IBM InterConnect 2017 | March 19-23 | MGM Grand & Mandalay Bay | Las Vegas, NV

How time flies!  Last year at InterConnect 2016, I hadn’t planned to speak but, at the last moment, I was added to the DataPower Customer Panel.  However, this is a new year and I’m presenting at two sessions:

The first session will be all about moving from a DataPower implementation to an API Connect implementation using Custom User Policies.  This was a fantastic project that will be of great service to other organizations wanting to do the same thing.  Our framework set us up to have a reusable template for developers to utilize.Because of our successful setup of this API Connect implementation, I anticipate similar projects in the future.

HHA-1572 : Move from IBM DataPower to IBM API Connect with Custom User Policies: Guidance from CUNA
Program : Hybrid
Topic : Hybrid Cloud Integration
Session Type : Breakout Session
Date/Time : Tue, 21-Mar, 04:45 PM-05:30 PM
Location : Mandalay Bay South, Level 2 - Lagoon B
Presenter(s) : Bryon Kataoka, iSOA Group; Dmitry Dikavitski, CUNA Mutual Group

My second presentation describes how we implemented a DataPower framework, which follows the same strategy that iSOA uses, for digital innovation.

HHA-2984 : Quest Diagnostics: From Strategy to Implementation with Our SOA Strategy
Program : Hybrid
Topic : Hybrid Cloud Integration
Session Type : Breakout Session
Date/Time : Wed, 22-Mar, 08:00 AM-08:45 AM
Location : Mandalay Bay South, Level 2 - Lagoon H
Presenter(s) : Bryon Kataoka, iSOA Group; Kamal Syal, Quest Diagnostics

Between speaking sessions, I plan to check out Watson and anything new about API Connect.  In addition, I also hope to meet up with the team I worked with that built the API Connect Certification Test.  That test should be available at InterConnect and I’m happy to say that I’m now certified in API Connect!

Hope to see you at InterConnect.  Stop by my sessions or at our pedestal in the Concourse  (Solution Center)
