Have you ever wondered how a contactless payment works? Or how digital money actually moves between banks? Integration is how mainframes seamlessly communicate with other environments, without requiring extensive effort or hard coding. This session will explore how events can trigger application notifications, how APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) allow different businesses to communicate, and how messages ensure transactional consistency across multiple systems. By leveraging these integration techniques, organisations can enhance operational efficiency, improve real-time data availability, and ensure a cohesive IT environment. This session is designed for newcomers to the IBM Z platform, providing nuggets of information in a straightforward and fun introduction to mainframe integration concepts, patterns and practices.
