5:00 Session 1: EXTEND The Reach of IBM i: Accelerating Business Integration

• Speaker: Brian bennett
  
• Abstract: More companies are realizing the need to strategically integrate internal applications, services and data with external partners. Since the demand for increasing levels of business integration has outstripped the capacity of many IT organizations, this session will look at seven specific examples where middleware has bridged the integration gap better than custom-coded alternatives.

• Abstract:With the recent announcement of the IBM i V7.1 Technology Refresh, known as TR 7, and its numerous enhancements, including additional free format coding support to the RPG IV programming language, to help increasing productivity and modernizing the RPG language, Barbara is the best person to show us what has changed and how we could use them.
