Enterprise modernization
Enterprise modernization

Capture the system knowledge before it leaves with the people who hold it.

We map RPG programs, DB2 for i files, jobs, screens, interfaces, and operator knowledge into a practical modernization sequence without pretending IBM i itself is the problem.

Discuss the assessment
Fixed-scope assessment$24,0003 weeks · read-only discovery

No agent installed in pre-production. We begin with evidence, dependencies, and operational reality—not a predetermined rewrite.

Our operating principle

We will tell you when not to modernize it—and we will not charge you for finding out.

Why this assessment exists

The platform is rarely the whole problem.

Business rules, integrations, operator knowledge, support clocks, and unknown consumers determine the safest path. We map those constraints before recommending retention, integration, incremental replacement, or retirement.

01

Critical operating knowledge is concentrated in a few people

We test this concern against observable system and operating evidence.

02

Batch and file dependencies are poorly documented

We test this concern against observable system and operating evidence.

03

Replacement plans confuse platform age with business risk

We test this concern against observable system and operating evidence.

Three-week output

A decision-ready modernization blueprint.

Every engagement ends with a traceable estate view, a prioritized sequence, and explicit uncertainties your team can resolve.

D-01

Program and file map

Calls, files, jobs, screens, queues, transfers, and external consumers connected.

D-02

Succession-risk view

Capabilities with concentrated knowledge and fragile operating procedures prioritized.

D-03

Modernization map

A sequence for retaining, exposing, improving, or replacing capabilities based on evidence.

How we work

Observe. Reconstruct. Sequence.

The exception path comes before the happy path. Recommendations stay reversible until the evidence supports commitment.

Week 01

Estate discovery

Repositories, configuration, data, jobs, interfaces, environments, ownership, and operating procedures.

Week 02

Rules and dependencies

Trace business behavior, exceptions, consumers, failure modes, and concentrated knowledge.

Week 03

Blueprint and readout

Compare practical paths, sequence the work, identify prerequisites, and document open decisions.
