Development teams that need to rapidly build, maintain, and modernize business applications through model-driven native code generation
About 2E
2E simplifies IBM i application development by integrating design modeling, native code generation, and deployment tools in a single environment. It helps teams rapidly develop and modernize IBM i business applications while preserving the value of existing systems and reducing the complexity of traditional development. With 2E, developers can design applications at a higher level of abstraction and automatically generate native IBM i code, helping improve productivity, consistency, and maintainability across the application lifecycle. It supports model-based development, enabling teams to define business rules, data structures, screens, and application logic in a structured way before generating reliable applications for IBM i environments. It helps organizations accelerate delivery, improve application quality, and make development more accessible by reducing the amount of manual coding required.
