The IBM i Talent Crisis

The skills your business depends on are walking out the door

Veteran RPG and COBOL developers are retiring faster than they can be replaced, while business demands keep outpacing your team's capacity. The applications that run your enterprise can't afford a gap in expertise—but the talent to maintain and futurize them is harder to find every year.

Why It's Hard

Where most staffing strategies fall short

Veterans are retiring

Experienced RPG and COBOL developers are exiting the workforce faster than replacements can be trained, leaving critical knowledge gaps.

Generalists miss the mark

General staffing firms rarely have the specialized IBM i expertise your platform demands—so they can't be productive from day one.

Offshore turnover

Offshore augmentation often means high turnover, inconsistent quality, and costly rework that erodes any savings.

A growing backlog

Business needs keep outpacing capacity, and the modernization backlog grows while your team is stretched thin keeping the lights on.

How We Deliver

A fundamentally different kind of augmentation

  1. Trained experts, not generalists

    We staff your team with developers who already know IBM i—RPG, COBOL, CL, C/C++, Java, Node.js, and Python—so they contribute meaningfully from the start instead of learning your platform on your dime.

  2. Agentic coding environments that multiply output

    Our experts work inside AI-powered, agentic development environments designed to dramatically increase throughput, accelerating delivery well beyond what conventional staffing can achieve.

  3. Futurization built in, not just maintenance

    Beyond keeping the lights on, our team advances your platform—legacy transformation, API enablement, interface and mobile futurization, cloud integration, automated testing, and CI/CD.

  4. Stability without the overhead

    Get a dependable, expert team without the hiring search, onboarding ramp, or offshore turnover—scaling capacity up or down as your roadmap requires.

The Outcome

Specialized expertise that pays for itself

  • Multiply developer output with AI-powered, agentic coding environments
  • Cover the full stack—RPG, COBOL, CL, C/C++, Java, Node.js, and Python
  • Move beyond maintenance into legacy transformation and API enablement
  • Modernize interfaces and mobile experiences and integrate with the cloud
  • Build confidence with automated testing and CI/CD implementation
  • Lower total cost and reduce the rework that drains offshore engagements

This isn't modernization – it's futurization. The right people, working with the right AI tools, make your IBM i investment more valuable, not obsolete.
