In large organizations, mainframe systems are the cornerstone of success. In terms of performance and reliability, they are mission-critical.
As systems of record, they are the repository of complex transactional and operational rules and policies that define the organization.
As digital transformation initiatives are in full swing, IT leaders continue to be burdened with inflexible, high-cost infrastructures, cumbersome legacy applications, and imperatives to keep business running while needing to modernize. A big problem is mainframe environments are still challenged to update and embrace modern business requirements. They are under threat due to skills shortage in systems programmers and application developers, and outdated tools limit visibility, automation and integration. Modern technologies are required to drive innovation and agility.
Modern Mainframe Freedom – from Legacy to Digital
From Legacy to Digital
Why attend?
In this interactive event, we’ll discuss how:
- Application and software engineering leaders often find it challenging to create a modernization business case that convinces management — especially business stakeholders — to invest, with case weakness often stemming from taking an IT-centric approach.
- With an increasing number of ever more interconnected platforms in use today, it is no longer effective to approach modernization by focusing on one platform or one application at a time. Instead, the focus should be on the set of applications that support a business’s capability.
- Organizations often try to modernize the entire portfolio in one program but are unable to execute such large, high-risk programs due to their long duration and half-hearted support.
