Australian Client Case Study
From RPG SOAP Services to a Cloud-Ready REST API Platform
A Melbourne-based enterprise relied on IBM i, RPG and Db2 for critical ordering, customer pricing, inventory and distribution processes. 9byte designed and delivered a portable REST API layer that preserved Db2 as the source of truth, continued to use existing RPG programs where appropriate, and allowed modern services to operate alongside the existing SOAP integrations during transition.
The result was a cloud-ready integration platform that retained the client's proven IBM i investment and operational performance while creating a flexible foundation for eCommerce and future digital services.

Positioning
Modernisation Does Not Always Mean Migration
Many IBM i platforms continue to run critical ERP, finance, inventory, manufacturing and order-management operations. The challenge is often not the reliability of the core platform, but connecting it to modern business requirements. 9byte helps organisations decide what should be maintained, integrated, extended, selectively modernised or migrated.
Your IBM i platform may not need to be replaced. It may need better integration, stronger support and a clear roadmap for the future.
