Avoid the IT War Room: Integrate Mainframe and IBM i into ServiceNowPrecisely
In today’s increasingly digital world, the stakes are higher than ever before for IT to support mission-critical business services 24x7x365. At the same time, the IT landscape is more complex, and staff can be dispersed across the country – or around the world.
Downtime is not an option – but how do you avoid it? As they say, the best defense is a good offense. And that’s what ServiceNow delivers. ServiceNow Event Management uses machine-learning driven AI Ops to dramatically reduce the time it takes to identify and resolve problems by providing a single source of truth and cutting through the noise.
But, if you still rely on siloed tools to monitor your mainframe and IBM i systems, you’ll find yourself back in the IT war room when things go wrong – wasting valuable time assembling the team and piecing together disconnected views just to understand the root cause – let alone fix it.
With Precisely Ironstream, you can support business service health with dramatically lower mean-time-to-resolution by seamlessly integrating these legacy IBM systems into your ServiceNow Event Management dashboards. Join our webcast as we discuss:
- Benefits of ServiceNow Event Management
- Challenges integrating legacy systems into ServiceNow
- How Ironstream integrates mainframe and IBM i machine data into ServiceNow Event Management

Emergency Alert - Why do your CEO’s Microsoft Teams Calls Keep Droppingpanagenda
Link to recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/emergency-alert-why-do-your-ceos-microsoft-teams-calls-keep-dropping/
A webinar by Ben Menesi, Doug Davis & Carl Baumann
Microsoft Teams has become the default Telecom System at many enterprise organizations. That means the call quality from Teams must be reliable and consistent, especially for executives. And troubleshooting issues needs to be fast and efficient. When problems arise, you need to react quickly, analyze all the performance data, find the root cause, and get it fixed!
However, without the detailed telemetry data to research the true cause, reported call quality issues continue unchecked by most IT groups. This is painfully true for remote workers where IT has visibility gaps for home networks, internet service providers (ISPs), and endpoint computer performance. Having the viewpoint from the end-user digital experience is of utmost importance when trying to find the root cause for Teams call quality issues. What processes and applications were running on the endpoint computer and how was the performance from the home office network and ISP (i.e., Dropped Packets, Hop Count, Round-Trip Times, Peering Distance)?
Enterprise organizations need a holistic monitoring tool that provides end-to-end visibility into the employee experience, regardless of where they are working. In this webinar, you will receive an introduction to OfficeExpert Endpoint Performance Monitoring (EPM). This new SaaS solution provides data analytics for Microsoft 365 performance and availability from the end-user perspective. If you want to know the truth about your Teams call quality experience, then please join us to see how actionable insights can speed troubleshooting and help remediate issues before they become escalations from an executive.
What you will learn
- Fast troubleshooting for call quality issue resolution
- Proactive monitoring for home office network performance
- Identify slow ISP’s causing poor call quality for remote users
- Detailed analytics for end-point computers (CPU, memory usage, background processes, etc.)

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!
