Cross-Platform Integration Who can offer combined IBM i, .Net, and web and mobile development?

Whilst there may be plenty of specialist Microsoft companies around, Astech is one of very few that can offer high quality cross-platform expertise.

Often IBM i is the original system, installed at great expense and running well for many years. But what if you want to increase the capacity or functionality of the system by using a Microsoft application? Will the add-on be compatible? How will you integrate your core IBM i business systems with your online operations and increasingly critical web and mobile applications?

Astech has one of the largest dedicated IBM i teams in the UK and combine this with a highly skilled, in-house group of software developers with considerable experience in the latest .NET, web and mobile applications.

Many of our clients have benefitted from this rare combination of skills. On the one hand we help clients to adapt and enhance their existing IBM i system, with all its advantages in security, performance and resilience, rather than undertake a costly replacement. On the other hand we can ensure a smooth integration between IBM i and Microsoft systems, and with the web and mobile interfaces increasingly used by customers and staff, such as integrating e-commerce applications with customers’ critical iSeries-based order fulfilment and supply chain systems.

Sometimes Astech are involved in a more strategic programme to support IT managers with their change plans such as phasing out IBM i modules in stages.

“Most businesses’ IT systems rely on multiple platforms, languages and databases. We can deliver better solutions for our customers because we're not limited by the restrictions of any single platform.” Mark, IBM i / web / .Net Developer at Astech

We are used as a safe pair of hands to take over the day-to-day support of existing systems leaving IT managers free to work with the internal teams on training and change management.
