What Customers Want & Need

• Customers Want– To leverage the Internet to increase customer awareness of the products & services

they sell– To drive additional revenue by leveraging new routes to market like the World Wide Web– To reduce costs by finding new ways to closely integrate their supply chain– To improve customer satisfaction by creating innovative, convenient self service

applications for their customers and business partners– To improve the productivity and focus of their employees in the face of high turnover and

a distributed workforce

• Customers Need to– Ensure that the applications on their system remain functionally rich and solve the

business needs of their company as it competes in a global economy– Ensure that their application architecture is modular and designed to allow their

company to adjust quickly to a changing competitive environment– Ensure that their applications are open and can incorporate new technology in a way

that complement what they already have to solve new business problems

PAGE 6


What is Modernization

• Specific Examples of Modernization– Adding graphical user interfaces for existing applications to improve employee

productivity– Extending existing applications via the Internet for customer self service or supply

chain integration– Deployment of applications to pervasive devices such as cell phones, PDAs and

other wireless devices– Automated inventory tracking and control using Radio Frequency Identification and

bar codes– Creation of callable web services for interoperation with other companies and/or

applications on other platforms within your company

iSeries Developers Road Map

The iSeries Developers Road Map was created to provide guidance to customers and ISVs on specific tools and technologies that can be used to modernize their applications and ensure that their IT resources make them as competitive as possible and help them achieve their application modernization goals.

Developers Roadmap Summary

Improved Developer ProductivityUtilizing powerful, high level desktop tools with graphical interfaces to boost the productivity of iSeries developers.

Enhanced End User ExperienceImproving application presentation with browser, client-server, and/or pervasive technologies to make applications available to as wide an audience as possible in ways that make them more productive in their jobs

Modular Architecture– Separation of user presentation, business logic, and database access to

create reusable components making it easier for developers to integrate applications quickly and respond more effectively to changes in the business environment.

Application Integration– Using new, open architectures and technologies to connect data and

business logic from disparate applications so decision makers can make better, more informed choices with less effort

Business Process Integration– Integrating systems and applications to connect with suppliers and

customers to lower costs and improve customer satisfaction with better service levels
