Host Pat Flanders introduces a previously recorded discussion between two IBM executives that focuses on business process management and WebSphere Business Modeler. Hear how IBM products can help you implement true "closed loop" business process management:
- Learn how WebSphere Business Modeler is much more than just a tool to graphically represent processes. It also simulates the execution of the process itself by exporting the model using XML-based Business Process Execution Language (BPEL).
- Learn what professional roles are involved in this end-to-end development process that starts with WebSphere Business Modeler.
- Learn about tools that help you build composite applications and generate BPEL, facilitating you and your management to evaluate the processing power between your business transactions.
On the "Did you say Mainframe?!" segment, Dave Rhoderick interviews Ian Mitchell about
CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS:
- What CICS is and does, its relevance today, and how CICS Transaction Server V3.1 is being received by customers.
- How to get business value from CICS through Web services and SOA and how to evaluate and exploit the new capabilities.
- How to use the tooling, especially for non-mainframe developers, and what were the lessons learned.
On the "MarketWatch" segment, David Backus interviews Don Ferguson on the software industry as a whole. Don talks about where IBM sees itself within the industry relative to other vendors like Oracle and SAP, and some of the convergent factors and trends that are helping to reshape the world as we know it today. Listen to Part 1 of this two-part interview.
