BWI Success Story: moving to Git source control on IBM i

[Webinar] BWI Success Story: moving to Git source control on IBM i

Ever felt that moving from traditional IBM i development to DevOps with Git was too big a challenge?

BWI, one of the largest independent distributors of garden products in the U.S., has the experience to prove the contrary.

With a dedicated IBM i team nearing retirement age, it became urgent to upgrade IBM i development techniques and prepare for new developers coming on board.  With the right preparation, over a few short months, BWI was able to transition from a mono-LPAR environment and in-house change management to an automated end-to-end DevOps cycle using Git, Jira and ARCAD tools.

All traditional IBM i developers have adopted Git, appreciating the automation, change tracking and fully documented process.  Now that IBM i and Web teams “speak the same language”, software delivery is faster and more secure.

In our Webinar, Simone Culp, Sr. Software Engineer and Data Analyst at BWI will present their project and the keys to successful Git adoption on IBM i, including:

Integrated, all-in-one DevOps process for IBM i
Simplified feature branching with Git
Secure process and transfer between environments
Traceability - linkage between Jira helpdesk request and code changes
Team collaboration – bridging the silos between IBM i and Web development

Join the BWI team and ARCAD Software to learn key tips and techniques for your successful move to Git on IBM i.

Risk-Free Migration From Synon CA 2E to Fully Modern Application

[Webinar] Risk-Free Migration From Synon CA 2E to Fully Modern Application

Converting from Synon CA 2E to a modern language? There are many good reasons to take this step. As well as a critical shortage of Synon skills, applications developed in the 4GL environment are unable to access many key technology advances in the IBM i o/s; and though a leader in its day, the Synon CASE tool is incompatible with modern DevOps and concurrent development.

Join Tim Rowe, Philippe Magne, Ray Bernardi and Brian May to learn why a conversion to Freeform RPG is a risk-free and high-performance option that leverages the architecture of the original Synon application – retaining all the reliability and security advantages of the host platform.

In our Webinar, we will share a secure, automated migration path for business applications developed in Synon CA 2E:

100% automated conversion to modern Freeform RPG and DDL (SQL)
Guaranteed conversion accuracy with test automation process
Modern full DevOps framework for delivery
Possible modernization of the user interface during the project
Risk free, fixed price Modernization as a Service (MaaS)

Leverage the competitive advantage within your Synon application.
