From orders to invoices and everything in between, whether the standard is Tradacoms, Edifact, Ansi X12 or a flat file transfer, we have the experience to be able to successfully implement the right software, hardware and services solution for you.

AS/400 and OS/400 no longer exist!

For years the hardware we have worked on has been called the AS/400 and the operating system has been called OS/400, but not any more. The hardware has undergone a number of name changes from AS/400 to AS/400e, iSeries, System i and now Power Systems. Similarily, the operating system name has changed from OS/400 to i5/OS and is now simply called i. So we are now running IBM i on Power Systems! IBM i also runs on some older versions of hardware.

Dont get stuck on an out of date operating system

Have you upgraded to Version 6 Release 1 of IBM i yet and if not, why not? V6R1 has been available for over a year now and provides loads of new features which can be used by everyone. If you are on V5R4 or V5R3 you can upgrade directly to V6R1 but versions before V5R3 require a two step upgrade. IBM currently support V6R1 and V5R4 only. Support for V5R3 was withdrawn on 30th April 2009 and for V5R2 on 30th April 2007. If you have not already done so, you should plan to upgrade to V6R1 during 2009. Learn more here ...
