Transforming z Systems for the Mobile, Digital & API EconomyFuel innovation | Reach new markets | Build your APIs

§ The API economy plays a central role in contemporary Cloud, Mobile and Web applications– By 2018, some 68% mobile apps will be built on APIs– The API Economy will become a $2.2 trillion market by 2018, analysts estimate– 70% of business transactions in enterprises today touch IBM z Systems

§ These significant business opportunities are tempered by technical challenges including integration, security and cost-effective delivery, at the speed-of-digital

§ Join IBM world experts at this 3-day client event, exploring topics including:– The evolution to the API economy– What makes a good API? Best practices for the API world– Create world-class APIs for speedy access to core business logic– Secure, govern and enhance APIs to reach new markets– Consumers of APIs in practice: Mobile, Cloud and Internet of Things (IoT)

“Mainframe data feels different”

A common misconception:

§ “Mainframe data is difficult to access”

§ “I want to discover my own services”

§ “I don’t want to be bound by formalised COBOL (or even XML!) data structures”

§ “Solution: let’s hold the data with easier access… maybe a cache/ noSQL DB?”

Certainly not true or necessary!

With technologies like z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition & IBM API Connect…

…contemporary developers can now consume mainframe services in preciselythe same way as a Google Maps or Facebook API

Individuals in clients and partners who would find this three day event of interest:§ Architect communities

– Integration Architects– Enterprise Architects

§ IT Strategists§ Mainframe application owners§ API Developers/ specialists

Attendees only need a general awareness of web services and API principles, with introduction and progressive technical depth being developed over the course of the three days. An architectural understanding of z Systems environments, such as CICS and DB2, is recommended - however there is no requirement for attendees to have had hands-on practical experience of these technologies.

The primary technologies that will be discussed and shown over the course of the three days are: API Connect, z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition and DataPower, in the context of subsystems such as CICS, and cloud environments such as IBM BlueMix. The idea is that attendees will develop an understanding of how mainframe applications are now directly consumable as a set of REST APIs - in much the same way as a Google API.
