PKS as a partner for IT service providers in order to be visible in the market in a sustainable and differentiating way.

Use the opportunities of the legacy modernisation wave, successfully acquire and implement major projects - NOW!

As an IT service provider or consultancy firm, you are familiar with modern technology trends such as the cloud, AI, open source and microservices. However, the complexity and value of existing business logic in older programming languages such as COBOL, PL/I, RPG or Natural are often underestimated. Documentation and experts are not available. As a result, large modernisation tenders are difficult to win and the implementation of such projects becomes a considerable risk for the service providers.
