IBM i (AS400) Modernization

Eliminate technical debt and secure the future of your mission-critical applications. From RPG ILE refactoring to ASNA Monarch web conversions and GoAnywhere integrations.

5250 to Web via ASNA Monarch

We specialize in leveraging the ASNA Monarch Base Framework to migrate legacy RPG/CL logic into modern .NET and Razor Pages environments without losing functional fidelity.

  • GamePlans & Class Libraries: We restructure monoliths into cleanly separated UI (Razor Pages/ASP.NET) and business logic (C# Class Libraries).
  • ASNA DataGate Integration: Ensuring seamless, high-speed communication between the migrated .NET frontend and the original DB2/400 backend.
.NET Architecture

Target Architecture

C# .NET Core + Razor Pages connected to IBM DB2.

Free-Format RPG ILE Refactoring

Legacy fixed-format RPG is notoriously difficult to maintain. Our certified architects conduct comprehensive Code Modernization to future-proof your IP.

Fully Free-Form

Converting fixed-format RPG400 to modern, readable Free-Format RPG ILE, allowing younger developers to easily manage the codebase.

Modularization

Decoupling monolithic programs into agile Service Programs and modules, enabling a robust API-driven ecosystem.

X-Analysis

Utilizing X-Analysis to map undocumented systems, generate relational data models, and identify dead code before refactoring.

AI-Powered Legacy Discovery

We accelerate the modernization lifecycle by integrating advanced AI and LLM Code Assistants (such as IBM watsonx for RPG and Enterprise GPT models) into our reverse-engineering workflows.

  • Automated Documentation: Rapidly translating decades-old, undocumented monolithic RPG logic into plain English business rules to ensure safe extraction.
  • Refactoring Acceleration: AI-assisted scaffolding of C# classes from legacy business rules, significantly reducing time-to-market for ASNA Monarch migrations.

AI Integration

IBM watsonx & Enterprise LLMs for rapid legacy comprehension.

GoAnywhere MFT & EDI Integrations

Secure Workflows

Automated PGP encryption and SFTP tunneling for critical enterprise data.

We architect secure, automated data exchange workflows using GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer (MFT).

Our implementations replace fragile FTP scripts and manual CL programs with centralized, audited MFT workflows that seamlessly integrate with IBM i, Windows, and Linux servers.

  • AS2 and EDI X12 mapping for Supply Chain networks.
  • Mule ESB Integration for real-time API syncing.
