Excel Program Inventions (EPI) specializes in developing programmer productivity software for the IBM i platform. Founded in 1989, EPI focuses on creating tools that streamline and enhance the efficiency of software development and maintenance for IBM i systems, including the AS/400 and iSeries. Their flagship product, TARGET/400, is an award-winning expert system designed to convert and restructure legacy IBM S/36 RPG II and OCL applications into native-mode applications for the IBM i environment. This tool simplifies the migration process by offering comprehensive features like defining and implementing the DB2/400 database, as well as converting S/36 menus, screen formats, DFUs, and data. EPI’s software cuts time and costs by streamlining updates to IBM i business applications. It includes tools to slash database maintenance by 80%, convert DDS to SQL, and replace SEU for RPG ILE coding. With IDA for automation and free trials, EPI boosts modernization and productivity.
