Modernizing decades-old enterprise applications is no longer a multi-year, resource-heavy effort. In this session, we explore how IBM Bob, an AI-powered SDLC partner, transforms application modernization into a streamlined, automated, and scalable process. Going beyond traditional code assistants, Bob analyzes entire codebases, generates modernization strategies, and validates outcomes with built-in governance and testing. We walk through a full modernization journey. Gain insights into how an agentic AI approach can reduce modernization timelines from months to days, improve code quality, and drive enterprise transformation at scale.

Enterprise content is one of the most valuable and most underutilized assets organizations own. Managing it at scale while extracting the intelligence locked inside it has always been the challenge—critical decisions, institutional knowledge, and hard-won context remain buried and inaccessible. In a world where AI agents can reason and act at speed, that content becomes a powerful competitive foundation. IBM Content Cortex makes this possible by transforming your existing estate into a governed AI foundation that doesn't just manage documents but activates the intelligence inside them, without migration or new infrastructure. In this session, explore how domain-specific agents surface insights, eliminate manual tasks, and keep AI within defined boundaries, and unlock early access to IBM Content Cortex.

What happens when your enterprise has dozens—or hundreds—of AI agents running across different platforms? In this session, we’ll show how watsonx Orchestrate provides a unified control plane to manage it all. See how to onboard agents from different frameworks, observe them in real time, and evaluate performance—all from a single interface. Walk away with a clear view of how to scale AI safely and efficiently across your organization.

IBM Z applications are complex, mission-critical, and often involve millions of lines of code, requiring platform-awareness and a deep understanding of Z technologies. As the next evolution of watsonx Code Assistant for Z, IBM Bob’s Premium Package for Z delivers these capabilities by bringing agentic AI and deep system expertise to IBM Z application modernization. This session shows how teams can analyze, develop, and evolve complex applications with awareness of dependencies, data, and business logic. By embedding AI-driven mainframe expertise and application metadata into developer workflows, organizations can scale modernization, reduce risk, and accelerate delivery. This session highlights how Bob and the Premium Package for Z modernizes mission-critical systems with confidence while connecting Z systems to enterprise AI and hybrid cloud environments.

AI adoption inside large organizations is accelerating faster than the infrastructure designed to support it. The result is fragmented tooling, unpredictable spend, and AI initiatives operating in silos. In this session, learn how the AI agentic control plane in IBM watsonx Orchestrate simplifies multi-vendor complexity, enables control enforcement and guardrails, and gives teams a foundation to scale.
