No Skills? No Problem.
Many companies have difficulty finding staff with IBM i and HP-UX skills to maintain and enhance their systems. In some cases, retiring resources take with them all technical knowledge of business-critical applications and leave the company with no one trained to take care of the system. In other instances, small teams with large workloads must postpone IT projects or extend deadlines.
That’s why our flexible portfolio of services lets you hire our IBM i and HP-UX experts to help with anything you need: maintenance, new development or modernization. Our experts can work as part of your team, or you can choose to let us manage the whole project. We’ll help with as much or as little as you need – we’ve got your back in every situation.
