iSeries Development and Support a specialty

Welcome to the midrange services corner of the web.

midrange services is Chris Faber, who together with Andy Griffiths of Bohra Computer Services, provides a range of services including:

  • Application maintenance
  • Application migrations
  • Application support
  • Analysis
  • Consulting
  • Data Interchange (EDI, XML)
  • EFT Implementations
  • Monitoring your iSeries/AS/400
  • Operational advisory service
  • Programming
  • System design
  • Web Development including Search Engine Optimization

For the last fifteen years, we've worked predominately in IBM's midrange arena (iSeries / AS/400 / System 36) covering a range of projects and situations (as you will see if you explore the pages available through the navigation options in the tabs above).


Expanding our horizons

Of more recent times, we've added web development to the mix. Some of our significant projects are the OOSH.COM.AU Content Management System, which we built to serve the Out-Of-School-Hours community, the Online Catalogue that we built for Strathfield Municipal Library and the Inner West Information site.

If you guys are so good at web development, how come your pages are so ordinary? Well, there are a number of reasons:

  • we prefer simple sites that use minimum graphics (improves response time)
  • we prefer to spend our time working for clients rather than ourselves (we've all got to eat)
  • we are developers not designers so our skills run to databases and scripting rather than graphics and colours (we stick to what we're good at)

So, don't judge us by our own sites, take a look at some of our projects.

Why the two names?

After a while we started working in partnership - two heads are better than one, some would say. For a long time, when we worked on projects in the IBM AS/400 / iSeries marketplace we operate under the "midrange services" banner and for web related projects we typically operated under the "bohra" banner. Of more recent times, we have performed our partnership work (web related) under the banner MidBoh Web Services. Regardless of the name, you still get Chris and Andy with their commitment to meeting their customer's needs.

News!

January 2009:
Ceiling Suckers have just moved their hosting under our control. Their previous hosting provider had them hosted on a USA Server. We moved them to our Australian based facility and they felt a surge in interest in the website. (It didn't hurt that Kevin Rudd made his announcement about insulation rebates around that time.) We hope to start a serious SEO program and website rebuild in the coming months.

August 2008:
Welcome to Southern Crush Wine Tours our latest project. The object here is to build a website to launch this new business and then help them reach their potential customers by optimising the website. If your looking for an easy way to tour the wineries of the Southern Highlands of NSW this is a great place to visit.

November 2007:
Currently we're working on a SEO makeover for Livermore Pest Control, the new domain for Livermore and Son. Once we have finished working on the new domain we will create a series of redirects from the original pages to the equivalent pages on the new site.

May 2007:
We've just started working with SubFloor Ventilation based in the Hills District but providing advice and solutions to subfloor problems to all parts of the Sydney metropolitan area. We are providing hosting and Search Engine Optimising for them.
