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. Our most recent significant projects are the OOSH.COM.AU Content Management System, which we built to serve the Out-Of-School-Hours community, and the Online Catalogue that we built for Strathfield Municipal Library. (Click on the names in the "news" column to visit the sites for a look.)

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?

Since starting to work in a partnership, when we work on projects in the IBM AS/400 / iSeries marketplace we usually operate under the "midrange services" banner and for web related projects we typically operate under the "bohra" banner. But regardless of the name, you still get Chris and Andy with their commitment to meeting their customer's needs.
