We’re excited to partner with TechChannel on a new virtual program called _Innovation Hour,_ a dynamic format designed to spotlight technology in action.

This is not your typical slide-driven webinar. Instead, Innovation Hour centers on showcasing technology and practical insight with live demos, giving attendees a clear view of what’s possible and what’s next.

**Attendees will gain practical insight on how to:**

- **Execute COBOL workloads off the general processor:** Redistribute processing to zIIP engines and drastically cut your reliance on costly general-purpose CPU.
- **Reclaim capacity and lower costs:** Free up general processor resources for other critical work, and get more from the mainframe you already own.
- **Boost performance with zero code changes:** Speed up processing without rewriting, recompiling, or risking your proven COBOL applications.
