SUMMARY:Redefining Legacy Modernization Around Customer Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Why modernization success requires a flexible\, outcome-driven approach \nLegacy modernization continues to rank among the top priorities—and pressure points—for CIOs. Gartner’s Top CIO Challenges 2024 highlights application portfolio modernization as a critical concern\, yet organizations often struggle to succeed with their chosen modernization strategy\, whether that is refactor\, rewrite\, or replace. \nThis webinar takes a practical\, customer-focused look at modernization approaches that reduce risk\, accelerate outcomes\, and align with shifting business and technology requirements. Drawing from decades of modernization experience and supported by AI-driven insights\, our speakers will walk through three real-world use cases that represent today’s most common transformation paths: \n\nRefactor to a Modern Language (COBOL → Java) – How incremental\, hybrid refactoring can reduce risk\, preserve critical functionality\, and bridge widening IT skills gaps. Hear how organizations modernize at their own pace while maintaining full functional equivalence.\nReplace with a Commodity-Based Application – When a 30-year-old system has accumulated technical debt and no longer meets business needs\, a packaged solution may look attractive—but rarely covers all required functionality. Learn how generative AI accelerates gap analysis and business rule discovery to support a successful replacement strategy.\nRebuild for a Cloud-Native Architecture – For organizations reimagining their architecture entirely\, a rewrite requires deep analysis of current-state functionality\, interdependencies\, and modernization feasibility. We’ll cover how teams accelerate and de-risk this high-impact path.\n\nAttendees will gain clear\, actionable guidance on when to use each approach—and how to combine them to meet business outcomes while managing cost\, complexity\, and risk. \nAveriSource will also share recommended resources during the session\, including their latest blog post\, “Redefining the Forgotten Art of Legacy Modernization.” \n \n  \nPresenters\nBarry Tait\, Head of Solutions\, AveriSourceWith 30+ years of modernization leadership at AWS\, NTT DATA\, and Dell\, Barry helps organizations transform legacy workloads with pragmatic\, future-ready strategies. \nGreg Ogburn\, Head of Product\, AveriSourceWith over 20 years of experience designing and delivering modernization solutions across startup and enterprise environments\, Greg specializes in applying AI and knowledge analysis technologies to accelerate modernization outcomes. \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:Virtual IMS User Group | IMS Managed ACB Mandate After 6 Months – Adapting to the New Normal
DESCRIPTION:IMS Managed ACB Mandate After 6 Months – Adapting to the New Normal\nSix months after the IMS Managed ACB mandate\, the landscape for IMS administrators and DBAs has fundamentally changed. What began as a modernization requirement has evolved into a catalyst for greater automation\, consistency\, and agility across IMS environments. This session revisits the history of the IMS Catalog\, exploring its evolution and the rationale behind the “why now” moment for Managed ACBs. \nWe’ll discuss how environmental changes—ranging from compliance needs to DevOps integration—have reshaped traditional IMS operations. You’ll gain clarity on Shared vs. Non-Shared Catalog configurations and the key considerations for each\, along with best practices for maintaining the IMS Catalog in production. \nWith DDL—the next generation of schema management— taking center stage\, we’ll show how defining and deploying IMS databases has become more dynamic and less error-prone. Vendor utilities have evolved in lockstep to provide full support\, enabling smoother transitions and day-to-day operations. \nFinally\, we’ll reflect on how life has changed post-Managed ACBs—from reduced manual maintenance and ACBLIB management to improved governance and CI/CD readiness—transforming how IMS teams build\, test\, and deploy database changes. The session will conclude with a list of webinars and learning resources to help you continue mastering this new IMS era. \nSpeaker: Anshul Agrawal\, Senior Manager Product Development for BMC AMI Data for IMS and AI for IMS – Squad \nRegistrations available now!

SUMMARY:Optimizing Performance at the Speed of Light: Why I/O Avoidance is Even More Important Today
DESCRIPTION:Long gone are the days of the mainframe processors having relatively low processor speeds and relatively small memory sizes. The modern mainframe can have TBs of memory\, and the processor clock speeds are among the fastest in the world. Fast processors wait at the same speed as slow processors\, but the opportunity cost of waiting is higher. Optimizing processor performance today is all about keeping data as close as possible to the CPU core and reducing the instruction count needed to get to a piece of data. \nIn this webinar\, special guest Larry Strickland from Data Kinetics will join Scott Chapman for an interesting discussion into why I/O avoidance is more important today and different ways that can be accomplished. \nSpeakers: Scott Chapman of EPS & Larry Strickland of DKL \nBy registering for this webinar\, you are consenting to sharing your information with EPS.

SUMMARY:Virtual CICS User Group - CICS Resource Definitions as part of a DevOps Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:Many organizations already leverage automated DevOps practices for distributed applications\, and now many are looking to include z applications in the pipeline.  For CICS\, developers manage source code and the executable modules\, but the systems programmers typically manage the related CICS resource definitions.  This separation between the code and resource definitions creates issues when incorporating CICS applications into an automated DevOps pipeline.  This session will explore techniques and tooling using CICS Configuration Manager that allow application developers to create/modify/promote CICS resource definitions while also allowing the systems organization to have oversight and governance\, so they can insure the integrity of the CICS environment. \nAbout the Speaker: Ezriel is a Principal Solutions Advisor for Rocket Software specializing in IBM CICS Tools. He was formally the CEO of Circle software (acquired by Rocket Software in 2018)\, where he specialized in hands-on classes and consulting in CICS\, DB2\, and MQSeries. Ezriel was a Gold Consultant for many years and is currently an IBM Champion.
