    I would recommend for understanding your Mainframe components not for the GenAI piece involved from just my experience. The explanations were not up to the quality we wanted but its deterministic side provided a lot of value for different members of my team. The visuals would be great. I am not sure where it currently stands

    Piper the AI SDR is perfect for a global marketing team who wants to have greater control over conversations that are happening on the website. She does an excellent job of qualifying leads and getting meetings booked. In addition she does an excellent job routing people to support and away from sales if that is not an area they are interested. There aren't many areas we have found Piper to be not appropriate. As we continue to hone in and improve her capabilities.

    Pros
    IBM
    • It can automatically revamp specific parts of the COBOL code and very useful when we want to maintain the existing codebase but improve its structure. I can highlight a block of COBOL code and use Watsonx Assistant to suggest ways to simplify and optimize it.
    • Legacy codes, mostly written in COBOL, are cryptic and difficult to understand. Watsonx Assistant analyzes the code and provides insights into its functionalities and dependencies. A great help when working on older applications where understanding the codebase is crucial.
    • A step-by-step approach to modernize our applications slowly and steadily, so that we can control the process better. I don't have to change everything at once. Instead, I can focus on specific COBOL modules and automatically convert them to Java.

    Cons
    IBM
    • IDE integration is not always optimal
    • I wish it could it could generate the code of an entire WEB site based on user specifications
    • I with there was a functionality to generate code based on design documents such as Sequence Diagrams, Database Architecture etc.

    • Piper the AI SDR can get tripped up when someone asks a question we weren't prepared for. Example Does the webinar cost money? Of course not but we didn't specifically put anywhere that it doesn't, and she can get confused
    • Piper the AI SDR can sometimes get overzealous and try do things she isn't able to like help someone download an ebook
    • There are some trigger limitations for email but we are aware it is on the features roadmap

    The Qualified tool itself if superb. It comes with so many features, not just the AI SDR - Sani, in our case, but additional features and benefits which I've started to take full advantage of. It's allowed us to drive engagement across the website within just days, and has already begun to see leads converted to open, and in some cases, won opportunities in under two weeks. Our AI SDR - Sani, has opened so many doors for the business. We've learned so much from our customers, website structure and content that resonates with prospects.

    Security is very important in the mainframe world. At Watsonx, we work in the trusted Z environment, which has strong security rules, stricter than those of other cloud-based solutions. My domain is primarily mainframe modernization and Watsonx Code Assistant for Z is specifically used to understand and work with COBOL, the language used majorly in mainframe environments, not any general-purpose language that used in various platforms. It understands the nuances of COBOL and Assembler specific to the Z environment, something crucial for my work.

    We chose Qualified over their competitors because of our interactions with their team and the product. Their team made it feel like this was a partnership and that we weren't just some other customer. Implementation was fast and the tool is very user-friendly. Their customer support is next level and we really appreciate that. All in all, we love their implementation time and great service

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • While manual review and adjustments are still needed, it's a 50-70% reduction in manual coding. Think about it - a project estimated to take a year is done in 4-6 months.
    • We've been able to introduce new features and improvements more quickly by updating our technology faster. One relevant example is we recently released an important update to our main product 45 days earlier than planned.
    • It has been a smart move and it's really paid off for our company. We've cut down a lot of time we used to spend doing things manually. We now spend our resources more wisely, work faster and finish projects sooner and as a result, we've reduced our development costs by 25%.
