Jonathan Bolton began his IT journey in 1982 when he purchased and installed a System/34 running IBM MAPICS in a family business in which he was one of the principals, migrating to the first generation of AS/400 in 1989.


With the sale of the business assets to a larger firm in 1995, he took up IT as a full-time occupation. Working with MAPICS (now Infor XA) for over 25 years at two different firms, he added 2E to his portfolio. Jonathan is now with CM First Group in both 2E development and IBM i operations roles.
