History and relevance of IBM i today

IBM i, launched in 1988, is the evolution of the AS/400 system, designed to be robust, scalable and secure.
Over more than three decades, it has maintained its mission to provide a stable and reliable platform for enterprise data management.
The latest release, IBM i 7.5, includes key enhancements in security, performance and cloud integration, reinforcing its relevance in today’s IT environment.

Current RPG use cases: Can I have the ticket?

RPG (Report Program Generator) continues to be fundamental to many organizations using IBM i, especially in industries such as banking, manufacturing and retail.
RPG has been updated with modern programming techniques, making it as relevant today as it was in its early days.
For example, when you pay at a supermarket, the ticket and associated processes (inventory, ordering, invoicing) are managed by a program in RPG on an IBM Power system running IBM i.

Don’t call me AS/400

An interesting anecdote about IBM i is that its predecessor, the AS/400, was introduced in 1988 as a system “as easy to use as a refrigerator”.
At a time when computer systems were complicated, this promise highlighted IBM i as a revolutionary system in terms of accessibility and simplicity.
Although the name has changed, if you need an AS/400 course, we can arrange that too.
