Digital transformation in action

Modernization with hybrid cloud

Dev. Ops on IBM Z

Modernization best practices Best Practices Benefits Use a SCM Supports multiple developers simultaneously working in the same area of code. Deploy Common Tooling Utilize shared skills and sharing digital artifacts across environments. Self Provisioned testing Empowering developers by allowing them to self-provision temporary resources for their application testing. For example, making use of CP&M to provision the environment for testing & deprovision once finished. Emulated Environment for early testing Developers will have a lot more flexibility for customization needed for their testing when provided with their own emulated z/OS environment such as ZD&T or IBM Wazi. Consider IBM Automatic Binary Optimizer for z/OS Takes the executables that you already have and optimizes them with the latest machine instructions without needing the source code.
