IBM launched its AS/400 software back in 1988. Fast forward over three decades and many businesses are still very much invested in developing and maintaining their IBM i.
If you’re looking to unlock the full potential of cloud, KFA can help.
IBM i technology is still favoured by many different industries around the globe.
The fact that since its launch – in 1988, there have been many features and updates introduced has certainly helped to keep their users invested in the operating system.
The most recent version, IBM i 7.4 was released in June 2019.
Its power, speed, reliability and security capabilities as well as the fact that (with a skilled development team) software that is run on it is also highly customisable. IBM has proved that its operating system is here to stay.
Whether you would prefer an on-premise IBM i upgrade, or a new cloud-hosted IBM i Power System – our team are experienced with implementing both options and so are well-placed to assist with your decision-making process.
IBM i in the Cloud
IBM i in the cloud means fewer problems with hardware and software compatibility and of course the older the system, the greater the risk of outage and failure. Operating systems that are no longer supported by IBM are not SOX compliant.
We manage upgrades completely – ensuring a smooth transition and minimal disruption to our customers (and subsequently, their customers too).
The benefits of IBM i in the cloud will be seen straight away as they are significantly faster and you won’t need to worry about powering or cooling costs – making it better for the environment too!
Looking to Move to IBM i in the Cloud?
If your in-house development team are too busy with the day-to-day running of the business to manage moving to a cloud-hosted IBM i Power System, we can help.
The KFA team can manage the transition and data migration for you, ensuring that the switch over to the cloud is carried out at a time which will cause minimal disruption to the day-to-day running of your business and more importantly – your customers.
We also offer the skills to provide application development, application modernisation and ongoing support should you wish to put searching for qualified AS400 staff behind you.
