I wrote RPG in 1989. Here's what that means when I walk into your server room today.
I wrote my first RPG program on an IBM System/38 in 1989.
Not as a hobby. As part of a team running real business logic for real operations.
Inventory. Order processing. Customer records.
The kind of code that, if it breaks on a Tuesday, someone has a bad Tuesday.
I'm not telling you this to impress you.
I'm telling you because there's a difference between someone who has read about these systems and someone who has sat in front of them - wondering why a field is six characters wide, and slowly realising there's a 1987 business rule baked into that decision.
We understand the architecture. We understand the logic.
What we're not going to do is walk in and claim we'll run your AS/400 for you.
That's your team's system. They know it. We respect that.
What we can do is help you understand what you actually have - and what a sensible path forward looks like.
The team behind Legacymigrations has run IT functions across Austrian banking and industry, and includes people who actually open the systems - not just draw diagrams of them.
Between us, we've probably seen most of what you're dealing with. Maybe not your exact version. But the same problems, the same anxieties, the same 'please don't let it break on a Friday' feeling.
If that sounds familiar - that's where we start.
