Db2 has kept pace with technological and business challenges for over 3 decades. Addressing data friction in modern DevOps processes by offering Db2 Database as a Service, may be the biggest challenge to date. This next frontier will not just be a new or enhanced feature within Db2. It will not just be an extended use of existing tools. For Db2 to be a first-class participant in an organization’s competitive innovation delivery, requires a forward-thinking culture that can adapt Db2 processes and tooling to meet today’s demands to outperform competition.

In this webinar we will explore relevant industry trends and considerations, a customer view, and a comprehensive solution that can start and grow with you and your DevOps journey.
