Staff augmentation is simply the use of outside personnel to augment internal teams. The term of a staff augmentation contract might be temporary (ie. the length of a major project) or indefinite (for example, renewed annually depending on IT work needs).
In this blog, we explain why and provide a breakdown of how our team organizes a Power i / IBM i security audit.
IBM i 7.5 features an array of enhancements that keeps your environment as secure as possible while continuing to add new functionality.
The retirement of a key internal IT resource can pose serious risks to a business’s operations, particularly if it is sudden or unplanned. The hiring market for specific technology skillsets is already challenging. And the labor pool is even smaller (and shrinking fast) for legacy applications.
IBM i provides outstanding long-term value to so many different organizations due, among other things, to its outstanding stability and security. Indeed, many IBM i systems can keep performing for years with virtually no attention. But no system is invulnerable or permanently maintenance-free!Â
KBM ERP software continues to provide value to hundreds of manufacturers, but finding support for this legacy software is no longer easy.
JD Edwards enjoyed a longtime working relationship with IBM, resulting in many companies that rely on IBM i to run ERP solutions like JD Edwards World, OneWorld, and Enterprise One (with World running exclusively on IBM i).
We think many businesses would benefit from a similar mindset shift when it comes to moving their applications to third-party servers. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offers more flexible, cost-effective, and de-risked options than ever before. But a traditional mindset keeps far too many companies locked into IT management arrangements that are unnecessarily costly and cumbersome.
In this blog, we take a look at why.
In this blog, we discuss a report on the total cost of ownership (TCO) of IBM i and Power i servers. ProCern’s ground-level experience working with a variety of manufacturing and distribution companies across North America suggests that this IBM pairing can be extremely effective, generating substantial long-term ROI.
The benefits of utilizing a managed service provider (MSP) to manage your IT infrastructure can be substantial.
In this article, we take a look at how IBM i’s ability to be integrated with other systems is an important part of its long-term value proposition—and how careful long-term planning is a must to ensure continued agility.
When managing a portfolio of enterprise applications, choosing the right support option presents a chronic strategic dilemma. While vendors offer unmatched expertise for new product offerings, their commitment to past versions of the same software can fade fast.
