Why modernize your IBM i application?

Proven IBM i applications are a high value asset to any organization. As well as mission-critical – they contain unique business rules that underpin your competitive advantage. Instead of a costly rip-and-replace, an automated modernization project preserves your proven business logic and leverages the security, reliability and low TCO of the IBM i. Plus it makes hiring and on-boarding new talent easier.

Wherever you are on the modernization journey – ARCAD for IBM i Modernization addresses each tier in the application stack, converting tried and trusted code into a cloud-ready n-tier application and Web/mobile experience. Automated, and at zero risk.
