  • CICS users are loyal to their apps – and for good reason! However, they also need to integrate these same applications with an ever widening array of web, cloud and mobile resources. If that weren’t enough, every year they are under pressure to support new workload and reduce the cost of ownership. That’s a tall order.

    Fortunately, IBM continues to deliver new versions of CICS that focus on operational efficiency and service agility. CICS business partners build upon these capabilities to help customers save time, reduce cost or generate revenue.

    This presentation highlights tactics and strategies and tools that customers are using to enhance the value of their existing CICS and System z investments – while lowering their total cost of ownership.

    Harry MacCord, Director, Educational Testing Service and Keith Hallquist, Solution Architect, Enterprise Architecture, Woodmen of the World will be presenting the technology solutions that have been implemented in their organizations.
