IBM i Automation: Getting It Right - Five best practices that will help you achieve maximum business value
When it comes to IBM i applications, you’ll find that IBM i automation often ends up out of scope for new projects. But when you’re equipped with the right tools and approaches, the ‘impossible’ is made possible. New tools and approaches are opening the door to adding IBM i back into your automation projects so you can achieve maximum business value.
Join our principal sales engineer, Andrew Simpson, to learn five IBM i automation best practices you can leverage right away, including:
• How to build out a smart automation strategy
• Understanding the human component and how it influences your automation prioritization
• Automation management

In a short session we will demonstrate how to approach API first using open source technology on IBM i. Doing so we will discuss the advantages and possibilities of this approach.

IBM recently released their IBMi roadmap, showing support through 2031. The i will continue to be the most powerful business machine for at least the next decade and most likely well after that. As for developers tapping into this power, there have never been so many application development options. We now have more ways than ever to develop business-critical web apps.
So what is the right development approach for your development team? How are you approaching web development? Do you know that utilizing a low-code approach can not just speed up app development but streamline the process as well? This ensures the most efficient approach for both developing apps and maintaining them through their life cycle.
Join Jürgen Rentinck, LANSA Solutions Archtect, as he explains how utilizing low-code can streamline your web application development for both experienced web developers and those who are unfamiliar with web technologies.

In order for developers to improve productivity by reusing code created by others, a plan for encouraging reuse must be put in place. RDi provides the ability to share Templates and Snippets between developers. This session explores how to capitalize on that capability.

Learning Objectives:

1. Improving developer productivity with Templates & Snippets
2. Creating Templates & Snippets
3. Sharing Templates and Snippets with other Developers

Beyond Modernisation - IBM i in the world of Cloud and AI

For many people, the term “Modernisation” means simply adding a pretty interface to an existing application.
And while this can improve a system’s usability, we are finding now that companies are beginning to embrace
new technologies and sources of information to enable them to add key functionality to their IBM i applications
and add value to their business. And with modern programming languages this may be easier & less costly than we think.
We will demonstrate some examples of what can be achieved with a little imagination….
