001 IBM i-modernization: One Byte at a Time with Simon Hutchinson

The Incredible i Show

001 Welcome to season 5 on The incredible i Show! On this episode, I welcome back to the mic Simon Hutchinson, author of RPGPGM.com. Simon stops by to dive deep into the topic of modernization.
Simon says that the modernization of the IBM i is crucial because it allows companies to stay competitive in today's demanding business environment! Give it a try by refactoring RPG code to take advantage of newer languages and technologies, integrating IBM i with other systems, and incorporating modern user interfaces. Keep it simple!
Simon Hutchinson is the owner and author of RPGPGM.com, speaker, SEM on all things RPG, SQL, Db2 of i, an IBM i community advocate, and a three-time IBM Champion.
