This section describes aspects of SkillUp specific to the AS400 platform (also known as iSeries, System i, IBM i, IBM Power Systems).

In these legacy systems, the program and archive park often constitutes the backbone of the entire company and in these cases the contribution of the SkillUp solution fully enhances the advantages it can offer.

SkillUP (iSeries Reengineering Tools) is a set of Consulting Services and Tools for companies with IBM i Systems (AS400).

The integrated approach of Consulting Services and Tools created ad hoc allow re-engineering and carrying out massive interventions on the Programs / Files of the company’s Information System.

This allows projects to be carried out reliably and in a short time, which would otherwise require more time and resources if carried out with a traditional approach.

SkillUP serves to identify and support the implementation of interventions on the entire company information system on the IBM i platform (AS400) following needs arising from reorganizations of the following type:

  • Operational / Business (merger or spin-off of company branches, transfer of outsourcing / insourcing functions, etc.).
  • Management / IT (transfer of functionality from / to standard packages, adaptation of IT structures to changing business needs, etc.).

SkillUP can help companies with IBM i Systems (AS400) to reorganize / modify / adapt their Information Systems. SkillUP, understood as a set of tools and related consultancy services, can be useful to all companies with information systems on the IBM i platform (AS400) that need to reorganise, modify, extend, adapt their Information Systems.
