SUMMARY:PSP: Mainframe Smarter: Reclaim Capacity, Unlock Data, and Innovat
 e in Place
DESCRIPTION:Robert Jeffcott and Demos Economacos (Software AG)\n\nModern e
 nterprises face a dual challenge: maximizing efficiency while connecting c
 ritical mainframe data to cutting-edge AI and real-time applications. This
  session presents a two-pronged strategy to transform your existing infras
 tructure into a high-performance engine for innovation, without the risk o
 r challenges of migration. \n\nOptimize COBOL Workloads \nDiscover how to 
 immediately free up general processor (GP) capacity by redistributing high
 -utilization workloads to the IBM z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP
 ) by compiling COBOL source code into Java bytecode—without changing a lin
 e of code. You'll learn: \n\nHow to dramatically reduce COBOL workloads ru
 nning on the GP by up to 80 percent. \nWhy you don’t need to rewrite code,
  migrate data, or disrupt business continuity to modernize workload proces
 sing. \nHow reclaimed capacity provides the foundation for launching new, 
 innovative projects on the secure IBM Z platform you already trust. \n\nSt
 ream Mainframe Data. Anywhere, Anytime \nWith resources reclaimed, the foc
 us shifts to data accessibility. We will demonstrate how to bridge the gap
  between "locked" legacy data and modern systems like AI agents and real-t
 ime event streaming. Attendees will learn how to: \n\nMaintain data integr
 ity while enabling real-time analytics. \nCreate a secure access layer to 
 feed legacy data directly into AI models and Kafka-based ecosystems. \nUse
  newly available processing power to fuel digital transformation initiativ
 es. \n\nJoin Software AG to learn how to turn your trusted infrastructure 
 into a launchpad for innovation.\n\n
