lder interface systems such as those using COBOL on IBM AIX, or RPG on IBM i are expensive to replace and often difficult to integrate. See how to quickly leverage these systems in an environment without rewriting or having access to the original source code. Using IBM Rational Host Access Transformation Services (HATS), create REST-based or SOAP-based Web services to call from other systems. Presenters demonstrate a customer solution that was originally written in COBOL on AIX that now uses HATS Web services. Presenters show how using the new Dojo features in HATS, teams can rapidly build a new interface without rip and replace of the old system. HATS and Dojo help dramatically reduce data entry errors, improve customer call times, and make it easier to train personnel to use the applications. The session includes demos.

Author Notes: This is the PowerPoint template for the Innovate 2012 Track Sessions Use this as a GUIDE – feel free to add more charts if needed. This is your presentation – we want to highlight your experiences so that others will benefit from your example. Imagery Avoid using cartoon like clip-art, use photo-art instead. Third party material cannot be used in a presentation without written permission (this includes product and Web page screen shots). Images must be acquired from a ‘royalty-free to use’ source such as: Microsoft or Lotus Symphony Clip Art library http://www.freebyte.com/clipart_images_photos_icons/#freevectorgraphics http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/

Author Notes: This template has been created in PowerPoint 2003 Depending on how the source file was formatted, some slides will not ideally reformat once the template is applied. Therefore, some reformatting will be necessary. Reapply slide layouts: Task Pane / Slide Layout Can be applied thru normal or slide sorter view May have to reapply the layouts more than once in order to take effect Limit altering slide layout attributes on your slide (fonts, positioning, text box anchoring, positioning, etc.), this will create less reformatting rework when switching templates in the future or repurposing this slide in other presentations. Use “shift returns” if text wraps are needed to wrap around imagery. If slide layout customization is needed, it’s advised to break the customized text box from the slide layout by selecting the bounding box of the altered text box and cutting it from the slide, apply either the title slide layout or the blank layout, and then paste the text box back onto the slide. Your custom-formatting of the text layout will then be retained for future repurposing in other presentations. Recolor graphics if needed by using the embedded color palette swatches already in this template. Slide text: Don’t create long sentences or paragraphs on slides. Use concise bulleted list format. Use speaker notes for supporting bulleted content to avoid slides that are too text heavy. Use sentence case capitalization for presentation titles, slide titles, category labels and bullets: Format / Change Case / Sentence Case. Initial capitalization is limited to our products and offerings. When referring to IBM products, use the correct full name, do not abbreviate.
