Overview of the most commonly used (popular) ChangeMan ZMF customizations created by AbitMORE SCM. This overview also includes information about the techniques used by AbitMORE to develop these customizations so that they are reusable, configurable and ChangeMan ZMF release independent.
Traditional TMS has not ventured into the world of more specialist logistics solutions such as Air, Rail networks and Postal services. However more and more we are seeing OTM being delivered in these industries across Europe . In the presentation we will demonstrate with use cases how OTM is being applied in these complex, previously off limits industries.
Keeping ChangeMan ZMF environments in perfect shapeAbitMORE SCM
Typical issues showing up in mostly any ChangeMan ZMF environment after it has been operational for a number of years.

Hyperion EPM APIs - Added value from HFM, Workspace, FDM, Smartview, and Shar...Charles Beyer
Application Programming Interfaces allow developers to leverage existing program code in an effort to build additional functionality, automate processes or present existing functionality in a different format. APIs exist for many of Hyperion products; however, clear examples of how to use them are not always easy to find nor are applications for the API readily available. Proper application of the APIs for HFM, Workspace, FDM, Smartview and Shared Services can simplify the daily routines of end users and administrators.
This session will provide a high level overview of how each of the APIs work. Additionally, real-world examples for each API will be provided. Fully working code will be available for download from the ODTUG 12 site which attendees can use in their own environments.

IBM PureApplication System is a cloud application platform that can dramatically accelerate time-to-value and automate deployment and lifecycle management for a broad range of applications. This session outlines the advantages gained and lessons learned from a recently deployment and integration of IBM PureApplication System in detail as well other used cases at customers from various industries so that others can benefit from the accomplishments of this project.
Many organizations still lack the ability to not only monitor, but more important, to truly manage their ECM applications. This slideshare shares how to advance ECM monitoring much further into ECM Application Management.
First, let's note a few interesting statistics and information about the changing ECM environment. According to varying statistics from Gartner, Forrester and AIIM:
74% list "improve the experience of our customers" as top business priority over the next 12 months. VS
Systems with 1000+ users created 60-150 support tickets per month
Success is measured by confident information workers and satisfied customers. VS
Majority of organizzations rely on support calls or incidents to alert them to system problems.
80% say content systems are just as critical to business operations as transactional systems.
but only 32% Have specific and measured SLAs for uptime.
and only 29% Are in a position to monitor trends over time against user loading, content volumes, geographical locations, upgrades
In addition, there is much change in the environment, including cloud, consolidation, user adoption pressures, standardization, expansion, upgrades, governance, Saas, process re-engineering and more.
That's where Reveille comes in:
Preempt issues by notifying IT about problems before your end-users are impacted.
Automate problem isolation and resolution for your business-critical content applications.
Communicate objectively your application service levels to IT and management over time.
Protect content from unwarranted behavior by employees.
Reveille's Approach is:
Comprehensive platform management + real-time user transaction management = Optimized ECM application health
The slideshow shares a product tour of Reveille's ECM application management solutions.
SCM Transformation Challenges and How to Overcome ThemCompuware
If your enterprise is focused on continuously improving quality, velocity and efficiency, you’re going to win against those that aren’t. Driving improvements on the mainframe, and in turn throughout the business, requires the transformation of three things: culture, processes and tools. In other words, changing mindsets, implementing modern practices (Agile, DevOps, CI/CD) and replacing outdated technology.
Mainframe source code management is currently a critical area in need of modernization and should be one of the initial tooling changes organizations make when setting out to improve mainframe systems delivery.
During this session, Compuware specialist Lars-Erik Berglund shares the challenges organizations face with mainframe source code management and what you can do to overcome those.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Benefit: The Report Wizard intercompany matching process was
redesigned to match local currency intercompany balances.
The Intercompany reports were designed to filter and sort
mismatches so that the report was reduced to a single page
if printed.
“The MerlinXL Report Wizard has become a integral tool to all reporting processes out of
HFM, offering standardised reports across the group, drill-down functionality enabling
rapid ad-hoc analysis, plus the user-friendly inter-company reports.
The overall result is that controllers are able to spend more time driving action in
response to reports, than reporting itself.” - Mondi
