GSE is a non-profit association of companies, organisations and individuals who are involved in ICT solutions based on IBM architectures.

WHAT WE DO

Facilitate growth for innovation

As the pace of change is increasing, businesses face unprecedented challenges: an increasing range of threats, a volatile economy and global competition. To stay competitive, innovation is key. But, innovation in itself is changing, focusing even more on value for the customer. We believe that successful innovations are achieved based on combined knowledge, both from inside and outside the industry. Today, innovation is co-creation. GSE facilitates both dialogue and cooperation between its members, IBM and its partners through a series of events, working groups and training sessions, both at a national and regional level.

If you've ever been on a 2 a.m. bridge call trying to figure out why a mainframe application slowed to a crawl, you already know the drill: chase down a CICS expert, pull data from four different tools, then argue about whose graph is right.

Join Rocket Software and CIO.com on October 7 for the webinar, How to Gain AI-Powered Insight Across Core Systems. Rocket's CTO for Mainframe, Tim Willging, and President of Data Modernization, Michael Curry, will demonstrate how Rocket EVA helps teams quickly understand and act on mainframe operational data using natural language.

See how Rocket EVA can:
• Identify the root cause of an application slowdown down to the specific line of code
• Prioritize critical issues across an overnight batch run of 84 jobs in under a minute
• Reduce dependence on specialized mainframe expertise

You'll also learn how organizations are addressing the loss of institutional knowledge while improving operational efficiency with AI.

If root cause analysis at 2 a.m. sounds familiar, this one's worth 30 minutes of your time.

Tape isn't old school. It's your air gap. 🎞️

With ransomware threats escalating and compliance requirements tightening, Albee Jhoney and Manu Kuchhal (both IBM, India) made a strong case for tape as a strategic pillar of cyber resilience: secure, durable, cost-effective and built for long-term retention.

They covered the latest advancements in tape technology and IBM Storage Protect, best practices for hybrid environments and storage tiering, and how to design immutable retention strategies. The highlight: a real-world use case where IBM Storage Defender Data Protect archives to IBM Storage Protect via the S3 Glacier API, enabling seamless transitions from operational recovery to long-term tape retention.

🤖 Put Your AI to Work: The Power of Agents on the Mainframe

Khadija Souissi from IBM R&D made the case for agentic AI on IBM Z — and it's a compelling one.

What sets agentic AI apart: it doesn't just generate. It decides, acts and completes tasks — driving the next wave of knowledge worker productivity.

The session explored the value of agentic and generative AI on IBM Z, the application areas where agents make a real difference, and what this means for daily operations on the system and for the business.

AI that works for you. On the platform that runs the world.

Thank you, Khadija, for the inspiring session.

💙 Dear Willi,
This time, you are joining us in Leipzig for the last time — and that is not easy for us to say.
Over the years, you have helped shape these conferences: with your knowledge, your curiosity, and the way you make complex things understandable — and contagious.

We have learned a great deal from you, and laughed even more with you. Thank you for all the talks, the conversations, and the evenings that would not have been the same without you.

For your retirement, we wish you good health, time for everything that had to wait too long, and many wonderful moments. One of them is already waiting — we hope it makes for a very special evening.

All the best, Willi. You will be missed.

☕ Time for a well-deserved break.

Two conferences, one coffee break — and plenty of conversations happening in the hallways. This is where ideas connect, questions get answered and new energy builds for the sessions ahead.

Back soon. ☕

🖥️ Instrumenting the Mainframe: Modern Observability and OpenTelemetry

Ruediger Schulze, IBM R&D, on why observability on IBM Z matters — and how OpenTelemetry is becoming the standard for metrics, logs and traces across mainframe environments.

From hardware-level telemetry via the IBM Z HMC to zero-code instrumentation and AI workload monitoring. Enterprise observability, end to end.

Thank you, Ruediger, for making it tangible.

🖥️ Insights from Different Client Implementations

Khadija Souissi, Wilhelm Mild (IBM R&D) and Vic Cross (IBM Australia) shared real-world client implementation stories — the challenges organizations faced and how they solved them.

The value of this kind of session: concrete takeaways from environments around the world that you can apply to your own. No theory, just practice.

Thank you to all three speakers for the practical and inspiring overview.
