IBM i Expertise
IBM i expertise for business-critical applications
ValFox understands IBM i not only as a platform, but as part of established business processes. We combine deep application knowledge with modern integration and controlled evolution.
Platform and applications
Deep system knowledge. Open to integration
Our experience covers established AS/400, iSeries, System i and IBM i landscapes as well as their connection to new technologies.
ILE RPG and ILE COBOL
Enhance existing applications reliably and integrate new functionality cleanly.
- New development and enhancement
- Defect correction and refactoring
- Maintainable program structures
SQL and databases
Use data efficiently, understand structures and implement reliable reporting and processes.
- Db2 for i and SQL
- Data analysis and optimisation
- Data migration and cleansing
Interfaces and integration
Connect IBM i applications with surrounding systems, partners and new platforms in a controlled manner.
- APIs and data exchange
- Batch and real-time integration
- Monitoring and error handling
Modernisation
Preserve proven business logic while selectively renewing user experience, architecture or technical components.
