Developed for: IT managers, technical architects, database administrators, system programmers, operations managers and application development managers
Technical Level: Basic – intermediate
It’s not an uncommon challenge – a company that has long depended on IMS™ needed the ability to pull together all of its disparate IMS mainframe applications to provide access to a variety of data through a more modern user interface. But simply converting existing green screens into a graphical interface was not the goal. Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW), one of Germany’s largest banks, wanted to preserve its functionally rich system of legacy applications to support existing business processes, and reuse services for other projects in its pipeline.
Join us for this complimentary teleconference and learn how LBBW faced the challenge of updating its mainframe-based stock trading applications for inclusion in its enterprise-wide, Web-enablement and SOA initiatives. Even though the company’s IMS green screens were inadequate to support its business initiatives, one thing was certain: It would be far too complicated, time-consuming and expensive to rewrite its existing business logic.
In this teleconference, you’ll come away with critical insight from LBBW on how the company:
- Used a combination of IMS, WebSphere® and GT Software’s Ivory to complete its online stock trading system – on time and on budget
- Enabled IMS developers to build business services without extensive training or specialized skills
- Quickly built reusable composite services that fully leverage existing mainframe investments
- Committed its future to using the mainframe as the hub platform for SOA
Speaker: Hans-Jürgen Bäuerle, Manager Order Management Group, IT Financial Markets Operations
