Track Keynote for the Enterprise Modernization Track at the IBM Rational Software Conference 2009
Everyone is well aware that we are in tough economic times right now. However, these difficult times also present opportunities for companies that can quickly adapt to these changing conditions. When you look at what inhibits companies from being as agile as they would like, IT is often cited as a problem area. While there can be many root causes, among the most important are (1) a reliance on fragile legacy applications about which companies have a limited understanding, (2) development staff that are not sufficiently productive, and (3) disconnected team infrastructures that inhibit collaboration and traceability. These problems limit your organization's flexibility. They are costing you money. And they tie up resources that could otherwise focus on new business to bring in more revenue. This track will showcase IBM Rational's Enterprise Modernization solutions that enable organizations to: reduce project risk by managing and extracting value from their application portfolio, exploit new technologies to deliver more flexible business solutions, empower new and existing IT staff to build multi-platform applications, increase productivity with a modern software delivery platform, and improve development efficiency and collaboration by unifying multiple teams.

Several case studies are presented that demonstrate how HP solutions have helped automate tasks, maintain compliance, and improve service delivery for customers in various industries.
Cloud Computing: da curiosidade para casos reaissoudW
The document discusses how cloud computing is becoming an increasingly important technology trend. It summarizes how standardization, automation, and self-service have changed other industries by making them more efficient. Cloud computing relies on these same principles of industrialization to deliver IT services in a standardized, automated, and self-service manner. This enables benefits like lower costs, improved efficiency, and increased flexibility for both IT organizations and business users. The trends driving greater adoption of cloud include factors like virtualization, infrastructure utilization, and cost reduction. Both IT and business users are attracted to cloud computing but for different reasons - IT sees benefits around efficiency and control while business users value the simplified, self-service experience and new capabilities cloud enables.
The document discusses how software drives innovation through systems of systems and the challenges of managing complexity in software delivery. It describes how IBM Rational helps balance investments between new projects and ongoing operations through improved efficiency, such as achieving 95% on-time delivery and fixing 95% of defects before release. The document also outlines how IBM Rational provides application lifecycle management across the software development process through integration, collaboration, and optimization to improve quality, reduce risk and cost, and better align with business priorities.
