IBM ServerProven™ technology stack

IBM Power with iBOLT

 

Magic Software’s technology stack is IBM ServerProven™ and runs natively on your IBM i, letting you:

  • Access a rich tool set with a full graphical, wizard-based interface that lets you configure services and/or develop business applications rather than code them. 
  • Increase development productivity, completing projects in a matter of weeks instead of months, with no need for Java or any other complex requirements. 
  • Implement a service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure, including composite applications and application integration. 
  • Employ easy-to-use tools to call logic (Cobol/RPG/CL), retrieve and manipulate data (DB2/400), deal with system objects (spool files, data queues), and leverage your investment in WebSphere, Domino, and more.

 

iBOLT is used with IBM i customers worldwide, among them adidas Canada. For more, see our IBM i case studies.
