Modernize Your Code, Database and UI -
Your Way, Within Your Budget.
IBM i is built to last, but outdated interfaces, rigid applications, and database limitations slow your business down. The challenge isn’t whether to modernize—it’s how to do it efficiently, without disruption or a massive resource drain.
This three-part webinar series is designed for IT leaders who want to modernize now—without long-term commitments. With Modernization as a Service, you get a flexible, outcome-driven approach that lets you modernize at your own pace with subscription-based, pay-as-you-go services.
Each session breaks modernization into achievable steps:
