Overcoming IBM Power Systems (AS/400) Modernization Challenges
IBM Power Systems (AS/400) have been the backbone of many businesses for decades. While these systems are robust, they often face compatibility issues with modern applications and SaaS solutions. This opens opportunities for innovative integrations and customizations that can significantly enhance your systems. Addressing data silos, security concerns, resource constraints, and system documentation can lead to a more efficient and secure IT environment.
Here is a list of common challenges we see across our customer base and how our full-service team of expert consultants and developers can help you solve any need:
Security Concerns
While modernizing or rewriting software can simplify the integration of IBM i systems with next-generation applications, the complexity and expense often deter businesses from pursuing these solutions. For many, the integration between cloud-based systems and on-premises IBM i environments raises concerns about the security of sensitive data.
Resource Constraints
A common challenge for organizations is the lack of expertise, tools, and comprehensive system architecture documentation. This can cause hesitation when considering modernization or integration with cutting-edge technologies. Compatibility issues also arise when businesses rely on multi-language systems across industries like finance, IT, and manufacturing, making seamless integration with IBM i a daunting task.
Tribal Knowledge and Overburdened Project Teams
Additionally, inadequate system documentation leaves many organizations unsure of how to proceed with modernization or integration efforts. Overburdened IT teams, often dealing with backlogs and limited resources, further contribute to delays in completing these crucial projects.
