 | 01 Jul 2008 Extend modern application lifecycle management to IBM System z
through the IBM® Rational® Software Delivery Platform (SDP). Register
now to take advantage of this collection of resources designed to help ease the
challenges of modernizing your enterprise.
True or false? Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is only for distributed
platforms.
False. Just look at the latest versions of IBM transaction servers,
such as CICS, to see how these servers have embraced Web service architecture.
The challenge is how to implement this new architecture
using the existing mainframe IT infrastructure, assets, and legacy
applications.
This complimentary kit for mainframe developers is a practical, how-to guide for
making the most of an existing development environment, including the skills and
infrastructure already in place at an established enterprise.
Use the resources in this kit to help you:
- Understand your existing assets
- Modernize your application architecture
- Modernize your developers' skills
- Modernize your processes and infrastructure
In this kit
This kit contains the following podcasts, webcasts, tutorials, white and red
papers, demos, and articles:
