PARSEC Resources for IBM i (AS/400 · iSeries)

IBM i — the platform generations of businesses still know as the AS/400 or iSeries — quietly runs core operations for thousands of organizations with legendary reliability. But the people who know it deeply are retiring, and IBM i skills are increasingly hard to find. PARSEC delivers that expertise: full support, operations, system administration, and application services for your IBM i environment.

Whether you want fully managed iSeries-as-a-Service hosting in a private cloud or remote support that keeps your hardware in place, PARSEC has you covered — US-based, direct-to-expert, 24/7. And because we know our stuff across most major platforms, you can count on us for much more.

Why PARSEC for IBM i

AS/400 to IBM i — expertise that's getting hard to find, direct-to-expert since 1986.

PARSEC keeps IBM i (AS/400 / iSeries) environments running — managed or remote, US-based, 24/7 — with skills that are walking out the door elsewhere.

24/7

The Whole Platform History

AS/400, iSeries, i5/OS, OS/400, current IBM i on Power — PARSEC supports it all. Whatever generation you’re running, our engineers know the platform and the RPG and COBOL applications that run on it.

Managed or Remote

Run IBM i fully managed as iSeries-as-a-Service in a PARSEC private cloud, or keep your hardware in place and let our team support it remotely. Flexible contracts and SLAs built around your needs, not ours.

Workforce Transition

Application Services Too

PARSEC’s application programmers maintain and modernize the software that runs your business on IBM i — RPG, COBOL, CL — from day-to-day support through modernization.

IBM i Services

Six services, all delivered by engineers who know IBM i — not generalists reading from a runbook.
