March FOCUS Friday: Mainframe JDBC: Your Gateway to Cloud-Native Data, Customizing Your WebFOCUS Portal's Look and Feel and Mainframe Dataset Discussion


March 20, 2026 | 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM EDT

Why rely on "luck" when you can have a rock-solid data strategy? This March, we’re ditching the four-leaf clovers and handing you the actual map to the pot of gold at the end of the enterprise rainbow.

Join us for our March Focus Friday Webinar—an action-packed session designed to modernize your mainframe, polish your portal, and master your datasets.

This month, special guest Steven Zirkiev will join Walter and Renee to cover: 

  • Mainframe JDBC: Your Gateway to Cloud-Native Data: In this session, we’ll show you how JDBC adapters stream mainframe data/updates directly to the cloud in real-time. We will break down the entire setup process, giving you a clear roadmap to build a "live view" architecture for your enterprise.
  • Customizing Your WebFOCUS Portal's Look and Feel: Join us for an engaging, hands-on demonstration to learn just a few techniques for customizing your WebFOCUS Portal. Key topics will include how to use menu icons for both pages and folders within the Portal, as well as how to adjust the Portal Banner to display the most recent page refresh date and time.
  • Mainframe Dataset Discussion: Every application consists of various datasets which are needed to run the application. You may have control files, load libraries, sequential datasets, partitioned datasets and/or libraries. In this session we will talk about the various datasets and their use with the ibi FOCUS product.

Don't leave your 2026 data strategy to chance. Secure your spot and turn your "Green" initiatives into gold.
