Beta Systems Software AG

Checking in from Tokyo!

Together with our partner Softplex, we welcomed clients and industry peers to “HOT TOKYO” – our biannual event focused on the future of enterprise IT.

We showcased some of our latest innovations together with Softplex.

Here’s a quick snapshot:
🔹 ANOW! Automate – now with a Japanese UI. We also presented the new z/OS Native Client to enhance orchestration further.
🔹 XINFO NEXT – our IT repository, now web-based for better accessibility and transparency.
🔹 Lighthouse Generation – 400+ new features connecting mainframe and non-mainframe applications.
🔹 Albatross – introduced by SoftPlex Inc – simplifying and standardizing JCL & job management in mainframe environments.

A big thank you from our experts, Walter Teichert, Sebastian Zang, and Bernd Ostendorf, to everyone who joined, asked questions, and shared their insights. And of course, to Softplex for 25 years of strong partnership.

Already excited for what’s next!

Beta Systems at the brand-new IBM Campus in Ehningen.

This year’s IBM Z Symposium took place at IBM’s new campus and we were there on site as a Silver Sponsor with our own booth. Over the two days, we had a lot of interactions with customers, partners, and of course IBM about our solutions for the IBM Z.

Some key topics from the event:
• Application modernization in the mainframe environment, including Agentic AI
• Digital sovereignty in hybrid cloud setups
• Database consolidation, with a strong focus on PostgreSQL on Linux
• Availability challenges and rising costs in x86 environments

We will follow up on these discussions and continue positioning our solutions in the context of modern architectures across on-prem, pure cloud, and hybrid environments.

Also, not something you see every day: a quantum computer, up close. Our team on site had the pleasure to get a guided backstage tour of the IBM Quantum systems at the IBM Campus.

Welcome to the team! 👋

This week, we hosted our Newcomer Days at our headquarters in Berlin to welcoming all our new colleagues.

We’re happy to have you on board!
