IBA Group’s DevOps Team Presents at SHARE Fort Worth

pmamantau — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 13:43:09 +0000

IBA Group’s DevOps Team Presents at SHARE Fort Worth

The SHARE conference, one of the major events in the mainframe industry, took place in Fort Worth from February 23 to February 28. Our DevOps team were among 1,300 participants who gathered to educate, share, and connect. The conference featured 500+ technical sessions and hands-on labs on enterprise IT hot topics such as security, open source, DevOps, and cloud.

Presentations

Our team gave two presentations at the conference. IBA Group’s presentation DevOps for DevOps aimed to show that DevOps engineers, just like other developers, feel the need to have VCS for their processes, automatic build, and auto testing for CI/CD pipelines. It is especially true for the mainframe, where DevOps involves a great deal of custom code. The presentation was well received. It was nice to get the feedback not only inside the SHARE network but also on LinkedIn and Twitter.

IBA group told about technical and cultural solutions for building DevOps on the mainframe in the presentation zDevOps: What We Do, How We Do on February 25. Many last year’s participants were looking forward to find out about the project progress in the past four months.

Hot Topics

This year’s hot topics were DevOps and open source. New technologies open up the mainframe to the new generation of developers. With automation and DevOps, Devs and Ops start working as one team. As a result, you have better visibility, more frequent releases, and happier customers.

Hybrid cloud is another popular technology that makes the mainframe more affordable while maintaining the same security level.

The quick-paced development of open source projects like Zowe was at the center of attendees’ interest.

Sessions

Our team focused on DevOps and test automation sessions. The presentation about Galasa framework Solve Your DevOps Pipeline Headaches With an Open Source Framework for Test Automation by William Yates from IBM UK Laboratories was a real blast. IBM developed the framework released in open source git-repository. Galasa makes the mainframe more accessible to non-mainframers. It is an excellent opportunity for young developers to play with the mainframe outside the native environment. Extensible nature and open source make it easy to integrate with other testing tools of your choice. At the moment, the team are discussing the applicability of the framework to their projects.

Another interesting session was from Rosalind Radcliffe and Suman Gopinath from IBM, titled True Unit Testing for z/OS Application. They were talking about the importance of unit testing at lower levels on developers’ side. The more unit tests you have, the less tests you will need at further levels. ZUnit is an automated testing tool delivered in IBM Developer for z/OS. With time, its scope will widen beyond Cobol and CICS and it will help attract more users.

The presentation Lean Mean Machine – Keeping the Lights on for Agile/DevOps by Jeremy Hamilton focused on how DevOps engineers should define and deliver the best value to the customer. For this purpose, Dev and Ops teams, and the customer need to keep close contact to level the expectations and desired outcomes on the way.

Expertise

The mainframe lies at the very core of the IBA Group’s expertise and the mainframe journey dates back to 1993 when the company was founded as an IBM partner. IBA Group has special expertise in mainframe software development, both system and applied, and in legacy systems migration. More than 400 professionals are engaged in mainframe system and application development and support. Currently, IBA is a Platinum Business Partner of IBM.

IBA Group Celebrates 30 Years

pmamantau — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 11:34:46 +0000

IBA Group, an alliance of IT companies with offices in 15 countries and development centers in nine countries, celebrates its 30^th anniversary.

IBA Group is strong with its traditions that are rooted in the times of first IBM mainframes. In the 1980s, IBM representatives came to Minsk, the Belarusian capital, to tap the potential of local developers who were experts in the IBM mainframe architecture. As a result, the International Business Alliance (IBA JV) was founded in 1993. Eventually, IBM withdrew as a part owner of IBA and IBA launched a diversification strategy to expand the client base, service offering, and technology expertise, as well as to explore new markets. The strategy proved to be viable and effective.

In 1998, IBA established IBA USA to bring company’s services closer to US customers. Today, IBA USA is in charge of delivering the IBA expertise to the US customers.

In 2005, the company relocated its headquarters to Prague, Czech Republic, and IBA was transformed into IBA Group.

At present, the company’s portfolio comprises an array of IT services and solutions. IBA Group’s expertise ranges from mainframe software, data management, and SAP to enterprise solutions, cloud technologies, and RPA and artificial intelligence.

Sergei ZhmakoEVP & Managing Director at IBA USA

IBA Group is proud to celebrate its 30th anniversary of providing exceptional IT services to US customers. At the heart of IBA Group’s success is the understanding that business is first and foremost about relationships between people. To that end, we have always strived to build long-term partnerships with our customers, celebrating with them in good times and being flexible and supportive in bad times. IBA Group remains committed to providing friendly and personalized boutique services to every customer, no matter their size. This approach has allowed our employees to establish many long lasting friendships with customer employees over the years. We look forward to continuing to serve our clients with the same dedication, expertise, and passion in the years to come. We are grateful to our customers for their trust and loyalty, and we remain committed to building strong and enduring relationships with our partners in the USA and around the world.

Sergei LevteevIBA Group Chairman & CEO

This year marks the 30th anniversary of IBA Group and it is truly a milestone for the company. We survived and became even stronger after the dot-com bubble of 2001-2002, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recent political and economic turmoil. We are proud to have grown to where we are today. We achieved our goals through dedication of our employees, and by building trust and confidence with our customers. We remain true to our traditions. We keep supporting our employees and remain loyal to our customers. We look forward to the next ten years of co-creating a SMART future – sustainable, multifaceted, automated, reliable, and trusted.

A Bulwark in the Storm

The article quotes Debi Hamill, IAOP CEO, as saying: “Outsourcing goes beyond merely contracting for services. These are collaborative partnerships that are now an integral piece of the success strategy for nearly every organization in the world. Outsourcing gives companies access to untapped labor pools and underserved communities, which makes good sense both from a business and social impact standpoint. Additionally, the accelerated adoption of digital technologies—while leaving many companies scrambling—has been an area of strength for outsourcing.”

IBA Group’s Transport Solutions Break New Ground

pmamantau — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 11:34:44 +0000

IBA Group’s solutions for public transport came under the limelight this month. MasterCard re-certified IBA validators and IBA Fare Collection System became a finalist in the Transport Ticketing Awards.

MasterCard Re-Certifies IBA Validators

MasterCard conducted the initial certification of IBA validators during the COVID-19 pandemic. In October 2020, MasterCard experts from Great Britain conducted a detailed remote analysis of validator production, quality control, and management processes, and prepared their recommendations for improvement.

In late May 2022, the MasterCard International Payment System conducted another TQM compliance audit and re-certified the validators.

IBA Group provides a complete development and production cycle for the validator hardware and software, and the TQM certificate issued by MasterCard confirms the high quality of the public transport terminal manufactured by IBA Group.

IBA AFC Qualifies for Transport Ticketing Awards Finals

A panel of judges made up of industry-renowned executives selected IBA Group as a finalist for the tenth Transport Ticketing Awards in the Ticketing Technology of the Year category. Transport Ticketing Awards are part of the Transport Ticketing Global, the world’s largest public transport event for smart ticketing & mobility professionals. In 2020, the forum gathered more than 1,000 smart ticketing and mobility professionals. After two years away, the conference is back to explore the latest technological innovations and set the agenda for the year ahead.

For the contest, IBA Group submitted its Automated Fare Collection (AFC) solution implemented in public transport in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova. IBA Group completed the project in record time in cooperation with Visa, Victoriabank, the Chisinau Municipal Council, and local carriers.

The IBA Group’s tapXphone technology lies at the core of the solution. To use tapXphone, commuters do not need to download any applications, while conductors and fare inspectors do not need POS. They can use their smartphones to accept bankcard payments.
