David Corbett, Certified MQ Solution Designer and MQ
Administrator, USBank (Retired)
Dave discusses how IBM MQ facilitates real-time transmission of data across different OS platforms, but this creates issues in tracking down problems as the data has to traverse different systems with varying architectures and administered by personnel with different skill sets, leading to a lack of collaboration and a slower resolution of issues. Learn some tips to navigate these challenges.

Arnold Shoon, Solutions Director at TxMQ
The shift from on-premises supported large software systems to the cloud, containers, and the API economy has challenged slow-moving organizations to adopt new methodologies like agile integration and DevOps to stay competitive, making it difficult for heavily invested Integration & Operations teams with rigid architectures such as SOA to find the right tools and frameworks to modernize. Arnold discusses the importance of APIs, benefits of utilizing more agile development, integration and deployment methods, and available tools for transitioning into the API Economy.
