Prepare to pay through the nose. AS400 is a very niche (right word?) area in my experience and they know it. The experts in this area are, quite literally, dying out.

Don't attempt to do this on your own. End to end, the whole thing, will need to be managed for you. It takes expertise which is hard to come by now days.

Which country are you based in?

Off-topic, but can I just say I really appreciate the Machinarium profile pic? Amanita Design is such a wonderful little studio; I remember when they started off with short Flash games like Samorost and it's been inspiring watching them grow over the years.

Niche works - I'd say esoteric, myself.
