Approach to Successfully Modernizing IBM i (formerly AS/400) - The Method of "Data Model + Low-Code Development Platform"

アイティーエス

Companies that have been operating IBM i (formerly AS/400) for many years are facing serious challenges directly related to business continuity, such as a shortage of personnel, lack of clarity regarding the scope of impact, over-reliance on specific individuals, and development delays. While a complete overhaul is high-cost and high-risk, there are also limits to maintaining the current system—many companies are grappling with this dilemma. In this webinar, we will introduce a practical approach using "data model design" and the "Low-Code Platform RakuRaku Framework3," which allows for gradual improvements while leveraging DB2 for i assets. We will present "realistic options" that enable companies hesitant to undertake a complete overhaul to make steady progress, addressing issues like eliminating black-box operations, improving development efficiency, and responding to personnel shortages. We will also provide insights and methodologies that will be useful for companies in the consideration phase, such as "Where should we start?" "Should we choose a complete overhaul or gradual improvement?" and "How should we leverage our current assets?" ~Recommended for~ - Those who have concerns about operating IBM i - Those who want to eliminate over-reliance on specific individuals and black-box operations - Those who are unsure about how to proceed with modernization - Those who find a complete overhaul difficult and seek gradual improvements - Those who want to continue maintenance and development with a small team - Those who want to promote DX by leveraging IBM i assets
