You know what needs to happen; let’s talk about how to make it
happen. Successful modernization involves leveraging your
development team’s business knowledge to accomplish your
modernization goals and keep the IBM i front and center in your
IT infrastructure.
Learn how to harness existing business knowledge, create a plan,
and arm yourself with the right tools to help you build a
slicker interface, easier to maintain code, or a better
database. We’ll discuss various strategies to fit your business
needs, plus tools, staffing, education, training, development
strategies and implementation considerations. You’ll leave with
a better understanding of the steps you need to take to tackle a
range of modernization projects effectively and how to present a
strong plan to your business stakeholders.
Learning Objectives:
1) A better understanding of how to
structure your modernization projects
2) How to evaluate best in class tools to aide in modernization
3) Understanding the perception of success and exceeding
expectations
