Common Europe Congress 2023

Stop waiting to start your futurization journey. Analysis prior to taking action in a transformation initiative is smart, but many get caught in analysis paralysis. As you determine long-term vision, you can simultaneously take smaller steps toward modernization that will support any end-objective. Join us for the session to explore starting your journey NOW without risking any futurization goals.

This session is for business executives, and focuses on business value that is created when modernizing in a phased approach. We will not get into programming details, but stay focused on business drivers and demands, and how IT can support the business objectives while "keeping the lights on" with their current workload.

This session will cover:
1.) When to consider open-source over the RPG language, and how to get going
2.) Getting buy-in to a modernization initiative by your RPG programmers, allowing them to engage, participate, and contribute to the journey while collaborating with people with differing skillsets.
3.) When you should consider a new package (with integration) vs. packages vs code or database transformation
4.) Aligning Business and IT to have a common goal, utilizing the best of both resources to ensure success.
