Lunch and Learn: Turn 2020 into an opportunity to innovate and grow your business

Lunch and Learn: Turn 2020 into an opportunity to innovate and grow your business

Discover how you can strategically innovate and grow your business with Fresche Solutions.

Our partners Fresche Solutions have joined forces with IBM on a ‘lunch and learn’ webinar series for ISVs operating on the iBM i.

While IBM’s Power Systems IBM i is proven and stable, any ISV (independent software vendor) offering applications developed on the platform can face challenges.

  • Where do you find RPG, Cobol or CA/2E Synon resources?
  • What is the best way to modernise applications?
  • How should you roll out new versions to clients?

The pandemic has disrupted many global market conditions, driving the need for real-time access to applications, intuitive user experience (UX) and integrated systems.

ISVs have the ability to turn this into an opportunity – to keep up with their industry’s changing needs, expand into new markets and grow their revenue.

 

Lunch and Learn: Strategic ways to innovate and grow your business

That’s why Fresche Solutions and IBM are running a series of three 20-minute webinar sessions. Register and join us n the sessions next week, to learn how you can leverage your IBM i applications to bridge the skills gap, protect and grow your installed base, and give yourself a competitive advantage through innovation.
