Discover how InfoConnect platform bridges the gap between IBM i and today's AI ecosystem. In this session, you'll learn how real-time Change Data Capture (CDC) streams live DB2 data from IBM i to modern data platforms with little to no coding and without impacting production performance. We'll demonstrate how to make IBM i data available to AI agents and workflows, enabling intelligent automation, natural language interfaces, and real-time decision-making. Whether you're beginning your AI journey or expanding existing IBM i capabilities, this class provides practical strategies for integrating trusted enterprise data with the latest AI technologies.

Not Legacy — Ahead of Its Time: The Future of IBM i and how IBM Bob is Changing How We Work on It. IBM i was built for what the industry is only now catching up to — and in this session, we'll prove it. We'll cover the Power11 roadmap, hybrid cloud integration, IBM i's industry-leading security and reliability, and the real cost advantages that make it hard to beat. Then we'll show why IBM i is uniquely AI-ready today, thanks to the depth of SQL Services that make connecting modern tools to your business data straightforward. In the second half, we get hands-on with Bob and the Premium Package for i — an AI assistant built specifically for IBM i. We'll show how operators and administrators can use Bob to review audit journals, investigate job logs, monitor system performance, and understand unfamiliar programs — all through natural conversation. No migrations, no rewrites. Just actionable intelligence from the system you already run. Come for the platform vision. Leave with a tool you can use on Monday morning.
AI coding agents promise faster modernization — but the bill arrives in tokens, and pure-LLM translations of RPG can compile cleanly while preserving 0% of business behavior. Through five real code examples, this session unpacks the economics of agentic development for CA 2E and CA Plex shops: deterministic analysis and transformation with CM evolveIT at the core, AI where judgment pays, and no LLM vendor lock-in.
