Discover how you can strategically innovate and grow your business with Fresche Solutions.
Our partners Fresche Solutions have joined forces with IBM on a ‘lunch and learn’ webinar series for ISVs operating on the iBM i.
While IBM’s Power Systems IBM i is proven and stable, any ISV (independent software vendor) offering applications developed on the platform can face challenges.
- Where do you find RPG, Cobol or CA/2E Synon resources?
- What is the best way to modernise applications?
- How should you roll out new versions to clients?
The pandemic has disrupted many global market conditions, driving the need for real-time access to applications, intuitive user experience (UX) and integrated systems.
ISVs have the ability to turn this into an opportunity – to keep up with their industry’s changing needs, expand into new markets and grow their revenue.

That’s why Fresche Solutions and IBM are running a series of three 20-minute webinar sessions. Register and join us n the sessions next week, to learn how you can leverage your IBM i applications to bridge the skills gap, protect and grow your installed base, and give yourself a competitive advantage through innovation.
