05 IBM Power Rockstars, this one’s a must-listen! On this episode of The Incredible i Show, we sit down with Ted Macksam, an IT leader who’s pushing the boundaries of modernization on IBM i.
Imagine running your entire IBM i ERP without traditional green screens, without terminal sessions, and without legacy roadblocks—just open-source technology and browser-based access. That’s the reality at Hatco, and Ted is here to share exactly how they did it.
We’ll explore:
- Their journey from legacy ERP to 100% open-source, web-driven IBM i
- How their team executes seamless DR switchovers in under 30 minutes
- The transformation of an RPG programmer into a full-stack open-source developer
- The importance of succession planning and what the future holds for IBM i IT teams
