Tags: Proceedings, 2017, SHARE San Jose 2017

As Gartner puts it “CIOs can’t transform their old IT organization into a digital startup, but they can turn it into a bi-modal IT organization”. CICS TS V5 enables this ‘2-speed’ or ‘Bimodal’ IT approach, by allowing customers to run multiple different releases of CICS TS V5.x concurrently, whilst managing them as a cohesive whole. Customer can add new ‘Mobile Owning Regions’, ‘Java Owning Regions’ or ‘Web Owning Regions’ using CICS TS V5.3, whilst retaining the remainder of their infrastructure at CICS TS V5.1 or V5.2 level. Come to this technical session to understand what you need to consider when upgrading from previous versions of CICS TS, and also the technical steps and best practices for maintaining an mixed V5.x environment to achieve the agility of 2-speed IT.-Ian Burnett-IBM UK Laboratories Limited
