What is AS400 Migration?
AS400 migration refers to the process of transitioning applications, data, and systems from the IBM AS400 (now IBM i) platform to newer technologies or cloud-based environments. This migration is often necessary as businesses look to modernize their IT infrastructure, reduce operational costs, and take advantage of more scalable and flexible solutions. The migration process can involve re-hosting legacy applications, re-platforming them to the cloud, or rewriting them using newer programming languages. Additionally, it may include moving data from the AS400’s integrated DB2 database to modern databases or integrating with contemporary enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Successful AS400 migration ensures that businesses retain the integrity of their legacy applications while also enabling better integration with modern technologies for improved performance and agility.
