Clients in many industries such as financial services are undertaking transformation and modernization initiatives in order to leverage concepts such as hybrid cloud to deliver new function faster and with more agility. In many cases, clients have core transactional and batch systems of record that are essential to the operations of the business, and in industries such as banking and financial markets, insurance, large retail and government, many of these systems run on the IBM Z Mainframe. This session will focus on how Z Digital Integration Hubs can be used to enable effective interaction between core systems and cloud platforms without the disruptive aspects of migration or large scale data movement. Mythili from IBM will discuss the overall approach, architecture as well as use cases, and Sean from M&T will share how his organization believes a Z Digital Integration Hub will help to underpin an efficient and real-time event-based information flow.
