Discover how Varsity can level-up your IBM i shipping without deplatforming
Released over 35 years ago, the AS/400 (now known as IBM i) entered the market as a groundbreaking system for the digital work environment. For decades, its powerful and scalable structure has propelled some of the biggest brands and complex supply chains toward success. Backed by proven security, stability, and the ability to process large volumes of data with minimal support, the IBM i remains a foundational platform for many logistics and operations teams today.
While the shipping landscape has continued to evolve with more carriers, newer technologies, and rising customer expectations, current users are reluctant to replace the highly compatible and cost-effective solution they’ve grown to love.
So how can shippers bring the critical modern capabilities needed to thrive in today’s supply chain to the system that’s stood the test of time? The answer isn’t replacing your IBM i platform. Transformation can be achieved by enhancing your existing environment through integration, without disrupting what already works.
