We migrated all our company business rules to IBM ODM on Cloud which runs ICP. It is being used across the company. This solution addresses the following problems: The Cloud First Strategy at our company is to enhance self-service capabilities to allow end-user autonomy, speed to market, and offer new opportunities for business users. Our department is one of the business solution areas pioneered to implement this initiative to solve our current application issues.

Our current on-premise ODM environment has many defects, contains single points of failure, is a few versions behind, takes too long to upgrade, is too complicated (more customized code), and costly to maintain. We explored different cloud offering options and conducted many proofs-of-concept (POC) tests to find a solution so our team could have less involvement in managing or controlling the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities, except for limited user-specific application configuration settings. Based on our analysis and POC test results, we decided to use IBM ODM on Cloud SaaS offering to support online applications.

IBM Cloud Private is well suited for SaaS models.

We host our AA applications (internal and external) on IBM Private Cloud.

Easy to use and no hassles to maintain datacenters. On-demand capacity to suit your needs.

IBM Cloud could be used both personally and for business. It is easy to set up a personal free account and play around with the lite account.

Our company is currently exploring how to transition into a hybrid cloud environment. We are using IBM Cloud Private in an attempt to identify which applications we can feasibly transition into the cloud and build a long term cloud strategy.

While still in an exploratory phase with IBM Cloud Private, it has shown to be well suited for our web sphere environment. We look forward to using the Docker/Kubernetes options to build out containerized strategies.
