Checking in from Tokyo!
Together with our partner Softplex, we welcomed clients and industry peers to “HOT TOKYO” – our biannual event focused on the future of enterprise IT.
We showcased some of our latest innovations together with Softplex.
Here’s a quick snapshot:
🔹 ANOW! Automate – now with a Japanese UI. We also presented the new z/OS Native Client to enhance orchestration further.
🔹 XINFO NEXT – our IT repository, now web-based for better accessibility and transparency.
🔹 Lighthouse Generation – 400+ new features connecting mainframe and non-mainframe applications.
🔹 Albatross – introduced by SoftPlex Inc – simplifying and standardizing JCL & job management in mainframe environments.
A big thank you from our experts, Walter Teichert, Sebastian Zang, and Bernd Ostendorf, to everyone who joined, asked questions, and shared their insights. And of course, to Softplex for 25 years of strong partnership.
Already excited for what’s next!
