Modernization -- Zend's PHP Methodology for i5/OS

More and more organizations are focusing on how to leverage their i5/OS investment in order to better connect with the employees, customers, and partners. Creating web-based applications utilizing both DB2/400 data and green screen applications is one of the quickest means to accomplish this.

Zend and IBM have collaborated to create a solution suite enabling customers to rapidly produce large, complex web-based applications. Not only will companies be able to leverage their business logic and infrastructure on which these applications exist but also being able to easily provide their existing resources with a skill set in-demand in the marketplace.

This webinar articulates a methodology to develop and deploy standards-based PHP applications, and Zend’s solutions to deliver on SLAs for business critical applications. When organizations take on a new technology like PHP, then move down the operational maturity curve, and the goal of these best practices is to re-achieve the same level of maturity within 3-6 months while developing, debugging, deploying and managing these web-enabled applications.
