Integrating Open Source on IBM i: Advanced Topics and Optimization
When your business grows, and you need speed and scalability, how do you find the best mix of open source technology and the integrated capabilities of IBM i? Learn from our years of experience in how to optimize scalability and performance with open source and traditional IBM i programs and capabilities (RPG, COBOL, Db2 etc). Impress your company with the most efficient techniques while avoiding rookie mistakes. 

Alan Seiden helps organizations enrich their IBM i applications with APIs, open source technologies, Db2 for i, and RPG business logic. He and his team provide large and small IT teams with strategic advice, hands-on development, and support. Recognized as an IBM Champion, Alan cultivates a strong, resilient IBM i community by fostering new talent for IBM i as well as new open source options.
He mentors the next generation in extending the capabilities of the IBM i platform with their open source skills. He has also led the adoption of modern PHP with Seiden’s PHP+ and Smart Support; co-developed the popular PHP Toolkit with IBM; and was the first to offer full-stack support for PHP, Python, and Node.js on IBM i.
An award-winning speaker, Alan has been called “the performance guru of PHP on IBM i.” He shares his expertise regularly through his blog as well as at conferences and user groups such as COMMON PowerUp, MAGiC, the Northeast User Groups Conference, OCEAN, WMCPA, and COMMON Europe.
In his spare time, Alan plays the trombone and practices the Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education.
