IBM i modernisation, mobilisation and security: Proximity events

Avnet offices

On Tuesday 25th November, a full-days seminar will focus on developing, modernising and mobilising your IBM i. Presenters from BCD Software and Quadrant (Fresche Solutions) and Proximity will provide details of the latest functionality and features of tools such as Presto, WebSmart and Formtastic.

You will have the opportunity to hear how PHP and Zend on the IBM i can be used to rapidly develop desktop and mobile web-based applications using the latest version of WebSmart PHP. We will also introduce Presto Open Access and look at how Formtastic can create custom-designed forms, cheques and bar code labels.

There will also be a chance to hear about Business i, a new solution from Quadrant which provides a powerful business intelligence tool for your IBM i.

You can also take part in practical, hands-on workshops for developing web applications on your IBM i using WebSmart PHP, Presto and Zend.

On Wednesday 26th November, attention switches to a half-day seminar focusing on protecting your organisation from insider threats, cyber-attacks and external security threats in conjunction with Raz-Lee Security, a leading international provider of security, auditing and compliance (SOX, PCI, HIPAA, etc.) solutions.

Again, there will be practical, hands-on workshops focused on the iSecurity suite of products for protecting your IBM i environment.

Attendees at both events will receive an Android tablet, which can be used during the hands-on workshops.

Avnet’s offices can be found at The Capitol Building, Oldbury, Bracknell, RG12 8FZ.
