About me
Koen Decorte is the founder of CD-Invest nv, a Belgian IBM i consultancy with over 30 years of expertise in ERP/CRM and open source development, IBM i platform modernization, and PEPPOL e-invoicing services. CD-Invest is home to several IBM Champions and serves enterprise clients across Belgium and Europe, with an additional presence in Spain.
An IBM Champion since 2018, Koen specializes in modernizing IBM i applications bridging decades of mission-critical business logic with contemporary web architectures. He is an active contributor to the IBM i community as a CEAC member and treasurer of Common Belgium.
Koen has spent 30 years inside IBM i systems — long enough to know where the bodies are buried, and long enough to resurrect a few of them with Python, AI, and some decidedly unorthodox ideas.
His talks working sessions: concrete techniques you can apply on Monday morning, delivered by someone who has already done the debugging so you don't have to. Expect live code, real data, and at least one moment where something works better than it should.
