Solpac Launches i_RODOR_i to Tackle Key IBM i Challenges with AI Solutions

Solpac Introduces i_RODOR_i: The Future of IBM i Management

In a strategic move to revolutionize IBM i management, Solpac, based in Minato, Tokyo, has launched a cutting-edge service called i_RODOR_i. This service seeks to directly address the three main challenges that organizations operating under IBM i currently face: a deficiency of technical personnel and skill inheritance, the risk of system obsolescence and individual dependency, and the urgent need for modernization. By leveraging advancements in AI, managed services, and cloud technologies, i_RODOR_i represents a new operational model for IBM i.

Addressing the Critical Challenges of IBM i

Organizations reliant on IBM i systems are encountering significant operational risks due to several pressing issues:
1. Infrastructure Limitations: Outdated hardware and infrastructure present obstacles to stable operation and increase costs related to business continuity and disaster recovery efforts.

2. Operational Cost and Structure Issues: As workloads increase, the existing systems often become black boxes, impeding improvement efforts. This situation complicates the maintenance of 24/7 operations, pushing operational limits to the brink.

3. Talent and Knowledge Transfer Crisis: The aging workforce in the realm of IBM i technology poses a substantial threat, coupled with difficulties in training younger professionals. The absence of operational manuals and existing skill gaps further accelerate the depletion of in-house IBM i knowledge.

In response to these challenges, Solpac aims to deliver a promising future for IBM i operations through the unique capabilities of IBM Bob, an AI-driven enterprise support partner developed by IBM.

3. IBM i Application Operations and Maintenance Services (@M-ASP): Utilizing AI such as IBM Bob, this service streamlines the maintenance and operation of applications while also offering urgent issue resolution and monitoring. This ensures long-term protection of client application assets.
4. IBM i Concierge Service Center: A dedicated expert team offers support for technical inquiries, operational improvement consultations, and daily operation assistance. This hands-on support drastically diminishes the psychological burden on staff.
5. RPG Training Services: Focusing on systematic skill development for both junior and mid-level IBM i technicians, this program addresses technical knowledge transfer bottlenecks.
