Why ARCAD on IBM i ?
How to future-proof your IBM i applications
IBM i in an open world
Thanks to its low total cost of ownership and proven reliability, IBM i has remained a strategic platform for decades. However, software development on IBM i remains relatively siloed, while specialized skills are becoming increasingly scarce.
Are you running on IBM i? Modernize your applications and unify your development tools across all your technologies, including IBM i. Adopt industry standards, tap into new developer communities, and secure the future of your mission-critical applications.
Open strategy to DevOps tools
Proprietary, platform-specific tools can no longer keep up. IBM i is moving toward industry standards and open source.
Git, Jenkins, Jira… these enterprise tools are becoming the norm, but they require specific technology to manage its many language and database variants, such as RPG and DB2.
ARCAD provides that technology layer. Integrate its modules into your existing toolchain to achieve end-to-end DevSecOps automation across all your platforms, including IBM i.
ARCAD for DevOps: a complete DevOps platform for IBM i
Whatever version control system you use, ARCAD for DevOps helps you deliver modern IBM i applications faster. With automation and continuous feedback, you can reduce costs and risks while delivering more value.
Whatever version control system you use, ARCAD for DevOps helps you deliver modern IBM i applications faster. Automation and continuous feedback mean lower costs, reduced risk, and greater business value.

ARCAD for IBM i Modernization: Leverage the value of your IBM i application assets
Unmatched reliability and tailored functionality: your in-house IBM i applications are a real business asset and a source of competitive advantage.
Modernize them step by step, from source code to databases:
- Convert your RPG source code or Synon 4GL to the modern Free Format syntax
- Convert your DDS to DDL (SQL) for a true relational database on IBM i
- Develop Webservices over key areas of code
- Expand the size of fields and working fields
DevOps and Modernization on IBM i
No one size fits all. Each IBM i customer starts their modernization journey from a different place, with their own specific requirements and constraints. ARCAD solutions for IBM i Modernization and DevOps are integrated and modular, so customers can work at their own pace, adding modules when they are needed with no risk of destabilizing the system.
