What 15+ Years of Working with the AS400 System Has Taught Us
AS400 systems don’t fail loudly. They fail quietly, over time, through manual workarounds, knowledge gaps, and growing fear of change.
After 15+ years of working with organizations that run mission-critical operations on AS400, we’ve seen the same patterns repeat across industries.
