Your Business. No Barriers. Summer Webcast Series
System i may be the most underrated, commonly used platform today. It can be much more than a legacy system. This online seminar covers how to use it as a central part of any business intelligence (BI) or integration initiative and a mainstream part of modern SOA architectures.
After a brief introduction to the technology from Information Builders Vice President Jake Freivald, you'll hear from J. Ed Smith, the chief information director of Utz Quality Foods, Inc. He will describe how Utz built a Web reporting system on the System i platform. The system gives managers and employees near real-time insight into inventory levels throughout their distribution network, and created a tremendous competitive advantage over other manufacturers who rely on old, sometimes stale data to run their businesses.
Following the presentation will be a live Q&A session with the speakers.
