 Hi folks,

I was at the WAVV conference this past Sunday and Monday.  I walked around the exhibit hall and saw 10 of our IBM Destination z member companies on the show floor.  Included (besides IBM), were aMOD, GT Software, Velocity Software, Mainline Information Systems, Levi, Ray & Shoup (LRS), Fischer International Systems Corp., Red Hat, and Illustro. Also exhibiting were our supporting member zJournal and Mainframe Executive Magazine.

If your going to the IMPACT 2010 conference, visit the zZone where more of our membership will be set up to greet you.

Yours in z,

Marc

Hey z team--

Just came across a really useful site for those of you working with information management software for System z. It's the new Information Management Software for System z e-media site, and I think you'll find its collection of materials both interesting and useful. Check out the webcasts, teleconferences, brochures, whitepapers, and demos you'll find there. The URL is

Hello Destination z followers,

I just heard  from Peter Brodsgaard, Founder and CEO of aMOD, about this webinar being co-sponsored by IBM and aMOD. aMOD is  one of our newest IBM Destination z members.  Here is an abstract of their presentation and a link to their website for more info and to register for the session on   "Data Modernization solutions for your IBM mainframe platform with a special focus on Linux for System z."

ABSTRACT:
The globalization of markets, the increase of data volumes, 24 X 7 operations and the rapidly changing business conditions requires up-to-date information for making the correct business decision in today’s ever changing world. This leads to the requirement of new solutions for data exchange especially with the support of a heterogeneous IT infrastructure in an IBM mainframe centric enterprise. This webinar focuses on our data modernization solutions tcVISION and tcACCESS that support this requirement. Through customer testimonials we will show the importance of having up-to-date information at your finger tips and how it can make your  company more efficient and competitive.
