and disruption at every stage.

What Our Clients Say
Are “Very Happy” and “Very Effective” the highest I can go? Changes are made quickly and correctly. My programmers here hate the way I test their code because I always find a way to break it. I’ve tried to break the PIO code and I couldn’t.
Vice President of Operations
They have worked very hard to understand our highly customized system. Without the hard work and dedication they have shown, I know we would have had some issues causing downtime or lost production.
Information Technology Supervisor
Very responsive and explains things to me in a way I can understand since I am not an AS400 person at all. The level of service and support with them is one of the best I have had with an outside contractor.

FAQ
Does IBM still make iSeries?
IBM no longer manufactures the iSeries. However, they continue to support and develop its successor, the IBM Power Systems. The iSeries has evolved into the current IBM Power Systems running the IBM i operating system. These modern systems continue to support the applications and data that initially ran on the iSeries, providing enhanced performance, scalability, and reliability.
If you have existing AS400/iSeries hardware, we can still provide comprehensive maintenance and support to ensure it operates smoothly and efficiently. Additionally, we can help you plan and execute an upgrade to the latest IBM Power Systems if you want to modernize your infrastructure.
