IBM i & ERP

Your core system works. Let's make it do more.

IBM i and ERP systems run the business for good reason. We add APIs, modern screens, cleaner code and AI on top, so you keep what works and gain what's missing, without a risky rewrite.

Where we come in

Sound familiar?

These are the moments teams usually call us. Each one is a good place to start.

  • Your IBM i runs the business and you want to build more on top of it.
  • Long-time RPG experts are nearing retirement and their knowledge needs capturing.
  • Other systems and partners need ERP data in real time.
  • You want AI to answer questions from your Db2 for i data.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot.

Do we have to replace our IBM i?

No. IBM i is a modern, supported platform. We extend it with APIs, interfaces and AI instead of replacing it.

Can you help if our RPG developer is retiring?

Yes. We document what your programs do, modernize the code so it is easier to maintain, and can support it directly.

Which ERPs do you work with?

BPCS 4.x through 8.x, Infor LX and VAI S2K, plus custom applications on IBM i.

Can our users keep the screens they know?

Yes. Modernization happens in small steps behind the scenes. Users keep familiar screens, and new web screens are added where they help most.
