Over half of the Fortune 500 companies are still actively using the Power I Platform for their businesses. If the system is robust enough to support them then there’s no reason it won’t be able to support yours. They have chosen this platform and it is still one of the most robust, reliable and secure system on the planet.
It might feel like finding the resources and talent to use this platform is impossible and there’s little new talent coming through that can specialise in this area. However there are a number of experience companies out there still working within this industry providing specialist support like ourselves.
A lot pf people think the platform only supports RPG & Cobol, however this isn’t the case. In addition to those languages programs can be written in Java, PHP, C, C++, Python, Perl, REXX, Pascal, Smalltalk, SQL, Basic, Fortran, Ruby, Javascript and PL/1. You can also run a number of platforms on it – Linux, AIX and Windows environments can all be running on it at the same time.
The following technologies can also be run on the platform – a native HTTP server, Apache, Tomcat and others, meaning it’s a server for web pages and web development. CSS, HTML and Javascript can be used for web pages too.
Why spend money to move away from something to do the same job? Instead you can spend that budget on increasing your market share.
