PiRT 2023

Power i Round Table 2023

PiRT 2023 was held at E. Weber & Cie AG (Webstar) in Dielsdorf. The event brought together IT decision-makers and IBM i users to share practical experiences and discuss current developments.

Focus on Practical Application & Exchange

PiRT is all about sharing real-world experiences. This edition was a perfect reflection of that. The focus was on practical insights from day-to-day work and technical discussions about IBM i, without any sales pitch.

Fascinating insights from the host

Following the opening remarks, participants were given a company overview of Webstar as well as practical insights into modern development approaches, such as alternatives to the traditional green screen. Another agenda item focused on the use of SAP S/4HANA on IBM Power, which opened up new perspectives on modern system landscapes.

A Look into the Future of IBM i

In addition to concrete real-world examples, the session also provided an outlook on the future development of IBM i. This blend of the present and the future offered participants valuable insights for their own IT strategies.

Business Management & Networking

A particular highlight was the tour of Webstar, during which participants gained exclusive insights into the company’s processes and infrastructure. The professional exchange continued during the reception that followed in a relaxed atmosphere, with plenty of opportunity for discussion, making new contacts, and networking.

Conclusion

PiRT #11 clearly demonstrated just how valuable direct communication within the IBM i community is.

Key Takeaways:

  • Practical insights provide real value
  • Modern technologies are expanding traditional IBM i environments
  • Personal interaction remains a key factor for success

We would like to thank all participants and are already looking forward to the next edition of PiRT.
