2. Welcome to Orlando and
IBM Innovate 2012
The Premier Event for Software and Systems Innovation!
On behalf of the IBM Rational team, I want to personally thank you for joining us for our most important client event of the
year. Innovate provides you with an excellent opportunity to network and share ideas with thousands of your peers, meet
industry experts, and learn more about the IBM solutions that are helping us all build a Smarter Planet.
Innovate 2012 is where you can discover what’s NEXT in software technology, development methodologies, and industry
trends from IBM as well as client thought leaders and practitioners. You’ll also learn how IBM and our partners are going
to help you get there NOW. IBM will share the stage with clients, business partners, and your peers, all of whom will show
how software and systems innovation creates new business opportunities. You’ll see how improved development and
delivery methods help you achieve desired business outcomes, execute with reduced risk and cost, and accelerate the
pace of software and systems delivery. With the proliferation of mobile devices, the consumerization of IT, and the growth
of cloud computing, NOW is the time for enterprises to integrate every aspect of the software and systems life cycle.
Value creation in almost every industry is shifting towards software, and your role in software innovation has never been
more critical. As software and systems professionals, you are building a future that is increasingly reliant on software as the
heart of interconnected and intelligent products and services. I sincerely believe that, at Innovate 2012, you will learn new
and better ways to integrate your processes and deliver the software innovations of tomorrow with the help of our solutions.
More than ever, Innovate 2012 is built around your needs and interests. It is more focused, streamlined, and interactive
than ever before. We have added new elements to the conference such as ScrumMaster® Training, The Innovate Race Car
Challenge and the WebSphere Developer Jam; and, by popular demand, we’ve brought back more interactive sessions,
like Birds-of-a-Feather. We have assembled a strong educational curriculum with a set of new tracks including Agile
Transformation, Cloud Development & Deployment, Mobile Application Development, Direct from the Jazz Developers,
Rational Genius and Packaged Applications. And we could not have done it without you. In fact more than 150 of our
sessions are delivered by you and your peers. Innovate 2012 is itself a true example of how integration, collaboration, and
optimization help drive innovation.
It is a pleasure to have you here and I’m con dent you’ll nd Innovate 2012 a valuable experience. I look forward to seeing
you at the opening keynote session, Monday, June 4th at 8:00am, ET.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kristof Kloeckner
General Manager
