"Application modernization" is a pseudo marketing term that is often used when we talk about the future of legacy systems. It pops up a lot these days, and that's fine because many of our business applications were developed 10, 20, even 30 years ago, and it's not hard to believe that they need to be modernized.
Companies now must re-orient their IT efforts to incorporate multiple platforms for diverse software applications. Building a multi-platform development process around the IBM i is an opportunity for IT to combine the platform’s traditional strengths of reliability and security with newer technologies such as WebSphere, Java and SOA. In this whitepaper you will learn how companies can benefit from a comprehensive ALM system that addresses the added intricacies of multi-platform development.
Learn to evaluate the future viability and potential challenges of IBM i on Power Systems, as well as IBM legacy midrange systems, to determine your organization's strategy for the platform.
Many organizations are apprehensive about buying or staying with the IBM i (iSeries) due to a perception that it is a dying platform.
"The perception is that it is older technology," says Jeff Lutgen, vice president of IT at Delta Dental of Wisconsin. "You need to look past that when evaluating this platform. We could move to a new system that is thought to be more current, but it may be more prone to downtime, be less efficient, and cost more overall," he says.
