Digital transformation disrupts all markets
and can be a competitive advantage for
new entries and/OR incumbents
Retailers

How can you
address your
organization’s
need to Digitally
Transform?
Option 1:
Keep the status quo
(falling behind)
Option 2:
Rearchitect your entire
infrastructure
(high risk, low reward,
opportunity costs)
Option 3:
Leverage your assets on
IBM Z to accelerate your
digital transformation

Mainframes process roughly
30 billion business
transactions per day,
including most major credit
card transactions and stock
trades, and money
transfers.
47% of executives say
Mainframe will grow &
attract new workloads
It is estimated that 80% of
the world’s corporate data
resides or originates on
mainframes.
91% of CIOs surveyed said that new customer-facing applications are
accessing the mainframe. They also said that …55% of all enterprise
applications need the mainframe to complete transactions and 89%
said mainframe workloads are increasing and becoming more varied.

Mainframe Valuation
A recent IDC study determined that organizations pursuing a
“connected mainframe” strategy are engaged in two IT
infrastructure initiatives that drive business innovation …
Ongoing
modernization
Application
integration

Business-oriented Benefits
Study participants reported
significant financial and business-
oriented benefits.
The IDC study’s analysis assessed the
annual value for study participants at an
average of $181,900 per application
($56MM per organization) per year, over
five years.
Quick Return on Investment
Connected mainframe strategy adopters
invested an average of $46MM in new
hardware, software
and tools to realize
5-year discounted benefits of $201MM
per organization, and a
5-year ROI of 300% with an average
break-even period of 10 months.

Problem GSI needs offer to the customer within one month
a roadmap to modernize the customer’s legacy application
Win in less than 4 weeks this System Integrator was able,
with the help of ADDI, to make the assessment and got the
opportunity for the next step of the engagement
Result is that this customer also embraced ADDI in their
development process
“We finished an assessment in 4 weeks and were able to
deliver insight application reports to the clients board of
directors with ADDI which was a key component of the
delivery of the assessment. The work we did was much
appreciated by the client, they were specifically impressed
by the amount of valuable informaton we discovered in
this short period of time”

Wüstenrot
Business challenge
Eager to meet customer needs for convenient digital services, Wüstenrot wanted to
remove the barriers preventing its developers from creating cool new web and
mobile apps powered by the mainframe.
Transformation
Wüstenrot worked with IBM to implement IBM® z/OS® Connect Enterprise Edition in
combination with innovative Container Pricing for IBM Z® to leverage mainframe
applications and data via RESTful APIs.
Solution
components
• IBM® z13s®
• IBM z/OS®
• IBM z/OS Connect
Enterprise Edition
• Container Pricing for
IBM Z®
Business benefits:
• Enables
developers to build modern APIs using business
systems and data on the mainframe
• Boosts
the agility of application development,
cutting time-to-market for new services
• Lowers
the cost of running test and development
workloads on the mainframe substantially
“ This new competitive pricing option was a game-changer for us and we are very happy with
this cost-efficient offering.”
—Walter Svoboda, CEO, Wüstenrot Datenservice GmbH
Cutting dev costs with Z Container Pricing while serving a
new generation of customers with RESTful APIs
Wüstenrot is a leading financial services provider based in Salzburg, Austria. For more
than 90 years, the group has delivered mutual savings and insurance services to
Austrians. In recent years, Wüstenrot has expanded operations to Slovakia, Slovenia,
Hungary and Croatia. Today, the group serves over
2.2 million customers across Central and Eastern Europe.
Wüstenrot Datenservice GmbH provides IT services throughout the Wüstenrot group

Allstate’s Key factors for Software Delivery modernization
Move from:
• Traditional ‘green screen’ COBOL/PL1, CICS, Assembler, Db2 and IMS
• Utilized Toolbox (built on top of CA Endeavor) and SCLM for
source code management
• Homegrown deployment process – Allstate Program Transmittal
Facility ‘APTF’
• Software installed by production control team
• Manual coordination with dependent distributed-based application changes
16

Focused on DevOps efficiencies …
Through modern tools and development environments, development
efficiency is improved, aspects of the lifecycle are automated, steps within the lifecycle
shrink and application quality is upgraded
Started with:
• IBM Developer for Z systems for
Integrated desktop (IDz)
• Modern SCM with Rational Team
Concert (RTC)
• Collaboration and Workflow (RTC)
17

• Leadership support
• Getting developers early and frequent access to IDz and RTC; choosing not to install ISPF/’green screen’ support
for RTC
• A ‘lean startup’ mentality! Clear vision of the ‘big picture’, clear communication of the direction of travel and
constant encouragement and bench marking against peers
• A Product Mindset – experimenting and testing assumptions along with a continuous feedback loop from end
users of what’s working well and more importantly what’s not
• Building an MVP and then improving by simplifying it, removing streams we found we didn’t need
• Role-based training
• Single Points of Contact (SPOCs)
• IBM solutions to drive the efficiencies of process change
What’s working at Allstate
18

Current status @ Allstate
• Completed 16 months of successful releases with Rational Team Concert while increasing velocity
• All Billing developers are using IDz with Data Studio, Beyond Compare and other plugins installed
• Remaining Allstate mainframe teams are moving to RTC this year (2018)
• Billing is building out CI/CD pipelines to deliver mainframe code to Sonarqube for static code analysis
• Piloting IBM ADDI to gain better application and data insight across the development cycle

Evolution of our Pricing Models
Full Capacity Sub-Capacity (R4HA) Container Pricing
Timeframe ~1970 – 1993+ 1993 to 2017+ ~2017 to ~2030?
Construct purpose • Simple way to charge for zSW • Designed as ‘pseudo full-cap’
• Allowed upfront HW purchase, but
staggered software cost growth
• Greatly simplified software pricing
• Flexible deployment options
• Competitive economics that are
directly relevant to those solutions.
Construct Limitations • As hardware got bigger, software
costs prevented customers
purchasing bigger, newer hardware
• Multiple incremental additions and
variations have this model complex.
• Can inhibit growth and encourage
bad technical practices as clients
optimize for R4HA

v The method of measuring
the scope of a workload for
pricing
v The pricing and billing
infrastructure the Solution
v It is the solution that runs
isolated inside the
container that is priced
v Prices are specific to
