Skyward Data

AI in Hours: Instantly Feed IBM Z Data to watsonx, SageMaker, Vertex AI & Azure ML

Modern AI projects stall when critical data is trapped on the mainframe. In this Podcast, we discuss how PropelZ™ moves VSAM, SMF, COBOL-copybook, IMS/Db2, and other IBM Z data to any AI platform in hours, not weeks—without ETL, change-data-capture headaches, or extra MIPS.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why legacy ETL & CDC fail for real-time AI and analytics

  • Inside PropelZ’s three-stage architecture (ingest ▸ transform ▸ deliver)

  • Incremental updates & zIIP-eligible performance

  • One-click targets: Amazon SageMaker & S3, Google Vertex AI, Azure ML, IBM watsonx, Postgres, Snowflake, more

  • Flat-rate pricing: $50 K/yr, unlimited data, 5 certified JDBC drivers
