It’s finally here! IBM Z Day: Special Edition 2025 happened on April 8, 2025 and now you can listen to the replays if you missed it live! This event is a free 1-day enterprise computing virtual conference for anyone and everyone! IBM Z AIOps was at the fore front of this event with 4 sessions!
To help you navigate and find the Z AIOps sessions, here are the sessions (WITH THE LINKS TO THE REPLAYS):
1. Break through operations noise: smarter & faster resolution of incidents. In this session Janvi Badlaney and Juergen Holtz will discuss the new product announcement of IBM Z Operations Unite with Jim Horne from Lowe's Companies. Learn how IBM Z Operations Unite changes how to detect and resolve incidents. Leveraging anomaly detection and intelligent event grouping it drastically reduces noise and allows operations staff and subject matter experts to quickly focus on what matters. Intuitive dashboards with context-sensitive KPIs and topology views accelerates the process of root cause analysis. And the integration of IBM watsonx Assistant for Z provides knowledge and insights from a curated corpus of customer-owned and public IBM Z and IBM z/OS documentation. Join us for an overview and live demo of IBM Z Operations Unite.
2. USAA's Tranformation Journey: unlocking business insights for smarter decisions with IBM Z IntelliMagic Vision. In this session Jean-Marc van der Kolk and John Shaw, from USAA will discuss the latest IntelliMagic technology. In this session, learn how USAA, a financial services company, has unlocked the power of IBM Z IntelliMagic Vision for z/OS to map CICS and IMS transaction activity—such as CPU and transaction volumes—into their 6-level business application structure. See firsthand how they’ve created intuitive, business-friendly displays that provide clear insights at every level of their organization, empowering teams to make informed decisions quickly and effectively. Don’t miss this opportunity to discover how you can transform your system data into actionable business intelligence.
3. Embracing enterprise-wide observability: How TSYS achieved it. Join Chris Walker and Mike Davidson, from TSYS for this session. Modern hybrid applications span multiple environments including cloud, mobile, distributed on-premise and of course, IBM Z. Business success relies on maintaining service levels across these environments by detecting, isolating and resolving incidents fast. Organisations look to enterprise-wide observability solutions, such as IBM Instana, to deliver an end-to-end view. In this session, experts from TSYS and IBM discuss enterprise observability, including Instana, and where OpenTelemetry fits into the picture. We will share insight on why a complete end-to-end view of hybrid applications, including IBM Z, is essential today for everyone in the enterprise from business operations to development to operations, and provide a real use case from TSYS.
4. Enhancing IBM Z Resilience and Compliance with AI-Powered Risk Management. This session is hosted by Andrew Bowker, Ekim Maurer and Nic Wlodek, all from IBM. If you’ve ever suffered an outage/issue due to unapplied IBM z/OS maintenance, this session is for you! IBM Concert gives you clear visibility into what fixes (such as HiPERs, PEs, and PTFs) have not been applied – helping you avoid outages and more effectively manage operational risks. Join us for a product demo and explore how this solution benefits mainframe executives, application owners, and mainframe operations roles driving greater value across infrastructure and application teams. We’ll also briefly share 3 other key integrations that improve risk management, application performance,certificate compliance, and application change troubleshooting.
Let’s make the above IBM Z AIOps sessions be virtually standing room only!
