The evolution of work is on every IT leader’s mind, whether it’s in the context of hybrid work, generative AI, or automation. For IBM i and IBM Z teams, though, there’s also the challenge of a shrinking workforce that has deep expertise in system administration and development. The good news is teams can take advantage of the evolution of work in a way that not only mitigates the skills shortage business impact but also sets up the organization for success.

In this session, we will discuss what you need to do to take advantage of the trends in the evolution of work, including how to:
• Leverage pipelines to visualize and document your DevOps processes
• Enable 3rd party tried and true tools 
• Weave hyper-automation into your every day
• Enable teams to experiment with new tech and IT trends like AI
• Simplify a move to the cloud

Evolution of Work: How to Set Up Your IBM I & Z Environment to Weather Changes

CICS problems, whether they’re related to performance or transaction failures, can in some cases be easily remediated in the short term. But getting to the root cause of the problem and creating a permanent fix can be quite a bit more difficult. In this session, we’ll discuss a methodology for finding and resolving CICS problems, whether they’re related to performance or outages, and show some CICS products that can each help in isolation, but when combined can provide a solution to even the most difficult issues.

In this session, you will:
- Understand the common types of CICS problems that can occur, including performance issues and transaction failures.
- Gain insights into a systematic methodology for effectively finding and resolving CICS problems.
- Gain an understanding of the importance of proactive monitoring and preventive measures.

- Learn how to analyze CICS performance metrics and logs to identify problem areas and potential bottlenecks.
- Explore real-world case studies or examples that highlight resolving complex CICS problems

If you’ve spent any time online in the last few months, you likely saw the buzz around ChatGPT, a new chatbot developed by OpenAI. Suddenly, the capabilities of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) are democratized, their insights and guidance no longer exclusively available for data scientists. While the breadth and depth are unclear, it is certain they will have an impact for years to come.
The IBM® i is no exception. AI/ML will play a pivotal role in providing IBM i leaders the information, insight, and recommendations as to how best to optimize and modernize their IBM i environments. 
Join Rocket Software’s Herman Rensink, Distinguished Engineer, and Jeroen van Dun, Senior Manager, Product Management, for a future-facing discussion about AI, ML, and IBM i strategy. In this session, we will talk about the data you should collect today to provide the dataset for the next generation of AI/ML experience tomorrow. In addition, we’ll discuss different touch points for consideration, including:

· Hybrid cloud 
· Enabling future technology & tool integration
· DevOps, including testing
· Application modernization
· Workflow automation
· Security

The Future of IBM i Strategy is AI

The more your systems of engagement rely on the mainframe—and they increasingly do as digital transformation accelerates—the more your mainframe becomes a bottleneck if the culture, processes, and tools surrounding it don’t evolve.

Join Ken Gross of Mainline® Information Systems and Peter Fandel of Rocket® Software as they discuss continued advancements in mainframe technology for supporting an enterprise-wide DevOps culture.

Hear how evolving traditional mainframe development methodologies and adoption of open source software (OSS) on IBM Z are providing modernization-in-place as a viable initiative and evolving IBM Z from a siloed platform to a transformative one.

We’ll discuss:
+ How shifting focus of platform management to DevOps value stream management can accelerate digital transformation
+ Why creating a seamless integration of high-velocity toolchains that can transparently connect to mainframe development tools is key to modernizing legacy applications in place
+ How OSS can neutralize the disparity between seasoned IBM Z and emerging developers
+ How Rocket Software is delivering commercially supported OSS to IBM Z
+ How Mainline is helping their IBM Z customers to transition to modern DevOps environments
