Infotel SA (XPAR:INF)

TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Infotel, a leading global enterprise-software vendor and IT consultancy specializing in data management and mainframe solutions, today announced it is once again sponsoring the International Db2 Users Group or IDUG^® NA 2026, October 26-29, in Atlanta, Georgia. This year, IDUG NA will be co-located with IBM TechXchange™. Registered IDUG NA attendees will have full access to both events. IDUG is an independent, non-profit, user-run organization that supports the Db2 user community by providing education, services, regional user groups and annual conferences across the globe.

TechXchange is IBM’s hands‑on conference where developers, engineers, scientists and researchers build real‑world skills across AI applications, data management, hybrid cloud management, infrastructure and security and governance. More information on IBM TechXchange can be found at https://ibm.com/events/techxchange.

Infotel’s Senior Solutions Advisor Colin Oakhill will present a technical educational session on stabilizing dynamic SQL (Structured Query Language) for better Db2 database performance and availability. The educational session, slated for Wednesday, October 28, will address database maintenance complexities created by the rise of unpredictable dynamic SQL in large, regulated enterprises that have mainframes. Oakhill will share insights from more than 45 years of creating and designing successful mainframe software products.

“Dynamic SQL is becoming more prevalent as agile development and hybrid workloads become the norm on a mainframe,” said Oakhill. “But with the flexibility of dynamic SQL also comes responsibility. DBAs must adapt and develop new ways of monitoring and tuning large, dynamic workloads in real-time, across the application lifecycle or face the consequences of Db2 inefficiencies and unpredictable performance.”

At IDUG NA, Infotel will feature the following solutions:
 
Products for IBM Db2:
– InfoUnload: A powerful solution that speeds up the offloading of Db2 data for z/OS. The product reduces I/O while consuming near-zero CPU.
– DB/IQ Product Suite: The suite helps to ensure the quality and performance of SQL, both static and dynamic, optimizing the code. DB/IQ easily integrates into the DevOps methods widely used on the mainframe today.
– iDBA-Online: This product leverages machine learning to help automate and optimize Db2 maintenance, including backups, updating statistics and reorganizing DB2 tables and indexes.
– Application Parallel Testing: APT automates the preparation of the infrastructure for mainframe application testing, enabling isolated test scenarios using Db2, VSAM, and sequential files, all within a single LPAR.
– InfoPak: This product delivers high compression, with low CPU consumption, broad data support, and continuous availability for mainframe environments.
– PackMan: This product optimizes and streamlines Db2 catalog management, identifying and removing obsolete and redundant packages for a cleaner, more efficient catalog.

AI Agents for Automation and Modernization
– Scribe: The AI agent that explains what programs do, ideal for legacy code that might be decades old, such as assembler, COBOL, or Rexx. Scribe is reverse documentation for mainframe applications whose origins may be little known or unknown altogether.
– Phoenix: An AI agent that helps modernize mainframe applications, Phoenix delivers automated code conversion to application stacks with full traceability from source to output, helping reduce app modernization time while lowering enterprise technical debt.
