IBM i DevOps TechTalk #25
DISCOVER – PART 2
by the experts at ARCAD
In this episode, Ray Bernardi welcomes Alan Ashley to explore how Discover is transforming the way teams understand and manage complex applications. Decades of development have left organizations with massive, intricate systems that are difficult to analyze and modernize. Discover changes that — using AI-powered automation to map, document, and visualize every dependency within your applications.
Listeners will learn how Discover’s conversational AI, automated functional mapping, and deep database analysis make it easy for developers, business analysts, and IT leaders to explore their systems in natural language, identify obsolete or redundant components, and gain a complete understanding of data flows.
With Discover, ARCAD brings clarity to complexity — empowering teams to modernize faster, improve governance, and make smarter decisions about their application landscape.
