Presentation Outline: Practical IBM i Modernization
Modernization is a very overused word in the IBM i lexicon. In this session we decompose the word and the many approaches with practical results on what is working and what isn’t. We’ll look at tools, techniques, the latest buzzwords in the industry and how they stack up against our precious IBM i. Is there any hope for our platform past 2020? Come find out…
Learning Objectives:
- Explore types of tools leverages in the Modernization space. (not vendor specific, this is NOT a Fresche sales pitch)
- Review techniques for modernization such as database, code and open source
- Develop skills at building a roadmap toward modernization
