The third Adriatic Mainframe Conference was held in Dubrovnik from November 6-8th.
The conference gathered mainframe users from Serbia, Slovenia, and Croatia, and it was focused on users' realistic experiences with new projects on the mainframe platform as well as mainframe's positioning in the modern IT system.
Numerous interesting presentations on topics dealing with real, live projects of leading companies in the region (APIS IT, FINA, ZABA, Postal Savings Bank of Serbia) on the mainframe platform illustrated how this computer still today - as well as throughout the last 47 years - successfully completes the most demanding information jobs.
The Adriatic Conference provided a great opportunity for users to share their experiences and discuss problems they face in their everyday work. The presentation on DB2 for z/OS 10 beta program at ZABA and the presentation on Java on z/OS, given by Mile Pekić from the Postal Savings Bank of Serbia, were especially interesting. Ivan Pozderović's inspiring presentation on IBM Security zSecure suite V1.13 beta program at APIS IT showed that the mainframe platform has even awakened the interest of younger generations. CROZ's Dražen Spalatin represented mainframe's older generation by speaking about the most common problems that occur during z/OS installation and maintenance.
This was the third regional mainframe users' conference which once again demonstrated that there is still a lot to say about mainframe and that the networking, sharing of experiences and collaboration amongst mainframe users in the region is always welcome.
