Exploring the Impact of Artificial Intelligence: Rocket Software Heads to COMMON’s POWERUp Conference
April 11, 2023
Rocket Software is heading to POWERUp, the leading and largest IBM i education and networking event. Hosted by COMMON, the world’s largest association of IT professionals that focus on IBM and related technologies, POWERUp is taking place this year from April 24-27 in Denver, Colorado. At the event, Rocket Software experts will present on how AI will change how businesses approach their IBM i strategy, and cover topics including modernization, cloud storage, and multi-factor authentication in subsequent sessions.
AI is playing an increasingly pivotal role in IT organizations, and this is no less true of the IBM i space. With AI, IBM i leaders have the information, insight, and recommendations to understand how best to optimize and modernize their IBM i environments. But, in order to take full advantage of this technology, IT leaders need to set the foundation now. During a sponsored presentation on Monday, April 24 from 4-5 p.m. MDT, Rocket Software’s Herman Rensink, distinguished engineer, and Jeroen van Dun, senior manager, product management, will dive deeper into this topic to identify the data that organizations need to collect today in order to provide the dataset for the next generation of AI/ML tomorrow.
Rocket Software experts will be hosting multiple sessions at the event, including:
