Integrate & Expose APIs

Break down integration barriers without breaking your systems

Turn IBM i assets into enterprise-ready APIs in hours, not months—connecting decades of refined business logic to cloud services, AI platforms, and partner systems.

The Challenge

Valuable IP shouldn't be a competitive liability

Your IBM i holds decades of refined business logic and critical data. But when you can't easily connect it to cloud services, AI platforms, or partner systems, that valuable IP becomes a liability instead of an advantage.

Legacy system isolation

Core systems stay trapped behind green screens and batch processes—and each new integration request demands custom development that takes months, not weeks.

Development capacity crisis

Backlogs grow faster than your team can execute, and specialists who combine deep IBM i knowledge with REST architecture expertise are scarce.

Speed vs. risk trade-off

Teams get stuck in a false dilemma—forced to choose between slow manual development and brittle, risky screen scraping.

How We Deliver

Modern integration, powered by Profound API

  1. Build visually, with low code

    Convert IBM i data and programs into RESTful APIs through a visual, low-code approach—no months-long custom development required.

  2. Integrate in both directions

    Bidirectional integration lets your legacy applications consume external APIs as easily as they expose their own.

  3. Document automatically

    Automatic OpenAPI documentation keeps every service discoverable and partner-ready from the moment it goes live.

  4. Secure and monitor by default

    Enterprise-grade security with built-in authentication and encryption, plus performance monitoring for real-time visibility.

Proven Results

Integration timelines measured in minutes

A banking institution

Service development time dropped from 8 weeks to 45 minutes—a 99% reduction—with a 23% revenue increase directly attributed to Profound API adoption.

Witra fashion logistics

Daily processing capacity doubled from 6,000 to 12,000 SKUs, driving a 30% increase in delivery volume.

This isn't modernization – it's futurization. Your IBM i investment becomes more valuable, not obsolete.

Why It Matters

Connect everything, replace nothing

  • Reduce integration timelines from months to weeks
  • Enable AI, analytics, and cloud integration without replacing core systems
  • Onboard partners and vendors faster through standardized APIs
  • Extend developer capacity with low-code API creation
  • Maintain platform flexibility across on-premises and cloud
