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

Problem Analysis and Performance Tuning for CICS

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

If your business relies on a MultiValue-based system of record, you may be working on decoupling one piece of what your MV app does to be handled by an API-first (or cloud-first) application like ServiceNow, Salesforce, etc. Your next step is to integrate your MV app with the recently introduced solution.
While your goal is to quickly implement this solution to meet SLAs and improve customer experiences, you may be encountering a lack of familiarity with either the ins and outs of MV, Open API Standard Compliance, RESTful API development, orchestration/automation, or some combination of these factors.
Join two of Rocket® Software’s Principal Sales Engineers, Charles Jones and Larry Schoenleber, and MV Evangelist Mike Rajkowski, as they share their experiences helping MV customers get these projects across the finish line. In this session, they will review tried and tested solutions and implementation strategies for creating Open API standard-compliant RESTful APIs and accelerating the orchestration and automation of the APIs. In addition, they’ll cover different use cases, including:
• Application to application workflow automation
• Database to database workflow automation
• MV RESTful modernization scenarios
• A sample workflow process automation model that includes multiple data sources
• API management and monitoring
