  • Meridian and Varsity to Go After IBM i Shops Together

    March 24, 2009 Alex Woodie

    Meridian IT, an IBM reseller and IT consultancy based in Deerfield, Illinois, has entered into a partnership with Varsity Logistics, the provider of System i shipping software from Northern California. Together, the two companies plan to provide supply chain solutions to System i shops around the country.

    Meridian IT is a 30-year-old company that sells a range of IBM products, including i OS, AIX, xSeries servers, and storage, and provides IT consulting work for its customers. The company is one of the holdings of conglomerate Meridian Group International, and employs 500 people in 33 offices scattered across the U.S., the U.K., Germany, and Australia.

    As part of the marketing partnership with Varsity, Meridian IT plans to help address the logistics pains of System i shops by providing System i hardware leasing and consulting expertise for connecting back-end ERP systems to the Varsity shipping product.

    In short, the duo looks to help any System i shop looking to address its logistics processes, according to Tim Seeley, who’s in charge of ISV relationships and sales at Meridian IT.

    “This partnership between Varsity Logistics and Meridian IT provides a complete solution with software products and hardware infrastructure capabilities for manufacturing, wholesale distribution, and retail business customers looking to better manage their shipping and transportation requirements,” Seeley says in a press release.

    Embrace VS Code for IBM i Development

    The IBM i development landscape is evolving with modern tools that enhance efficiency and collaboration. Ready to make the move to VS Code for IBM i?

    Join us for this webinar where we’ll showcase how VS Code can serve as a powerful editor for native IBM i code and explore the essential extensions that make it possible.

    In this session, you’ll discover:

    • How ARCAD’s integration with VS Code provides deep metadata insights, allowing developers to assess the impact of their changes upfront.
    • The role of Git in enabling seamless collaboration between developers using tools like SEU, RDi, and VS Code.
    • Powerful extensions for code quality, security, impact analysis, smart build, and automated RPG conversion to Free Form.
    • How non-IBM i developers can now contribute to IBM i projects without prior knowledge of its specifics, while ensuring full control over their changes.

    The future of IBM i development is here. Let ARCAD be your guide!
