April 2023

13th CA 2E CA Plex Conference


The 13th CA 2E / CA Plex Worldwide Developer's Conference is fast approaching and we couldn't be more excited.


Brand new: if you're interested in catching up on the General Sessions only, we have a just-launched Virtual Pass lite free of charge. Simply register here with your name and email and you're all set.


If deep dives and training are what you're looking for, get ready for the immersive, up-to-date material we've put together these many months. If already signed up, we're looking forward to meeting you.


And don't forget, as a sponsor of the Conference there will be lots of CM evolveIT content throughout, including the latest and greatest CM evolveIT solution features to help you maximize your impact.


If you want to build practical CA 2E or CA Plex skills and you can't make it in person, consider our Virtual Pass at $114 per ticket (in-person is $499).


You can attend remotely, or watch any of the videos we put out in the weeks after the conference. They'll be available for at least a year, so you'll have plenty of time to catch up on the material.


More details about the features and benefits of the Virtual Pass can be found down below.

Assessing the Legacy Code for Modernization: Best Practices


Impact analysis is a potent asset for assessing legacy code for modernization. If done right, you'll get a good look at code structure and dependencies, and you'll be in a much better position to form a solid modernization plan.
