🦁 Evolve, Don’t Extinct: How Profound AppEvo and AI Future-Proof IBM i Systems
In the fast-moving digital jungle, standing still is the quickest way to become prey. Yet many organisations still rely on trusted IBM i systems—built strong, loyal, and dependable, like the elephant of enterprise IT. These systems have carried business-critical processes for decades, but how do you help such a wise, seasoned creature adapt to a world of cloud, APIs, and artificial intelligence?
Logicmates answer is simple: evolution, not extinction.
Our two-part solution—Profound AppEvo and Profound AI—creates a natural pathway from legacy reliability to modern intelligence. No ripping, no replacing. Just a smart, seamless evolution.
🦋 From Legacy to Leading Edge with Profound AppEvo
Think of AppEvo as the metamorphosis engine. It transforms legacy RPG or COBOL applications into modern, flexible languages such as Node.js, Python, or JavaScript—while preserving the business DNA that’s kept your systems running smoothly for years.
Instead of a risky “big bang” migration, AppEvo lets you modernise one wing at a time. Your IBM i environment continues to run as normal while you gradually transition towards a modern, cloud-ready ecosystem that integrates with today’s databases and web technologies.
No drama, no downtime—just steady, confident evolution.
🦉 Profound AI: Intelligence with Insight
If AppEvo is evolution, Profound AI is wisdom.
This intelligent layer connects directly to IBM i systems—even those still in their legacy state—and gives you the power to embed AI into your daily operations. Using low-code and no-code tools, you can build AI agents that understand natural language, provide predictive analytics, and deliver instant insights from live IBM i data.
Profound AI is also multilingual in the world of large language models, supporting platforms like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and open-source LLMs—all connected through a flexible, vendor-neutral framework.
It’s like giving your IBM i a new set of eyes and ears—ones that see patterns, anticipate needs, and speak your business language fluently.
