Profound.js is a low-code, JavaScript/Node.js solution that runs on all platforms (including IBM i) and is built specifically for developers. It is the first true, low-code platform to run natively on IBM i, with full RPG/DB2 integration, helping companies on IBM i move into the future, without losing years of IT investment. Increase the speed of application development by 10x today.

Reduce the time it takes to develop custom business applications

Ensure you find the resources needed to replace the wave of retiring RPG developers

Easily jump between low-code plugins and hand-coding, without the need to export code out of one programming paradigm into another

Enable the rapid rewriting of legacy and desktop applications so they can run on any browser, any sized device and with a fully responsive design

Decrease your never-ending backlog of IT projects

Quickly find new development talent to replace retiring RPG developers

Directly interfaces with systems of record on IBM i/DB2, by directly calling your existing programs and services programs

The application development landscape is changing rapidly.

By implementing the following two practical strategies, you now have a unique opportunity to improve the effectiveness of your application development by as much as 10x:

Effective developers do not code everything from scratch. Their goal is to deliver functionality and value, not produce more code.

In this fast-paced world, you can’t afford to keep “reinventing the wheel” with every project. You should instead aim to implement reusable components, packages, plugins, widgets, and tools where possible.

In fact, so many types of business applications can now be built with little to no code.

Gartner predicts low-code application development will encompass more than half of all application development by 2024.

Are you still writing code for ALL your custom requirements?

To be competitive, you should only write code for your critical and most complex requirements, while other custom development can be enabled with tools and configured with plugins.

This allows you to be more agile, get to market faster, deliver more functionality, and ultimately serve your customers and employees more effectively.
