BMO+Mid-Range+IBM on the main stage to discuss migrating to IBM CLOUD
On June 21st, 2023, on the 35th anniversary of the #ibmi platform, I had the honour to represent Mid-Range Computer Group Inc. on the main stage at #think2023 with Bradley Hadfield from 满地可银行 and Kate Woolley from IBM .
The session focused on the deep partnership between all three parties. How the partnership was leveraged to bring the IBMi power workloads to the #ibmcloud
To ensure success of the engagement all parties focused on the end state of getting the workloads to the IBM cloud. It was recognized early that the path to get the destination may shift, but the destination remained the same. All parties had to shift from conventional thinking within their own organizations to ensure all issues were addressed quickly, effectively, safely, pragmatically and without deviating from the end goal.
Leadership was evident not only from the executive sponsors but from all the stakeholders at all levels of engagement. Everyone was encouraged to find opportunities not just issues. The environment was one of 'Improvise, Adapt and Overcome" while maintaining full compliance across all domains.
All team members were encouraged to bring ideas forward in an open and safe environment. As stated by all parties during the keynote discussion, the focus was on the end-state with a complete understanding the journey but have some twists and turns.
From my perspective, watching the teams throughout the engagement explore the brave new world of the IBM Cloud was very rewarding. All the stakeholders were fully engaged to success. To quote Brad, "it was a three legged stool of BMO, Mid-Range and IBM" from start to finish.
