Profound.js is a low-code, JavaScript/Node.js solution that runs on all platforms—including IBM i—and is built specifically for developers. It's the first true low-code platform to run natively on IBM i, with full RPG/DB2 integration, helping companies move into the future without losing years of IT investment.
Are you still writing code for every custom requirement? Increase the speed of application development by 10x—decrease your never-ending backlog of IT projects, and find the resources you need to replace the wave of retiring legacy code developers.
Reduce the time it takes to build custom business applications and clear your backlog by delivering functionality, not plumbing.
Easily jump between low-code plugins and hand-coding—without exporting code out of one programming paradigm into another.
Rapidly rewrite legacy and desktop applications so they run on any browser and any sized device with a fully responsive design.
Directly interface with systems of record on IBM i and Db2 by calling your existing programs and service programs.
Effective developers don't code everything from scratch—their goal is to deliver functionality and value, not produce more code. Gartner predicts low-code application development will encompass more than half of all application development.
The best way to simplify any project is to reduce the number of moving pieces—using fewer programming languages, not more. When you double down on JavaScript, it streamlines everything else: development, integration, training, and hiring.
Rebuild desktop applications as responsive web or mobile apps, modernize legacy applications on an existing database, build internal tools, and replace applications built on Java and .Net.
Develop business logic in JavaScript on Node.js with visual drag-and-drop tooling, build scalable multi-user database-driven applications, and switch to fine-tune the code whenever you need to.
One-click deployment to IBM i, your other servers, or the cloud—with any relational database you choose, including MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL, MariaDB, and IBM i Db2, drawing data from multiple sources.
Cloud-based collaborative development or native installation on IBM i, graphical and terminal-based Git source control with built-in GitHub integration, and access to the thousands of packages on npm.
Profound.js is built on Node.js—an open-source, cross-platform, back-end runtime environment for JavaScript. The same technology trusted by some of the world's most demanding organizations to build high-performance, highly scalable enterprise applications.
This isn't modernization – it's futurization. Your IBM i investment becomes more valuable, not obsolete.
See how Profound.js brings true low-code and Node.js to IBM i—so your team delivers business value instead of managing the plumbing.
