Welcome	Becky Albin & Arno Theiss, General Manager Adabas & Natural
A journey to agile development – VA Department of Motor Vehicles	Hear how the Virginia Dept of Motor Vehicles is embracing Software AG tools to modernize the development of mainframe applications by applying agile, scrum and sprints. Discover how modernizing the applications and user experience has increased customer and employee satisfaction.

Quick Break
Quickly modernize Natural applications for the web with Natural for AJAX	Bring modern applications to your end users to increase acceptance and productivity! Discover how to accelerate delivery of new web-based applications with modern user interfaces using NaturalONE.
