    Cost Control The solution can’t cost too much to own and operateIf it costs too much, you won’t event 

    get to try…

  • • Lightweight development toolsLightweight development tools• No coding or code generated• Rapid iteration gets the job done

    • Near‐zero learning curve to access deep feature set• No risk deployment choices

    Onboard mainframe (zIIP and zAAP) to zLinux to Linux to Windows

    • Banking, Insurance, Manufacturing• Thousands of services millions of transactions

  • Problem Expose legacy IMS and MQ Series applications that run the core business

    Lack of reuse and productivity

    Return on investment in Ivory achieved in 12 months• Hundreds of new services added credit reporting property

    Results

    • Hundreds of new services added – credit reporting, property deeds, checking, deposits, loans, insurance, etc.

    Snapshot production stats…p p• Over 400 services in production after 18 months

    • Over 5 million services invoked per day

  • Problem Writing code was mainframe integration strategy with redundant interfaces throughout the mainframe

    Several strategic applications with very aggressive delivery dates

    Ivory Service Architect was the ONLY way to meet Mobile Banking dates Results

    Ivory is saving the bank hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in 

    maintenance

    Ivory has allowed the bank to slash delivery time of critical applications by 

    up to 75%

    ®

    Ivory projects are now redeployed on leveraging the zIIP engine reducing 

    GPP CPU by up to 50%

  • Selected Ivory Service Architect from GT Software to develop IMS‐basedGT Software to develop IMS‐based Web services

    Met the aggressive timeline (8 months)

    W b i 80% fWeb services reuse ~ 80% for next brokerage project

    IMS and the mainframe are the cornerstones of LBBW’s SOA

  • “The ease of use of the Ivory Studio enabled the expedient creation of Web services, which allowed for the speed of the implementation of the project.  

    Our team mastered the tool within two days without any training just by ‘learning by doing”
