How to succeed in legacy IT modernization and avoid the pitfalls that make so many fail
Mainframe modernization is the process of improving the maintainability, integration capabilities and cost-efficiency of mainframe applications by adapting them to a more modern tech stack. Modernizing your mainframe allows you to reap the following six benefits:
Common approaches toward mainframe application modernization are called the seven Rs:
A variety of mainframe applications can be optimized during mainframe modernization, such as:
Mainframes are mainly used by financial institutions, healthcare organizations, government agencies and, to some extent, retailers. Hence, organizations in these sectors stand to benefit the most from mainframe modernization in terms of data security, performance, resilience and agility.
The scope of a mainframe modernization project can vary significantly based on:
The project scope will, in turn, determine how much time modernization requires — and that duration will differ from one organization to another. Therefore, if you want to estimate how long your mainframe modernization should take, it’s best to discuss your needs with a modernization partner and request an estimate.
Contact our modernization experts to talk about your current and desired mainframe states, and we’ll get back to you with a high-level project timeline.
Any mainframe modernization undertaking has to address the following three risks:
