Teleconference
IMS and Web 2.0 Go to Work
Broadcast Date: January 6, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, 4:00 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time
Developed for: Application Developers, IT Architects, and Business Analysts
Technical Level: Basic-Intermediate
Many businesses of all sizes are seeing their systems grow more complex. At the same time, the skills profiles of support staff are changing: There are typically fewer of them and these people have less experience and broader, but less deep, technical knowledge. This is causing application backlogs and forcing businesses to improve productivity by empowering line-of-business, self-service application development. Learn how the IMS™ Web 2.0 solution in IMS 10 addresses these new dynamics and related issues.
Web 2.0 opens a new dimension of imagination and innovation for organizations to use information as a strategic business asset to gain a competitive advantage. It advocates Representational State Transfer or “REST,” an increasingly popular, powerful and yet simple method of leveraging HTTP as a simplified Web service or feed in XML, RSS, or ATOM. A REST service or Web feed can be remixed and mashed up in new and unprecedented ways.
Join us for this complimentary teleconference and learn how the IMS Web 2.0 solution embedded in InfoSphere™ MashupHub can unleash your IMS Cobol and PL/I applications into XML, ATOM, or RSS feeds. You’ll learn how to use the IMS Web 2.0 solution to rapidly blend information and Web services with enterprise content and services, and easily mash them together to generate fast, flexible, and affordable applications. We’ll also discuss some inspiring Web mashups and tips to get started.
In this teleconference, you’ll learn how:
- Banking transactions and inventory updates are running enterprise IMS applications behind the scene
- Using IBM Mashup Center, IMS applications can be unleashed into the Web 2.0 community with very little technical knowledge
- The rich, effective Web interface provided by the IBM Mashup Center can unlock information buried in information silos
- Business users can quickly uncover new business insights by assembling information from multiple sources in a browser
