Koltiv has worked inside IBM environments for five decades, long enough to know what's worth keeping and what isn't. Wherever your systems sit today, our certified team already knows how to work in them.
What This Partnership Is
Koltiv + IBM
Running IBM technology well takes more than a manual. It takes people who have watched the platform change and know why certain choices were made along the way. Koltiv opened its doors in 1975 as an IBM shop, supporting the midrange machines that came before Power and IBM i. Today, that same team supports Power, PowerVS, Storage, and IBM Bob, IBM's newest tool for modernizing the code many of these systems still run on
Our IBM Services
Support Across Your Whole IBM Environment
Whatever capacity you need, our IBM team can step in: implementation, ongoing management, or advice along the way.
IBM Power Systems
Certified support for the Power servers running your operations, including OS upgrades, patch management, modernization, and disaster recovery planning.
Managed IBM Power
Continuous coverage with Managed IBM Power adds ongoing monitoring, patching, and support for your Power environment.
IBM PowerVS
For clients ready to move Power workloads to the cloud, we help however that looks, from planning the migration to managing PowerVS day to day.
IBM Storage
We help you plan, deploy, and manage IBM Storage built to keep your data available and protected, sized to what your environment actually needs.
IBM Bob
IBM's AI development partner is built to read and modernize code, including the RPG and COBOL that run on many IBM i systems. We help clients put it to work.
Who This Helps
Organizations Running IBM Today, or Thinking About It
Support across the IBM ecosystem is right for organizations that want to:
Keep Power or IBM i systems running without depending on one irreplaceable person
Explore whether moving Power workloads to PowerVS makes sense before committing to it
Plan storage that grows with the business instead of forcing a rebuild every few years
Want ongoing monitoring and support for their Power environment instead of one-off project work
Modernize RPG or IBM i code that only a few people on staff still understand
Work with one partner across their entire IBM footprint instead of piecing it together
The Koltiv Advantage
A Partner Who Has Been Inside IBM Systems Since 1975
Koltiv opened its doors in 1975 as an IBM shop, years before the AS/400 existed. We supported the midrange machines that came before it, and we have stayed with the platform through every name it has carried since: iSeries, IBM i, and now Power. That history is not a nostalgia note. It means we recognize the failure points and the shortcuts most newcomers do not.
We are a certified IBM Gold Partner. When IBM updated its partner tier structure in 2023, we carried our standing straight into it. Our three-person dedicated IBM team holds certification in every system they support, from Power and PowerVS to Storage and Bob.
That same depth is why we did not wait to bring Bob into client conversations. AI tools built for the software lifecycle work best in the hands of people who already understand the code they are modernizing. Whatever your IBM environment looks like today, we can help however you need it.
How Our IBM Partnership Works
A 3-step plan built around where you're starting
1
Assess Your Environment
We look at what's running today, whether that's Power, PowerVS, Storage, IBM i applications, or some mix of all four, and identify what's solid and what needs attention.
2
Build the Right Plan
We map a plan to your environment and your goals: ongoing management, a migration, a modernization project with Bob, or a combination.
3
Support However You Need It
Our certified team steps in as much or as little as you want. Implementation, management, or advice along the way, we stay engaged as your systems and goals change.
