Modernising the Mainframe: The best strategic direction to help power your digital transformation

Success in mainframe transformation and application modernisation starts with a well-informed strategy.

Do you want to modernise and move forward, or do you want to stand still? The main modernisation option offered for mainframe is getting off of it, and transitioning away from the mainframe altogether. But, these choices are not necessarily simple and don’t always represent a fork in the road that requires an all-or-nothing, choose-a-single-path decision. Much like life in general, it’s complicated.

How should organisations start their mainframe transformation?

Do you have the right workloads on the right platforms to help meet your challenges and requirements.

Arguably the best solution is a hybrid solution. During this briefing we will tackle the following strategies:

• • Invest and modernise on platform
  • Integrate services with external platforms
  • Modernise and transition off platform
