Struggling to Find IBM i Talent? You’re Not Alone.
The reality facing IT leaders today: Your critical IBM i systems are running strong, but finding skilled RPG and COBOL developers is getting harder every year.
The Modern Talent Crisis is Real
As an IT manager, you’re facing an impossible situation. Your IBM i systems power your core business operations reliably and securely – exactly as they should. But when it comes to maintaining, enhancing, or futurizing these systems, you’re hitting the same wall every organization faces:
The talent just isn’t there.
You Know These Challenges All Too Well:
Retiring Expertise
Your most experienced IBM i developers are nearing retirement, taking decades of institutional knowledge with them
Shrinking Talent Pool
Fewer developers are learning RPG and COBOL, making recruitment nearly impossible
Premium Costs
The few available IBM i professionals command premium salaries that strain IT budgets
Project Delays
Critical initiatives sit in backlog because you simply don't have the resources to execute
Knowledge Gaps
New hires lack the deep system understanding that only comes with years of experience
The Strategic Risk You Can't Ignore
This isn’t just a staffing problem – it’s a business continuity risk. When your IBM i systems need updates, fixes, or enhancements, delays can impact:
- Customer satisfaction when systems can’t evolve with business needs
- Operational efficiency when manual workarounds replace automated processes
- Competitive advantage when you can’t implement new capabilities fast enough
- Regulatory compliance when system updates are delayed
- Cost management when you’re paying premium rates for limited expertise
