There's the IBM i conversation that happens in IT, and the one that happens in the boardroom.

They're not always the same conversation.

In IT: the system is stable. It runs the business. It has for decades.

In the boardroom: Are we still on that? What's the modernization roadmap? What happens when the people who built it retire?

Our free IBM i System Health Quiz gives you a clear read across both in about 3 minutes.

If the boardroom conversation is coming, it helps to walk in with the data already in hand.

Is Your IBM i System at Risk? This 10-question diagnostic evaluates the real health of your IBM i system across the dimensions that matter most to operations, IT, and leadership alike, from how dependent your team still is on green-screen interfaces, to how quickly you’d recover if your most exper...

IBM i isn't the problem, but the interface built on top of it might be.

Green screens, manual order entry, and static reporting all prevent your IBM i system from running as well as it should.

Modernization on IBM i means updating what people see and interact with while the core functionality stays intact.

Our free 10-question IBM i System Health Quiz is a good place to start if you're not sure where your environment stands or what modernization would actually require.

If you work with BPCS or Infor LX, chances are you've heard a few things about managed services that gave you pause.

Maybe it was about losing control of your environment, or whether it even makes sense for a team like yours.

In this video, we break down the three misconceptions that come up most often, and share what three decades of application-layer experience has actually taught us.

Most companies don't have an IBM i strategy. They have an IBM i hope.

One person who knows everything. No documentation. No upgrade timeline.

An IBM i strategy looks different. Documented RPG/CL and EDI environment. A defined upgrade path. An application-layer partner with contractual audit rights and SLAs tied to ERP performance, not just uptime.

The difference isn't budget. It's a decision made before the departure, not after.

If your environment looks more like the left column than the right, that's exactly what VIRTUTEM's complimentary ERP Environment Assessment is designed to address.

What does your IBM i environment look like today?

ERP transitions rarely go to plan. Timelines extend, internal resources get pulled in multiple directions, and the current system, the one keeping your production running, orders shipping, and data clean, still has to function through all of it.

That is where VIRTUTEM steps in.

VIRTUTEM Managed Services keeps your Infor LX and BPCS environment fully operational during a transition. Our team provides system administration, application support, and performance optimization for your current environment while your organization focuses on the move.

We address compatibility with IBM i operating systems, multi-facility planning, global supply chain processes, and any system-specific complexity that arises, so nothing falls through the gap.

We also provide comprehensive ERP implementation services across platforms. From system selection and planning through deployment, integration, and training, VIRTUTEM can support both sides of a transition.

One partner for where you are and where you are going. https://bit.ly/425n7if

There's a conversation we have often with Infor LX shops.

They're not in crisis. The system is running. But the team that knows it best is shrinking, with retirements, departures, and roles that never got backfilled. And somewhere in the back of every IT director's mind is the question: what happens when the last person who really knows this environment leaves?

That's exactly where VIRTUTEM Managed Services comes in. Not as a last resort, as a proactive partnership. We embed into your operation, learn your environment, and keep it running at peak performance. Monitoring, maintenance, BMR and PTF deployment, performance tuning, IBM i compatibility, and global supply chain processes. Whatever your Infor LX environment needs, at whatever release you're on, including limited and off-support versions.

If that conversation sounds familiar, it's worth a call.

In the fast-paced manufacturing world, operational efficiency and system reliability are key to success. VIRTUTEM’s Infor LX Managed Services provides tailored support to help you maximize the value of your ERP system by addressing challenges such as system transitions, workforce gaps, and post-ac...

Every enterprise software platform has a lifecycle. As BPCS versions mature beyond their vendor support window, organizations face real decisions: how to maintain stability, manage risk, and keep operations running without the safety net of formal patches and updates.

VIRTUTEM's consultants have been supporting Infor BPCS environments for 30+ years. Whatever version you're on, we help you extend the life of your investment — with proactive application health checks, functional troubleshooting, business process optimization, and integration support across the full Infor tech stack.

The vendor support window closes. VIRTUTEM does not. https://bit.ly/425n7if
