Java at scale

At Think 2025, IBM sent a strong message during the keynote session, "Tuned for Success: IBM’s Commitment to Partner Growth and Innovation" -- you can scale enterprise Java without rewriting everything, and without the usual risk.

When Marc Haberkorn, IBM’s VP of WebSphere & Runtimes, took the stage, he broke down a reality many enterprises are quietly struggling with: outdated Java 8 applications, little documentation, and no development team in sight. That combination is more than legacy, it’s a liability.

To help clients confidently move forward, IBM introduced a portfolio of innovations delivered as part of JSphere Suite for Java, a purpose-built suite designed to accelerate application modernization and extend the life of enterprise Java workloads:

• MoRE (Modernized Runtime Extension): Upgrade to Java 17 while preserving existing WebSphere configurations, including scripts, automation, and all. (Learn more in this blog.)

• AI-powered modernization tools: Discovery, planning, and code transformation accelerated by watsonx Code Assistant (wCA), which cuts planning time by up to 99%. (Learn more in this article.)

IBM has already validated this approach internally across 200+ apps. Now it’s your turn.
