DDC FPO, a globally recognized provider of business process outsourcing and technology solutions for the transportation and logistics industries, has unveiled a new IT Outsourcing solution designed to address the growing demand for RPG Programming services on AS400 systems, now referred to as IBM iSeries systems.
Critical for commercial and enterprise applications, RPG programming skills play a pivotal role for companies utilizing iSeries systems. Despite widespread application usage across various industries, the availability of skilled RPG programming resources is on the decline.
In response to the challenges presented by the current IT talent market, DDC FPO is committed to bridging the RPG programmer gap for organizations relying on IBM i (AS400) systems.
DDC FPO’s specialized RPG Programming service equips clients with the necessary expertise and resources to maintain their iSeries (AS400) systems without the complications of in-house recruitment and retention.
Chad Crotty, Senior Director of Sales at DDC FPO, highlights the difficulty companies face in finding candidates within a limited, aging, and expensive pool of RPG programmer resources. “We aim to close that skill gap with certified, trained RPG programming resources,” says Crotty.
The specialized RPG Programming service offered by DDC FPO ensures that clients can efficiently and cost-effectively meet their organization’s IT requirements, eliminating concerns about the future talent pool. Crotty emphasizes that outsourcing iSeries RPG programming to DDC FPO is a strategic solution in an environment where maintaining an in-house RPG team is both costly and challenging.
The iSeries ecosystem, encompassing applications such as accounts receivable, dispatching, billing entry, freight rating, fleet maintenance, finance, and invoicing, poses unique challenges. DDC FPO recognizes the need for extensive training and experience to provide the necessary support for RPG applications.
