There has been a lot of excitement about Marianne Bellotti's book "Kill It With Fire: Manage Aging Computer Systems (and Future Proof Modern Ones)".
Marianne's unique background has led her to study how culture influences the implementation and development of software.
With her significant experience in restoring old systems to operational excellence, she has a well-informed perspective on how to modernize systems incorporating the best of mainframes and newer technologies.
She argues that modernization should always start with business objectives and wherever possible, leverage the existing investment in technologies and applications.
In this session, Misty Decker will highlight the key points in the book with a special focus on the unique perspectives not usually seen elsewhere.
Through 30 years, 2 companies and 8 career changes, two things have remained constant in Misty Decker’s career: mainframes and a passion for helping people.

She currently is a Product Marketing Director at Micro Focus helping companies learn how to modernize their existing mainframe applications with concepts such as DevOps, microservices and cloud.
