The perfect balance between standard builds and custom development.
Today there’s no longer a radical difference between different concepts. Customers need hybrid architectures that allow them to use standard builds when these are cost-effective and readily available. But when your business requires bespoke solutions, they need to be developed quickly and skilfully to add value to your business and increase your competitive advantage.
Bye-bye succession worries.
Replacing the whole application landscape solely because some IBM i experts are retiring is risky and often has serious consequences. Use the experience and capacity of our IBM i team to remain agile in the short term. You’ll gain the breathing space you need to obtain in-depth advice about the right fit and the future of your IBM i applications so you can make a well-reasoned decision.
Wherever you’re headed, we’ll get you to your destination.
Our experienced IBM i experts modernize your applications on the IBM i platform using state-of-the-art methods, or handle the switch to standard solutions such as SAP. We are also happy to provide strategic advice as part of software assessments, so you can make well-founded decisions.
IBM i (AS400) surface modernisation rethought. Holistic. Open to the future.
In order to successfully modernise IBM i interfaces, it is necessary to look at the appearance and operation as well as to take stock of the processes. With iOpen, we accompany you from the analysis to the selection of the right tools and jointly evaluate all aspects to ensure a future-proof and comprehensive improvement of your IBM i applications.
No RPG on IBM i?
We also do COBOL!
Although 19% of all applications on IBM i are implemented in COBOL (HelpSystems’s IMB i Marketplace Survey 2021), COBOL users on IBM i often feel neglected. Not with us! Our team has extensive COBOL experience and sufficient capacity to help you, too.
We provide support where it’s needed, whether you want us to provide a few days of coding or completely take over your core system.
PKS provided a quick and efficient solution at short notice, allowing us to maintain our usual level of customer satisfaction at a time of upheaval in our systems.
