Execute AS400 Retirement Secure Your Data
Maintain actionable enterprise records with AvenDATA.

From RPG and COBOL to CL: we empower you to execute a flawless legacy system retirement for IBM i AS400 architectures across all generations. TSX listed companies rely on this proven solution to permanently secure vital enterprise records from core banking to manufacturing workflows, aggressively slashing maintenance costs and guaranteeing strict CRA regulatory compliance.

The Challenge

Today, global enterprises confront a critical bottleneck: obsolete AS400 architectures bleed significant capital despite offering zero operational value. The root cause? You must maintain these fragile environments strictly to guarantee permanent CRA regulatory compliance. This forces you to navigate severe systemic liabilities:
  • Decaying hardware demanding aggressively escalating maintenance costs
  • Punishing service contracts that you must fund despite total system obsolescence
  • Exorbitant licensing fees for dead software components you no longer actively utilize
  • Trapped internal IT resources prevented from driving strategic IT modernization
  • Massive enterprise security vulnerabilities stemming from completely unsupported legacy versions
  • Extreme operational complexity required to manually manage historical enterprise data
The Definitive Outcome: TSX listed companies hemorrhage massive capital year after year to support dead architectures that deliver zero strategic ROI, actively multiplying litigation risks instead of aggressively slashing maintenance costs.
