webgate400: nearly 25 years of continuous development, alongside companies working on IBM i
webgate400 was founded in the late 1990s with a clear goal: to help you evolve IBM i applications without losing what you have built over time
Since then, we have never stopped: version after version, we have chosen continuity, ongoing investment, and respect for the work already done, instead of “revolutions” that force you to start again from scratch.
Every component of the suite is built around the same idea: protect what already works and add what is needed today in security, document management, data analysis, internationalization, and AI.
webgate400 is the result of years of development, real-world projects, and listening to the people who use it every day in manufacturing companies and software houses working on IBM i.
Why choose webgate400
Modernization without rewriting
With webgate400, you protect the investment made over the years in your business logic.
You modernize interfaces and user experiences without touching existing programs, reducing the risks and costs of a full ERP rewrite.
A single object, every device
With webgate400, you avoid fragmentation across different versions.
The same application object runs on Windows, browsers, Android, and iOS, thanks to the webgate400 Windows client and the power-b HTML5 client.
Bringing your software to international markets is not an IT problem
With webgate400, you manage interface and application-content translation through dedicated tools that are independent of program update cycles, so you can serve users and branches in multiple languages without duplicating code.
Consolidation on a single server
Document management, email, WMS,
MES, scheduling, data presentation: with webgate400, you can centralize these areas on a single IBM i database.
You reduce system complexity, improve data quality, and simplify installation management over time.
AI integrated into the ERP
Thanks to the new add-ons,
you integrate leading AI models directly into the core of your ERP.
AI supports decision-making, suggests actions, and automates repetitive tasks, turning your software into a tool that helps you choose, not just record data.
IBM i security and reliability
The simplicity, scalability, and
native security of IBM i are not easily replicated elsewhere.
With webgate400, you maintain these strengths and add advanced authentication, Single Sign‑On, centralized policies, and secure access from browsers and mobile devices.
