AS400 / RPG Developers
Legacy IBM i estates still run mission-critical workloads at banks, insurers, manufacturers, and distributors. We source experienced AS400 / RPG developers — including hybrid RPG IV / Free-Form modernizers — for contract, contract-to-hire, and direct placement engagements across Canada and the United States.
What you get
RPG IV, RPG/400 & Free-Form
Engineers fluent in modern RPG syntax, ILE service programs, and SQLRPGLE refactors of legacy fixed-format code.
IBM i / DB2 for i
Database modernization, journaling, triggers, and embedded SQL — all aligned to existing operations and change windows.
CL, COBOL/400 & MAPICS
Operators that can navigate decades of CL programs, BPCS, MAPICS, JDE World, and home-grown ERP layers.
Modernization & integration
Web-enable green-screens, expose IBM i logic as REST/JSON APIs, and integrate with Salesforce, SAP, and Azure data platforms.
Maintenance & support pods
Managed teams for L2/L3 production support so internal staff can focus on new product work.
Knowledge transfer
Documented handovers, runbooks, and pair-programming so know-how stays with your team — not the consultant.
