Transform IBM i Systems Into  AI-Powered Competitive Advantages 

Add Intelligence Without Disrupting What Works

Your IBM i systems hold decades of proprietary business logic and competitive advantage. But while competitors deploy AI for predictive analytics, intelligent automation, and real-time decision support, your most valuable assets remain disconnected from the AI capabilities transforming your industry. The challenge isn’t your systems’ value—it’s unlocking that value through modern AI technologies. 

You’re facing a dual crisis: the developers who understand your custom logic are retiring, and the window for AI adoption is closing fast. Custom AI development projects stretch for months while your backlog grows. Meanwhile, business leaders are asking when you’ll deliver the AI-powered features customers now expect. 

We help you add AI capabilities to IBM i systems quickly and safely, combining custom AI development expertise with trained professionals who understand both legacy platforms and modern AI technologies. Whether you’re building intelligent assistants powered by MCP (Model Context Protocol), enabling predictive analytics, enabling predictive analytics, automating complex workflows, or enabling your team to do more with agentic coding, we accelerate your path from legacy constraints to AI-powered innovation.

The AI Integration Challenges Slowing Your Competitive Response

Your competitors are already leveraging AI for predictive maintenance, intelligent automation, and real-time decision support. But adding AI capabilities isn’t straightforward—especially when you’re short on developers who understand both worlds. You’re facing challenges that make AI feel impossible: 

Developer Talent Crisis

Your experienced IBM i developers are retiring, taking irreplaceable knowledge of custom business rules and system architectures with them. The developers who could integrate AI capabilities into your applications are increasingly scarce and expensive. Meanwhile, AI specialists don’t understand RPG or COBOL, creating a knowledge gap that delays every AI project. Projects sit in the backlog not because they lack business value, but because you lack the capacity to execute them before the competitive window closes. 

AI Development Complexity

Your most valuable business processesthe workflows and decision rules that differentiate you from competitorsneed AI enhancement to remain competitive. But building custom AI solutions requires specialized expertise in machine learning, model training, and enterprise integration that your legacy-focused team doesn’t have. While competitors deploy AI assistants that understand natural language queries and automate routine decisions, your teams struggle to even start AI initiatives. Development timelines that should take weeks stretch into months of custom coding, model experimentation, and integration challenges. 

AI Urgency

Business leaders need AI capabilities now, not in 18 months. Customers expect intelligent features that your current systems can’t deliver. Partners demand automated workflows that legacy architectures struggle to support. The gap between what the market requires and what your systems provide widens daily, threatening competitive position and customer satisfaction. Standing still means falling behind competitors who are already delivering AI-powered experiences. But traditional AI development timelines feel impossibly long when the business needs results this quarter. 

The cost of delay accelerates daily. Every month without AI capabilities means lost competitive advantage, missed revenue opportunities, and growing customer expectations you can’t meet. Development backlogs swell while your capacity to execute shrinks. The pressure from business leadership intensifies as competitors announce AI-powered features. 

You need an approach that delivers AI capabilities quickly without years-long development projects or massive system rewrites. 

Staff Augmentation

Trained AI Experts Who Deliver Outcomes, Not Just Hours

Immediate Capacity + AI Expertise = Faster Innovation

Traditional staff augmentation sends bodies. We deliver outcomes. Our Premium Staff Augmentation model addresses both your immediate capacity crisis and your long-term AI development needs by providing IBM i professionals already trained in AI development methodologies, Profound AI capabilities, and custom AI integration patterns. 

The Challenge: Talent Shortages Meet AI Urgency

You can’t wait 6-12 months to hire and onboard developers who understand both IBM i systems and modern AI technologies. You can’t afford months of ramp-up time while contractors learn your business rules, technical architecture, and AI development frameworks. And you can’t risk AI projects failing because developers lack experience integrating intelligent capabilities into business-critical systems. 

Business leaders need AI features this quarter. IT Directors need developers who can start contributing immediately. Both need confidence that AI integration won’t compromise business continuity or system reliability. 

How Premium Staff Augmentation Solves Both Needs

Unlike commodity staffing services that provide generic developers, our Staff Augmentation delivers professionals who already understand: 

IBM i architecture and application integration patterns – No learning curve on your core systems 

AI development and deployment methodologies – Proven experience building custom AI agents, and implementing intelligent automation 

Profound AI and custom development tools – Trained in the no-code Profound AI development environment and custom AI solutions that accelerate delivery 5-10x 

Your industry’s requirements – Experience with enterprise systems and business-critical reliability standards 

This combination eliminates the delays that plague typical staff augmentation: no 3-month ramp-up period, no trial-and-error learning your systems, no gaps between what business needs and what contractors can deliver. 

The Formula

Profound AI Platform + Custom Development Expertise + Trained Professionals

Our Premium Staff Augmentation model uniquely combines three elements that traditional staffing can't match

Profound AI

Our professionals leverage the no-code AI development platform that enables rapid creation of intelligent assistants, connects to leading AI models (OpenAI, Google, Azure), and integrates with existing business systems, compressing development timelines from months to days. This integration standard transforms your IBM i applications into native AI engines that speak the same language as ChatGPT, Claude, and the world’s leading AI platforms. 

Custom AI Development Expertise

Deep knowledge of custom AI agent development, enterprise integration, and advanced analyticseliminating the trial-and-error that wastes time and budget

Agentic Coding Enablement

Experience building AI solutions that position your applications for autonomous development post-integration, where AI agents independently tackle feature requests, refactoring, and enhancements while comprehensive testing frameworks validate every change. Unlike IDE-based assistants that offer only 20-25% productivity improvements, our agentic-native approach enables 5-10x productivity gains through AI agents that execute complete development cycles autonomously.

This combination delivers both immediate capacity relief AND accelerated AI deployment outcomes. You get professionals who can start contributing on day one while leveraging technology and methodologies that make them 5-10x more productive than traditional developers.
