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
