Case Study: U.S.-Based Restaurant Chain modernizes IBM i operations without downtime with Rocket Software

U.S.-Based Restaurant Chain Delivering a home-away-from-home experience with help from Rocket

The U.S.-Based Restaurant Company needed a better way to modernize its IBM i back-end and manage UI changes as younger staff struggled with green-screen interfaces. After previous web simplification work with PHP and Zend Studio, the company still lacked change and release management for its front-end and back-end development, creating challenges for its developers and risking downtime.

Rocket Software implemented the Rocket Aldon suite, including Lifecycle Manager for IBM i and Enterprise, Deployment Manager for i and Enterprise, and Web Portal for i and Enterprise, to connect RPG back-end development with the front end. This gave the team a way to release code without downtime, improve SOX compliance by separating development from operations, and support growth across 600+ locations in 40+ states.
