The conversation around modernization is always on everyone's minds.
Do you stay on your IBM® i or IBM Z® platform and enable modern technologies or do you spend the resources to move to a distributed system?
Come have a glass (or two) of wine and share stories and best practices around modernizing your legacy systems. It’s a chance to relax, and exchange ideas, while learning about the Rioja wine region of Northern Spain from a wine expert.
Discussion Includes:
- Results from our recent modernization journey survey
- IT strategy
Your experiences are important to the discussion and we encourage your on-camera participation in this open forum!
