A surprisingly large number of organizations are still using IBM AS/400 servers. However, the expertise to operate these tough old machines is fading away—people retire, the local IT rep closes down their shop, techs move on. And nobody is teaching this stuff in schools today.
We get many calls like this:
“We have an AS/400 and our biggest customer just told us we have to do ‘X’ or it’s all over, and we have no idea how—can you help us??”
‘X’ being something like move to barcoding, or EDI, or print a specific, new report.
Their client is forcing them to move into the modern age NOW—yet they’re still using the AS/400. What’s old is new again!
In nearly every case KDI can help. This can lead to some funny situations, like one of our techs running to a bookshelf seeking a font manual that hasn’t been cracked open in a dozen years. But we’ve got the expertise.
Just because you’ve got an AS/400 doesn’t mean you’re looking at a huge infrastructure re-investment when your customer insists that you jump into the digital age. You needn’t throw anything away! What’s old can be new again—if you call the programmers with the right expertise.
