IBM i: Managed Services overcome the age pyramid

Klartext “Age pyramid? So what!”

DV-Dialog, Issue 05-06/2023

By: Berthold Wesseler Demographic change has long since reached the IBM i market. Companies are faced with the challenge of maintaining the stability and performance of their IBM i systems, while the expertise of their experienced employees is diminishing as a result of demographic change. The shortage of skilled workers makes it even more difficult to find qualified personnel to operate the AS/400.
The use of managed services offers a promising solution to this problem. One of the main advantages of managed services is that companies have access to a team of experts who are available to them around the clock. This reduces dependency on individual employees while maintaining high performance and reliability of IBM i systems. Migration to the cloud also offers a number of benefits. Companies can scale their resources as required – a not insignificant cost aspect. Cloud migration also enables access to the latest technologies and services that improve the performance and security of IBM i systems.
Security is becoming more important than ever in times of ransomware attacks and compliance guidelines. Specialists in cloud operations also ensure the best possible expertise in this area, without the company having to invest a great deal of effort itself. Demographic change requires innovative solutions. By combining cloud migration and managed services, companies can benefit from the advantages of both approaches. Managed services providers not only support the planning and implementation of cloud migration. They also ensure that the IBM i systems run smoothly at all times and provide continuous monitoring, maintenance and support. In doing so, they ensure the highest security standards, regular updates and backups. It’s time to take advantage of these innovative approaches and defy the age pyramid.
