QNX x IBM App Modernization Event: Resilient by Design, Intelligent by Default, Enabled by Integration

Setting the Stage: A Vision for the Future

The Serenade Room at The Westin Manila set the perfect stage for an afternoon of innovation and forward-thinking conversation. AJ Reynolds, QNX Solutions Manager for Data and AI, opened the event with a warm welcome, setting the tone for what would be an engaging and insight-packed afternoon centered around resilience, intelligence, and the power of integration.

Unlocking Productivity with watsonx.ai and watsonx Orchestrate

The first presentation was delivered by Samu Samson, Technical Specialist for AI Productivity at IBM Philippines. Samu walked the audience through the capabilities of IBM's flagship AI products — watsonx.ai and watsonx Orchestrate — showcasing how enterprises can harness artificial intelligence not just for automation, but for meaningful productivity gains across teams and workflows. The session highlighted how AI is no longer a future concept, but a present-day business imperative.

Automating Smarter with IBM Orchestrate

Building on the AI foundation, Herbert Raza, QNX Solutions Manager for Automation and Industry-Specific Solutions, took the floor for the second presentation. Herbert brought a practitioner's perspective to IBM Orchestrate, diving deeper into how the platform enables businesses to streamline complex processes, reduce manual effort, and drive operational efficiency. His session resonated strongly with attendees looking for practical, implementable solutions.

WebMethods and Enterprise Integration

The third presentation was a special highlight of the event. Akhmad Maki, API and Integration Specialist for IBM ASEAN, flew from Indonesia to present webMethods, IBM's enterprise integration platform. Akhmad demonstrated how webMethods serves as the connective tissue of a modern digital enterprise, enabling seamless communication between applications, data, and systems. His regional expertise and deep technical knowledge made for a compelling and informative session.

Brains, Buzzers, and Bragging Rights: The IT Quiz Challenge

What's a great event without a little friendly competition? During the snack break, attendees took part in an exciting IT Quiz game that kept the energy high and the laughs coming. The top three highest-scoring clients walked away with exclusive, one-of-a-kind tokens... a memorable reward that had everyone bringing their A-game.

The Floor is Yours: An Open Panel on Real-World Solutions

Following the break, the event shifted into an open and dynamic panel discussion moderated by QNX’s Bert Bartolome. Clients and attendees were given the opportunity to ask their most pressing questions, from product capabilities to real-world implementation challenges. The panel, composed of the day's presenters and QNX specialists, provided candid, in-depth answers that helped bridge the gap between technology and practical application.
