Profound Logic Software

A bank was waiting 4 to 8 weeks every time it needed a service change. Paying premium rates to its core banking vendor for the privilege. Watching competitors ship new products while it sat in a queue.

After implementing Profound API: 8 weeks to 45 minutes. 2,000 transactions per second. Revenue up 23%. Full independence from the vendor.

The IBM i infrastructure was capable of all of it the entire time. The only thing missing was a way to expose what was inside it.

That's the API story most IBM i organizations haven't gotten to yet. Decades of refined business logic sitting behind green screens and batch processes, inaccessible to the cloud services, AI platforms, and partner systems the rest of the business is trying to connect.

Profound API turns Db2 data, RPG programs, and ILE procedures into RESTful APIs, without months of custom development. Visual, low-code, and live in hours.

Your IBM i isn't the bottleneck. Inaccessibility is. See how Profound API works: https://hubs.la/Q04kX1d20

One of the things you hear from IBM i leadership teams more than almost anything else: "we can't afford to disrupt our 24/7 operations, but we also can't afford to fall behind."

That tension is real. And for a long time, there wasn't a clean answer to it.

A global logistics leader, one of the largest transportation networks in the world, faced exactly that situation. Decades of refined routing algorithms and business logic running on IBM i. Mission-critical systems that processed millions of transactions without incident. And an aging technology stack that was becoming a barrier to the new capabilities the business needed.

What they didn't want was a rip-and-replace project. What they needed was a way to futurize without the operational risk that comes with it.

Profound AppDev's coexistence model gave them that.

Legacy and futurized systems running in parallel. Transformation at the program level, not the platform level. Green screens becoming modern web interfaces.. New capabilities built while the RPG underneath kept running. Every layer unified under a single web-based navigation layer.

The result?
💥 ZERO operational disruption.
💥 A development team empowered with low-code capabilities, which they adopted quickly.
💥 A foundation for AI and IoT integration that didn't exist before.

40% reduction in new employee training time.
35% faster delivery of new features.
50% drop in defect rates.
Deploys that went from weeks to days.

These are outcomes from a real manufacturing futurization engagement. A company with decades of RPG business logic, a shrinking developer pool, and users stuck on green screens.
They didn't rip and replace. They futurized.

Automated code conversion from RPG and DDS to JavaScript. Modern web interfaces built on top of existing business logic. A phased rollout where both systems ran simultaneously. The multi-million-dollar full system replacement they were dreading never happened.

The codebase is now platform-agnostic. They can move to cloud, Linux, or Windows when the business calls for it, without another major conversion. That path is already built.
