Today's end users demand intuitive GUIs, easy-to-navigate websites, and on-demand 24x7 data processing abilities. For companies that have already invested heavily in System i applications, the strategic advantage lies in modernizing their existing legacy applications. In order to modernize, IT organizations must now support multiple platforms, implement new modernization-assisting tools and build applications using new languages.

It is at this point that IT organizations realize that in order to
survive, they must implement a multi-platform change management process. They must have a unified, structured, measurable, and repeatable process capable of managing this cornucopia of platforms, tools, languages, and developers. A comprehensive Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)
solution is the only answer.

By the end of this session, attendees will understand how today's ALM solutions:
1. Provide the essential tools to manage your modernization project while simultaneously supporting the current application.
2. Unify the work of all developers, all languages and all platforms together under one toolset.
3. Work closely with modernization tools such as WDSC, Zend and WebSmart.
