Fabio Riva Work Experience Details
  • Ibm
    Senior It Architect
    Ibm Jul 2015 - Present
    Starting from 2015 I was looking to face a technical challenge again, so I asked to be involved in the pre-sales activities for a set of specific products. In addition to the current role of zClient Architect for selected IBM mainframe customers, I was also included in the ITOA Swat Team, providing support to IBM solutions in the area of Operational Analytic. This is an exciting area of development, as ITOA on mainframe means a set of new product to be developed, adapted and integrated with distributed offer, in order to cover new requests from market. Integration with other (non-IBM) platform is the key, as most of the customers have already an operational analytic solution in place. Partnership with Splunk and support provided to open-source solutions like ELK will expand IBM ITOA solutions.
