The Importance of Advocacy in Building a zSystems Career

 “Advocacy is all about sharing,” says Mainline Information Systems' Dusty Rivers – and he walks the talk. Dusty has been an advocate throughout his entire career. As an IBM Lifetime Champion for zSystems, he’s inspiring a new generation of zSystems professionals. Join IBM advocacy leader Shari Chiara as she and Dusty discuss the ongoing mission of evangelizing mainframe innovation, modernization, and the growing career opportunities on the zSystems platform. “The legacy I want to leave is making people successful in the area where I started,” Dusty says, “and leaving it better than when I got into it.”
