2. Growing impatient waiting for DevOps benefits?
• Have you ever noticed how often certain techno-marketing terms show up in slide presentations
• From Interconnect:
– “Innovation”
– “Transform”
– “Building”
– And my personal favorite “Re-imagine”
• What do all of these marketing triggers have in common?
– They’re all future tense
– There’s an implied long-term ROI
• But never more so than today, business requires solutions that produce benefits – here and now
• So with apologies to Fritz Perls let’s look at a product that delivers – quantified DevOps benefits –
today.

9. Agile… Automation … Advanced
“Agile means more to us than just
advanced functionality and
tooling automation.
We are interested in solutions that
implement Agile processes by
integrating with modern lifecycle
management solutions,
integrating with our z/OS tooling
and being based on the open
Eclipse platform.”

13. Summary – Quantified Benefits/Improving Time-to-Market
• Source: RDz v7.6 vs. ISPF
Benchmark
– 23 Veteran ISPF programmers
– Benchmark has been repeated
and the benefits validated by:
• Several corporations
• European University
• Benchmark specifics (process,
methodology, scripts) available
upon request
14. When will RDz - and its benefits - become available?
• 13 years ago …. That’s when IBM introduced WSAD (WebSphere Application Developer)
– RDz is not something new & unproven
– There are > 2,000 shops (world-wide) that have deployed RDz
– ~50,000 developers (from ages 20 70) use RDz every day – with the attendant benefits to their
companies
