Common questions

Things people ask us

Do we have to replace our existing systems?

No. highgrove usually starts by stabilising, integrating and improving what already works. Replacement is rarely the answer — and rarely necessary.

Can you work with our existing IT team?

Yes. highgrove can act as a specialist partner alongside internal teams and existing suppliers — adding depth where it's needed without disrupting what works.

Is this only for IBM i businesses?

No. IBM i is a deep specialism and credibility anchor, but highgrove also works across cloud, document workflow, EDI, AI automation and managed IT — for any platform.

Can we start small?

Yes. Many engagements begin with a conversation, a review, a support issue or a defined integration project. There's no minimum commitment to talking to us.

If your operational systems matter, talk to people who've been keeping them running for 35 years.
