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 IBM i in the 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 7.5 was released in June 2022.
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.
Benefits of IBM i in the Cloud
Embracing IBM i in the cloud minimises issues related to hardware and software compatibility.
Naturally, the older the system, the higher the likelihood of outages and failures. Operating systems that are no longer supported by IBM are not SOX compliant.
