  • Wayne Madden Hooks Up with iFD to Sell TEMBO Database Tools

    July 16, 2013 Alex Woodie

    Wayne Madden, the longtime publisher of Penton’s IBM i publications, will be working with inFORM Decisions to help it market and sell TEMBO Technology Lab‘s DDS-to-SQL database modernization tools for DB2/400, the Southern California company announced last week.

    Madden left Penton earlier this year after 23 years with Penton and Duke Communications, the News/400 publisher that Penton bought in 2000. In March, he formed a consulting company, called Madden Business Development.

    Madden will work with iFD through his consulting company to help sell TEMBO’s AO Foundation and other tools. TEMBO signed iFD as its master distributor for the Americas last summer, and it has been ramping up its database modernization business ever since.

    TEMBO says AO Foundation provides IBM i ISVs and development shops a low-risk approach for migrating IBM i databases from traditional DDS structure to the more modern DDL/SQL structure, thereby making the application easier to maintain, better performing, and more relevant.

    “As someone who shares with the IBM i community a great passion for the platform, I believe that moving to and committing to DDL/SQL is the most significant decision that an IBM i customer must consider today,” Madden says in an iFD press release. “Not only does migrating to SQL represent the foundation that can preserve your company’s commitment to the platform, but this is also key to effective and ongoing application modernization and agility.”

    Madden will kick off his work with iFD and the TEMBO tools with a webinar next week. Madden will be the primary speaker in “Moving From DDS to DDL(SQL)–A Value Bet,” which will take place on July 23 at noon ET. Interested parties can register for the webinar at ifdevents.webex.com/ifdevents/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=669039463.

    Madden has several other things cooking with Madden Business Development. According to the company’s LinkedIn profile, Madden is evaluating several opportunities, including providing sales training for one, helping to lead a sales team for another, and a combination of business development and sales for two startups. He is continuing to look for additional sales or business development opportunities as they present themselves, his profile says.

    Madden began his IT career as an operator for the S/36 and S/38. His publishing career began as a technical editor for the NEWS 3X/400 publications. He elevated through the ranks to become publisher of Duke’s, and then Penton’s, IBM midrange publications. Madden has also been an active volunteer in user groups, including COMMON, where he served as president several years ago.

    When it comes to consuming web APIs on your IBM i, your options often boil down to one of two things:

    First, you end up having to rely on a variety of open source and non-RPG solutions. This adds developer complexity, taking away time that could have been better spent invested in other projects. Of course, open source software is free, but generally comes at the cost of no professional support, which adds an element of risk in your production environment. RXS is completely professionally supported, and is complemented by a staff of trained IBM i developers who can address your nuanced development challenges, head on.

    Second, if you choose not to pursue an open-source solution, you’re often left having to shake up your current program architecture with proprietary software, external dependencies, and partial RPG implementations – many of which are sub-par compared to RPG-XML Suite’s wide range of features. RXS aims to simplify the efforts of developers with tools like code generators, useful commands, and subprocedures written in 100% RPG – no Java. Because they are entirely RPG, the RXS subprocedures are easy to add to new or existing ILE programs and architecture, helping to cut your development time. RPG-XML Suite offers powerful capabilities in an accessible, easy-to-implement format.

    With RPG-XML Suite, you can accomplish a variety of complex tasks, such as:

    • Calling REST and SOAP web services from your IBM i
    • Offering APIs from your IBM i
    • Creating JSON & XML
    • Parsing JSON & XML
    • Text manipulation, Base64 encoding/decoding, CCSID handling, hashing and encryption functions, and more.

    To try RXS for yourself, we recommend a free proof of concept, which not only gives you access to all of RPG-XML Suite’s subprocedures and utilities but also includes a tailor-made software demonstration that can be used as a starting point for your future API implementations.
