Kato Integrations is heading to Wisconsin!

We’re proud to be a sponsor and exhibitor at inPOWER 2026, taking place September 14–17, 2026, at The Ingleside Hotel in Pewaukee, Wisconsin.

inPOWER brings together the Infor and IBM i community for several days of education, networking, and practical conversations around the technologies businesses rely on every day.

If your organization runs IBM i and you’re thinking about APIs, modernization, cloud connectivity, automation, or simply making integrations easier for your RPG team, we’d love to connect with you at the show.

About inPOWER 2026

inPOWER is a user-focused conference serving organizations working with Infor LX, XA, System21, and IBM i.

The 2026 event includes more than 100 sessions covering topics such as application modernization, integrations, AI, system administration, business operations, and the evolving IBM i ecosystem.

For attendees, it’s an opportunity to hear from product experts, technology partners, and other organizations facing many of the same IT challenges.

For Kato, it’s also a chance to spend time with the IBM i community and have practical conversations about what modernization actually looks like in real-world environments.

Visit Kato Integrations at inPOWER

As a sponsor and exhibitor, the Kato Integrations team will be onsite throughout inPOWER 2026.

Stop by and talk with us about what you’re working on.

Whether you have a specific integration project in mind or are just starting to think about your IBM i modernization roadmap, we’re happy to talk through the possibilities.

Some of the topics we’ll be ready to discuss include:

No massive modernization pitch required.

Bring us the integration challenge you’re actually trying to solve.

Build and Consume APIs in RPG

APIs have become a critical part of modern application architecture.

But for IBM i organizations, implementing APIs can sometimes introduce additional technologies, middleware, or programming languages that the existing development team then has to support.

Kato takes a different approach.

RPG API Express is built specifically for IBM i developers and allows teams to build and consume APIs using RPG.

That means organizations can connect IBM i with modern applications while continuing to use the development skills already available on their team.

RPG API Express supports integration with REST and SOAP web services and provides tools for working with JSON and XML.

For organizations looking to modernize without unnecessarily increasing the complexity of their technology stack, keeping integration development close to RPG can be a significant advantage.

Connect IBM i to the Applications Your Business Uses

Modern IBM i environments rarely operate in isolation.

Organizations increasingly need IBM i applications to communicate with:

APIs provide a standardized way to create those connections.

Instead of replacing the IBM i applications that already work, organizations can expose selected business functions and data through secure interfaces.

The result is an IBM i environment that can participate more easily in a modern application ecosystem.

Modernization Doesn’t Have to Mean Replacement

One of the recurring themes in IBM i modernization is the assumption that moving forward requires moving away from existing RPG applications.

For many organizations, that simply isn’t necessary.

Years of business logic may already exist inside IBM i applications.

That logic may handle:

Replacing all of that introduces cost, risk, and disruption.

Integration offers another path.

Organizations can preserve trusted RPG business logic while using APIs to make those capabilities available to web applications, cloud platforms, mobile tools, and other modern systems.

That is the type of practical modernization conversation we’re looking forward to having at inPOWER.

Exploring IBM i Cloud Options?

APIs aren’t the only topic we’ll be discussing.

Kato Integrations also offers Kato Spaces, a cloud-hosting option designed specifically for IBM i environments.

Cloud hosting can be useful for organizations evaluating:

If IBM i infrastructure is part of your 2027 planning, inPOWER is a good opportunity to talk through your options with our team.

Need More Development Capacity?

Technology is only one part of modernization.

Many IBM i organizations are also dealing with limited development resources, growing project backlogs, and the ongoing IBM i skills gap.

Kato Professional Services can extend an existing development team with IBM i and RPG integration expertise.

That can be particularly valuable when you know which API or integration needs to be built but don’t have the internal capacity to take on another project.

If that sounds familiar, come talk to us at inPOWER.

What Should You Ask Us at inPOWER?

Not sure where to start?

Bring us one of these questions:

“Can our RPG application connect to this API?”

“How can we expose this IBM i function as a REST API?”

“Can we eliminate this nightly file transfer?”

“How can our website get inventory directly from IBM i?”

“Can we connect our IBM i to a cloud application?”

“How can we modernize without rewriting our RPG applications?”

“Can we automate this manual process?”

“How do we make IBM i data available in real time?”

Those are exactly the kinds of conversations we enjoy.

Why Events Like inPOWER Matter

IBM i continues to run critical business operations for organizations around the world.

What continues to change is everything surrounding it.

Cloud applications, APIs, automation, AI, mobile experiences, security requirements, and customer expectations are evolving quickly.

Events like inPOWER give IBM i professionals an opportunity to compare approaches, learn from peers, explore new technology, and see how other organizations are preparing their environments for what comes next.

Kato Integrations is proud to support that community as an inPOWER 2026 sponsor and exhibitor.

See You at inPOWER 2026

If you’re attending inPOWER this year, make time to connect with the Kato Integrations team.

Whether you’re working on your first IBM i API, connecting RPG to a cloud platform, evaluating hosting options, or planning a broader modernization initiative, we’d be glad to hear what you’re working on.

Sometimes the best modernization project starts with one integration that simply needs to work better.

We’ll see you in Pewaukee!
