Success story with Danske Bank
About Danske Bank
 Established in 1871, Danske Bank is a Nordic
universal bank. In its core markets of Denmark,
Norway, Sweden and Finland, it serves all types
of customer, from personal customers and
businesses to large institutional clients. In total,
the bank has 3.5 million customers, 2.2 million of
whom use e-banking, and operates a network of
300 branches across eight countries. Danske
Bank has 19,000 full-time employees and
continues to grow both organically and through
mergers and acquisitions.
 Driving faster innovation in banking and
customer services with IBM z Systems – Service
innovation is a major driver of competitive
differentiation in banking. To maintain first-mover
advantage and win market share, Danske Bank
needed the ability to develop and test software
faster.
 Read the full story.
Why choose IBM ADFz?
 Enhances visibility of performance and
availability in development landscapes
 Accelerates z Systems development
contributing to first-mover advantage for the bank
 Simplifies development with standards-based
graphical environment
 ADFz APIs strengthen bank’s API strategy –
using an enterprise service bus to transform
internal capabilities by setting up more APIs to

says Henrik Hartvig Jensen, Lead Software Engineer
and Technical Architect
“We continue to work closely with the IBM labs,
in particular to inspire them to incorporate our
home-grown functionality into the IBM tools. It’s
a great two-way relationship, and we appreciate
the cooperation.” Jesper Hollitsch Poulsen, Senior
Development Manager

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. – Improves efficiency and responsiveness
“We can be more responsive to the business, and
we’ve gained that agility we need to keep up with
changing regulations.”
—Jeff Blackadar, application development manager
The transformation: Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) was
at risk of losing talent because many of the programmers supporting the
organization’s flagship COBOL application were approaching retirement.
To modernize its development environment, the company implemented
IBM® Rational® Developer for z® Systems software, which helps
programmers maintain COBOL code in an environment that looks similar
to Microsoft .NET or Java environments.
Increases efficiency
by supporting hybrid developers
who can work across different
application platforms
Helps programmers
without extensive COBOL experience
maintain COBOL code in a familiar
development environment
Cut down a backlog of work
from years to less than six months

IBM Debug for z Systems V14.0
Success story with the next generation z/OS debugger
 An European financial services company uses a large number of
Enterprise PL/I batch programs to process data stored in DB2.
 With expected increase of data to process in coming years, it was
evident that their batch applications will eventually run out of
virtual storage in near future.
 The customer approached IBM to develop a solution which
enables exploitation of 64-bit virtual storage from their Enterprise
PL/I applications.
 Given the importance of suitable development tools, the customer
approached IBM to ensure development tools are enhanced
(specifically Debug Tool for z/OS as the priority) to enable
debugging of their 64-bit applications.
 In collaboration with the customer, IBM z/OS debugger team
delivered a solution which satisfies the customer’s requirements.
