French Software Publisher
About
Since its creation in 2015, AUMERIAL has specialized in the design, publishing and distribution of computer software.
Guided by Laurent Rouillot, the company's founder and an IBM i - AS/400 expert since the 1980s, and later joined by Rémi Rouillot, the company's CTO, AUMERIAL today designs the best IBM i / .NET communication tools, adapted to the specific needs of our customers and the rapid evolution of the market.
With an installed base of over 20,000 IBM machines in France, and almost 500,000 worldwide, we are positioned at the heart of a vast ecosystem where the speed of technological change means that even the most robust and secure systems must continually adapt to new market requirements, such as the cloud, artificial intelligence and microservices.
With this in mind, we have developed NTi, our data access solution for IBM i from .NET. The fruit of six years of research and development, NTi is the result of a rigorous analysis of the shortcomings of existing connectors. It represents our vision of a complete toolbox, offering direct access to the entire IBM i, while maximizing the efficiency and sustainability of existing infrastructures.
An approach and market introduction now recognized and approved by IBM, our trusted partner.
I decided to develop the tool needed to make IBM i and .NET work together, because the integrated aspect of the latter fits perfectly with the IBM i mindset.
The specification was the result of examining the weak points of all existing modernization solutions. For technical reasons, our first product, LINK2i, was dependent on Windows. With the arrival of NET 6, we were able to remove this dependency and offer very low-level access regardless of the environment.
It certainly deserved a new name: NTi.
It's worth noting that this latest round was carried out by Rémi, our 26-year-old CTO. Proof that the IBM i is not a machine for old-timers.

And tomorrow ?
The IBM i - At the beginning
The IBM i, formerly known as the AS/400 and iSeries, has long been the cornerstone of enterprise systems, renowned for its reliability and security.
However, before recent technological advances, it was often perceived as a closed and rigid system, difficult to integrate with modern technologies.
Difficulties that could be encountered included rather complex data management, user interface constraints, and a certain rigidity that didn't allow ideal adaptation to changing and evolving market requirements. Also, users sometimes found it difficult to integrate the IBM i with new platforms and programming languages, thus limiting the full potential offered by this formidable machine.
The IBM i - The Era of Modernization
Today, IBM i has evolved into a more open and versatile system. Thanks to continuous updates and the support of a dynamic community, it now offers better integration with web and cloud technologies, greater ease of use, and increased flexibility.
These developments, supported by an active and dynamic community, now enable better integration with web and cloud technologies, while maintaining a high level of security. IBM i thus remains a solid and essential pillar for businesses, combining legendary security with modernized capabilities.
The combination of traditional reliability and extreme resilience makes it ideal for a wide range of enterprise applications, from ERP systems to web solutions. So today, it's no longer a question of abandoning what's been tried and tested, but rather of keeping what works, avoiding the risks and costs associated with a complete system replacement.
The IBM i & NTi - In tune with the times
Enrich the IBM i ecosystem, and make it easily accessible to everyone? This is now possible thanks to our NTi data access provider, who is opening up the platform to a panoply of modern, and above all, multiplatform development tools. A small revolution in terms of accessibility and interoperability.
By fully integrating with .NET, it overcomes traditional architecture limitations, facilitating the execution of .NET / IBM i workloads in modern, diversified environments, beyond traditional VMs, guaranteeing significant savings and a marked improvement in TCO.
Access to IBM i data and programs is simple with NTi. It's now possible for anyone to get to grips with this platform without any special skills. This means that the development of new business applications, websites, AI-embedded applications and much more is within everyone's reach in record time.
