IBM Software Group | EGL Simplify Innovation IBM Software Group EGL Simplify Innovation KBC Unify application dev across platforms and transaction managers Challenge: § High costs and low responsiveness to business: redundancy and duplication across IT groups, fragmentation of languages and tools Solution: § Leverage EGL to achieve the Cross-System components development, eliminate skills silos among their dispersed development teams, eliminate various platform specific languages and tools Results: § Enable component based architecture. Shift to component based architecture, product factories and multi channel. § Created interchangeable developers. Shift from monolithic (3270) applications to browser based and open systems. Transform 600 mainframe developers to multi platform developers (Unix, mainframe, WAS, IMS). “… We want to avoid the ‘skill silos, ’ what we really need is a large group of general developers who should not worry about target platforms and focus on developing business components, and only a small number of technology specialists, so that we can swiftly allocate general developers to upcoming business needs… EGL is helping us achieve this goal…” - Lieven Gouwy, IT Architect, KBC, Redmonk Podcast 19
