One of the biggest challenges in technology today isn't building new applications. It's understanding, maintaining, and modernizing the systems that organizations have relied on for years. For teams working on IBM i environments, that often means dealing with large RPG codebases, limited documentation, and business-critical processes that cannot afford disruption.
That's why this feedback from Jasmine K., VP of Technology at M.R. Williams, stood out to me.
"M.R. Williams is advancing its IBM i modernization strategy with new mobile solutions and accounting system improvements, while leveraging IBM Bob to quickly interpret older RPG code, automate documentation, and streamline development workflows."
What I find particularly interesting is that Bob is being used across multiple stages of the modernization journey. Before teams can modernize a system, they first need to understand it. Legacy RPG applications often contain years of business rules and operational knowledge that can be difficult to uncover. By helping developers interpret older code, generate documentation, and reduce manual investigation, Bob can accelerate one of the most challenging parts of modernization.
The value extends beyond understanding legacy systems. Streamlining development workflows allows teams to spend more time delivering improvements and less time deciphering existing implementations. For organizations balancing innovation with ongoing operational requirements, that can make a meaningful difference.
As AI adoption grows, some of the most impactful use cases may come from helping organizations unlock the value hidden inside existing systems rather than starting from scratch.
