In this Guided Tour, Amy Blea shares key insights and perspectives on IBM Bob, offering a closer look at how the tool helps organizations better understand their IBM i applications, support modernization initiatives, and enable smarter, more efficient development practices. Through guided examples and practical discussions, attendees gain visibility into how Bob brings clarity to complex environments and helps teams make more confident decisions. It’s a great opportunity to learn, ask questions, and engage—whether you’re deeply experienced with the IBM i platform or just beginning to explore what’s next. And of course, IBM Bob will be along for the ride, helping make the journey both informative and fun.

The IBM i team is announcing a series of Guided Tours on important IBM i topics. These Guided Tours are intended for IBM and Business Partner sellers and technical sellers. Customers are also welcome to attend the Guided Tour sessions.

Welcome to IBM Bob. To celebrate the general availability of IBM Bob, Scott and Tim put Bob through its paces, taking some SQL, creating design documents, asking for coding improvements, and even getting Bob to write some new SQL. Bob is ready to be your IBM i development partner. 

Short demonstrations of tools, techniques and examples (including working SQL examples!!) to help you solve real problems that are part of your everyday work.  Presented by Scott Forstie and Tim Rowe, IBM

Vamos a hablar sobre las métricas en el Sistema Operativo, la Base de Datos y la Aplicación que debemos revisar en nuestro entorno para tener el mejor rendimiento. Revisando las herramientas que nos brinda el sistema operativo, el Db2 for i, y terceros para conseguir este afinamiento de nuestro sistema

Hablaremos acerca de esas tareas técnicas que postergamos “por el negocio” y que pueden ser o nuestra salvación o nuestra perdición 

Source versioning tools like Git have transformed modern development—but for IBM i teams, Git alone isn’t enough. When paired with structured change management, it becomes a powerful combination that streamlines source control, strengthens compliance, and improves collaboration across IT teams.

Join Donna Westmoreland and fellow IBM i innovators as they share real-world experiences integrating Git with IBM i change management. Discover how organizations are embracing DevOps practices while maintaining the control, auditability, and reliability IBM i environments demand.

In this session, you’ll learn how combining Git with change management enables:

• Faster, more efficient Git interactions with IBM i
• Clear traceability and audit readiness
• Seamless synchronization between development and production
• Improved team collaboration without sacrificing governance

If you’re looking to modernize your IBM i development process without compromising stability or compliance, this session will show you how to achieve the best of both worlds: agile, collaborative development with safe, controlled deployments.
