Earlier this summer, IBM launched WebSphere Application Server 9, their latest innovation enabling developers to accelerate application development and scalability. The easy-to-use platform has numerous capabilities that serve the retail, finance, and healthcare sectors, particularly for microservices which help organizations attain agility and nimbleness.
With the cloud being a major driving force behind digital disruption and both the Fall shopping season and New Year before us, organizations such as yours are no doubt planning ahead around your technology initiatives. Whether its handling increased customer traffic or creating customer experiences, solving these problems won’t be easy.
Our latest infographic covers the paths that technology leaders such as yourself can follow as you begin to chart your path for the year ahead with WebSphere Application 9 at the helm:
Create
The baseline of leveraging IBM’s WebSphere Application Server 9 is to innovate through the development of APIs and services that span enterprise boundaries. In recent months, we’ve seen the popularity of APIs rise due to accelerated time to value with broader reach and capabilities. As your applications scale towards mass adoption, it’s important to connect them to the right complementary resources that add greater value.
Connect
Second is to connect applications, processes, and data that are secure and scalable. One of the benefits of hybrid cloud is the combination of legacy infrastructure and on-premises hardware providing the perfect transition into complete cloud deployments. As you invest in WebSphere Application Server 9, you’ll notice the ability to extend the value of existing applications without the pain of application migration. Additionally, you’ll also discover new uses for data to better serve your customer base.
Optimize
Finally you’ll have the ability to optimize and take advantage of new infrastructure for high availability, flexibility, and security. Since you’re deploying into the cloud, you’ll also have the ability to take advantage of pay-as-you-go, flexible, and agile characteristics that will delight your engineers and your accountants. With more money in the bank, you’ll be able to look towards other paths to innovation.
