iTech Solutions because IBM i (AS/400’s) didn’t come with
System Administrators.

We will cover the differences between the Classic GUI and the
now new default, the Enhanced GUI. The presentation of the
GUI and location of functions have changed but the Hardware
Management Console functionality is still the same.
